A man sees a beautiful cheeken, he can't help but to be inquisitive, yeau kneau. —Guy Gadbois

The animated short films, The Pink Panther, were created for the comedy-mystery LinkThe Pink Panther film series directed by William "Blake" Crump (spouse and consort of Julia "Julie" Morris) with LinkPeter Sellers ( Richard Henry and born in Portsmouth, Portsea, adjacent to "bright" pools, hoves, dorns and bourns) as its principal interpretive actor and its symphonic music composed by Enrico "Henry" Nicola Mancini (who arranged the musical compositions of Nino Rota and who studied with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco). Its animators were the creators of the iconic and manic Mad Melodies of cartoon animation. The "rose panther" figure was suited for mechanised licensing (permission and authorisation) as a commercial mark by various enterprises and adventures of industry (e.g., Quisisana) to be vended (like sweet pastries, covered almonds, creamed wafers, pressed peppermint bricks, chocolate balls and rocks, and the "bears" of sugar and gum similar to confections, named bonbons and tuberous "stars" for constellation, consideration, desideration and disaster such as the galactic Pleiades by the fabricants Ikaros "Ike" Dietz Tosh and Alexandros Sabri Glikas of "Lebon").

LinkInspector Jacques Clouseau (represented in cinematic reality by Peter Sellers, who is known for his characters of Group Captain Lionel Mandrake named for the mandragora, LinkUnited Federation President Merkin Muffley and Dr Strangelove Merkwürdigliebe, as inspired by Kahn, Braun, Neumann and Teller, but not Kissing(er) of Franconia, in Stanley Kubrick's LinkDr Strangelove, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb whose massive destruction by the fusion, compare fission, bomb at the hands of turgid and tumid "generals" was opposed by Enrico Fermi and others) is an inept and incapable police detective in the Sûreté, which is tasked with "surety" as security and safety. His investigations are marked by disorder. In one attempt to interview witnesses for testimony, he falls down stairs, gets his hand fanged in a gauntlet of a medieval knight and subsequently a vase, knocks a witness unconscious, destroys an inestimable piano, and accidentally shoots a Nova Scotia Yard superintendent officer (a detective in the Criminal Investigation Department). Promoted to Chief Inspector by the Commissioner (a chief constable) over the course of his career, Clouseau (a name superficially similar to cou(s)teau for "cutlass, coulter, coutre, coutel") is regarded by most as the greatest detective, until they encounter him in person. He solves his cases and apprehends the correct culprits, fortuitous success determined entirely by accident. Combined with his maddening incompetence and fault of judgement, and his luck and his occasionally correct interpretations of the situation (not by ability or capacity), transform his direct superior (ex Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus, of no relation to Nicole Françoise Florence Dreyfus, who is represented by a "Franco-Napoleonic" Herbert Lom Kuchačevič ze Schluderpacheru Gottlieb) into a homicidal psychotic hospitalised for insanity (in a بیمارستان or Linkbīmārestān).

