In the film Peter Sellers made La pantera rosa. then was hired by Stanley Kubrick to make Il dottor Stranamore - Ovvero: come ho imparato a non preoccuparmi e ad amare la bomba In actuality, "Dr. Strangelove" was made first, in 1962, and "The Pink Panther" was made one year later, in 1963.
The film shows Columbia pictures asking Stanley Kubrick to hire Sellers because "The Pink Panther" was such a hit. In reality, Columbia was convinced Kubrick's previous film Lolita was a hit because of the way Sellers' character disguised himself as other characters adopting various accents, and that he would be good in multiple roles due to his performance in Il ruggito del topo.
At the time that "Doctor Strangelove" was released, American audiences had previously seen Sellers play multiple roles in Il ruggito del topo, but Sellers was not yet the major star in America he would become when "The Pink Panther" was released. It has been suggested many American audiences did not realize one actor was playing multiple roles.
