5.0 out of 5 stars One of SELLERS best, poignant, touching and funny, 28 Mar 2007
By P. D. gray "Paul G" (Tyne and Wear, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Im so glad this film has had a dvd release in the UK, seems as though we've waited ages for it. This has to be one of Peter Sellers finest, most unappreciated films, largely ignored on its initial release but getting a strong following as the years went by. Unlike some of his later characterisations he underplays this one beautifully and its a very believable character, a lowly vicar trying hard to practice what he preachs but sadly causing chaos around him. The supporting cast are also brilliant with a turn from Eric Sykes as the head of a LARGE family who come to live with the vicar and end up robbing him blind, one of the best roles Sykes has had and his wife played by Irene Handle is also a joy to watch.

If you want to see Peter Sellers at his best, for once able to keep his manic personality OFF the screen then view this film, a lovely piece of cinema.

5.0 out of 5 stars heavenly Sellers film, 4 Jun 2008
By DH Dixon "whitespeck" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of two important Sellers films in which Sellers gets upstaged by Kenneth Griffith. Griffith only lasts a minute or two but his fiery Welsh vicar is well worth having, and he's a British great too. In this case Sellers creates one of his best character performances and I like this character particularly. He joins up with Ian Carmichael again. On my TV the widescreen masking at the bottom on the right flickers irritatingly, which I've not had before. Otherwise a fine print of a great Sellers film.

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Heavens Above! Has Peter Sellers at his best as a rather 'posh' Vicar. Full of laughs and proper acting.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor Peter Sellers
A truly dreadful film. Inane, involving, a waste of some usually great actors and a poor representation of Peter Sellers gifts. Avoid.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heavens Above
A much gentler Peter Sellars but still a good film. Irene Handl very good as always. Not quite the appeal as other Sellars movies but worth watching

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven sent. My favourite film ever.
My favourite film and, possibly, the best British comedy film, ever made. A true classic gem. If you like Ealing type films, and enjoy lots of laughter, this film is a must. Read more