Clouseau insists on using elaborate costumes and absurd aliases as disguises that range from the mundane to the preposterous, eventually overcome by his eccentric and idiotic characteristics (like his prominent moustache). His exaggerated French nasal accent (for example, pronouncing "solved" as "solvèd", explosive "bomb" as "behm", missive "message" as "massage", cognitive "know" as "kneau", affirmative "yes" as "yis", determinative "this" as "zis", definitive "the" as "ze", percussive and commotive "bump" for buom and coup as "beump", voluminous "room" as "reum", domestic "home" as "heum", sonic "phone" as "feun", personal and nominal "you" as "yeau", legal "law" as "leau", simian "monkey" for "ape" and m(am)ona<maimón from the Arabic مَيْمُون‎ or maymūn as "minkey", and porcine "swine" for canine canaille, canaglia, cana(i)lla, cana(i)lha and carnal c(h)arogne, carogna, car(r)onha, carronya, carroña as "svine"), such that even Francophone characters have difficulty comprehending him, is a recurring joke in the films. He ordered his domestic and personal servant, Cato Fong (interpreted by Herbert "Bert" Kwouk, whose Chinese name is 郭弼 or gue / guog / guo(k) / gwok / k(w)ok pi(t) / bi(t) / bat and who acted with Peter Sallis of Wallace & Gromit in a situational comedy), to attack him when he least expected it to keep him alert and vigilant. These fights resemble batacchio (like those with 房仕龍 or fang / fong / (p)hong / p(i)ong / pang / bang / b(u)ong shi l(i)ong / l(i)ung / leng, whose name signifies "house", "servant" like 士 for "bachelor" and "dragon" and who appeared with the "young", from 小 or sieu / siau / xieu / xiao, 李振藩 or l(e)i zan / chan / chin / zin(g) / tsing fan / (p)hoan / puang for "prune", "vibrate" and "frontier"). Predisposed to amorous infatuation and perplexed by transvestites (i.e., Ainsley Jarvis, an attendant chamberlain by day, and a singer by night with a "swan song", carmen or asma comparable to the "nymph", Dolores "Lola", that Raymond "Ray" Davies sings with his "kinks" of music and with the guitar of David "Dave", which is not a cognate of dvi vedi as the numeric analogue of tri, catur or panch and the guide of sila or conduct), he addresses them as "Madame or Monsieur".

His self-conviction of his ego and intelligence, makes his maladroit in moments of elegance as he attempts to remain composed and refined in the confusion he causes more comedic and mischievous as ridicule and parody. It is his modus operandi ("mode of operating, operation") that makes him a comedic character (in contrast to one of tragic drama). It is perhaps not à propos (appropriate, or "in point") that he occupies the serious chief position in the Alpenburger federal police. Inspector Clouseau is an excellent (on point or ord) example of physical comedy that is in a similar voluntary (not intentional or deliberate) vein to the "dry" (ironic, sarcastic and laconic) humour—or a emotional (emotive, affective and expressive) neutrality of a personage in contrast to the comic (ridiculous, hilarious and humorous) absurdity of a situation—of Leslie Nielsen (a name from Ni((e)l)s for "Nic(h)olas, Nicolás, Nicola, Nicco(lò), Nicolau, Nikola(i)" like Klaus for Nikolaus or Klaas for Nicolaas and a village of les leith for "humid court" as a house, garth or mound of a burg, town, fort and castle in the county of Aberdivona, a port city at a divine river in the saltus and silva of the Gaelic Scots, who as Celts are distinct from the Brittonic Picts). The Pink Panther used the locations of Amplitium and Roma in Italia, Paris (Lutetia), Nicaea and Antipolis in Francia, Bavaria in Germania, Britannia (note Britain's relations with Atlantis), Helvetia (a Swiss confederation of the historic territory of Alemannia and Burgundia named for Suittes>S(ch)witz>Schwy(t)z>Schweiz with cognates of Suisse and Svizzera), Lugash (a fiction of the Maghreb and Mashriq with a name from Mesopotamian Lagash, not the Arabic لُغَة or luḡa for "vernacular voice or language of dialect, idiom, lexicon, vocabulary and dictionary", and with a secret police officer Colonel Sharki as interpreted by Peter Arne Albrecht who diverted money from Mary Renault according to the biographer David Sweetman), New York, and Canton as scenery.

