heavenly Sellers film - By: Mr. DH Dixon, 04 Jun 2008
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, & he's a British great too. In this case Sellers creates one of his best character performances & 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.

Heavens Above! Has Peter Sellers at his best as a rather 'posh' Vicar. Full of laughs & proper acting.
One of SELLERS best, poignant, touching and funny - By: P. D. gray, 28 Mar 2007
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 & 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 & end up robbing him blind, one of the best roles Sykes has had & 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.