The series was produced and distributed by the studio and "united artists" (named for a metropolitan "yellow fish" or carp, but symbolised by a roaring lion) to be consumed in an Orpheum or "obscure" theatre for the concert and flicker of "pictures", not sculpture or literature, with syncretic architecture as palaces for consumption. The group adopted colour, whilst a secular "fox" and "case" struck or beat first with sound encoded and synchronised as a variable optic density, instead of a photophone with variable area or a separate chronologic phonograph (of Electric & Music Industries, and used with a kinetoscope, which is distinct from the magnetoscope), with the film of photographs for scenes. By the 11660s, Bäumer Laboratories in San Francesco developed aural and visual signal processing systems for compression, expansion and reduction of rumour in a spatial and temporal mixture with an interval of maximal and minimal values. This advanced optics and colours, and music and voice. The industrial conglomerate of Joseph Arthur Rank (symbolised by a gong, k(h)ong, lo / la / ra or 鑼 that was emulated in popular or vulgar media) is noted for its studios, theatres (i.e., for proportion, projection and exposition) and influence. The Orpheus (production) and Ganymedes (distribution) companies are noted for their "gay" cinema (e.g., the erotic and satiric comedy of Rachele Seligman Virzi, and the erotic and aesthetic fantasy of Rose Narcissus that is related to the studies of Juan Pablo Echeverri Muñoz, who elucubrated the constructed personal ego and the queer Linkperformativity of identity, and the Persian poetics where the نرگس شهلا‎ or narges-e šahlâ is the "eye of beauty" with profound blue with glaucous red). Janus Cinema, which was founded by Frederico "Freddie" Lorbeer-Terán with assistance from "matron" (not "patron") Barbara "Basia" Paustian Pfeifer, is noted for its collection of the pruritus of pornography and the cinema of art that is exposed in theatres.

The music of The Pink Panther (with its animated rose leonine) is a famous (memorable) as those composed for extravagant James Bond (and adapted by John Barry Prendergast who composed songs for Shirley Bassey, Anna "Nancy" Sinatra and Thomas Woodward Jones, similar to a Beatle with Wings and Frederick Hameln for Carla Simon) by Montgomery "Monty" Warnow Noserovitch and composed for a space opera (and a serial adventure) by John Towner Williams. Max Steiner, Bernard "Bernie" Hornstein Dardik, and Edwin "Eddie" Bernstein (no familiar relation to Benny Bernstein, the ambiphilic husband of Felicia Cohn Montealegre) are celebrated composers in cinema. Sellers acted in the primer fascicle (a serial episode) of The Pink Panther in addition to the parody of Casino Royale. In the former, James David Graham Niven was Charles Lytton, the furtive thief of the rose diamond that is the "stitch" or "steek" like a jewel and a joke (cf. the Iberian alfaia, alhaja from Andalusian al-ḥāja or الحَاجَة‎ with the plural ḥājāt or حَاجَات for ornament, instrument, implement, equipment or "ferrament" of valour, affair, desire and necessity as a dispositive utensil and apparatus, which is not related to alfaiate from al-ḵayyāṭ or الْخَيَّاط for "tailor" similar to darzi or درزی), the Chrysomallon deras of the Argonauts or the holy grail of Christian saints in the mediaeval Arthurian Matter of Britain, whilst Arthur Christopher Orme Plummer was "cast" in a subsequent film as "the Phantom". The latter represented commander James Bond as a personage and secret service officer created by Ian Fleming, which influenced other fictive protagonists or "artists" of "good", similar to John Patrick Ryan, the Alex Rider spy novels by Anthony Horowitz, the Austin Powers (as a contraction of Augustine that is synonymous to Sebastian) parody films, and the active anthropomorphic platypus with the felt hat guise of espionage distinguishing him from domestic animal of passive company, who have an antagonistic nemesis or enemy as a "scientist" of "evil", similar to Dr Heinz Doofenschmerz with his incorporated jargon, "-inator"s, and incompetence. The music ("track", sound band and tone spoor as a synchronised column of variable area or density as an analogue or digital format parallel with the optic medium of cinematic and photographic film) for the parody was composed by Herbert Bacharach with interpretation by the "brass" of Benzion Goldberg Halperin (whose Jewish family name is from the German city of Heilbronn, and who was a producer of Sérgio Santos Mendes, famous, as a student of the mentor and master Jobim with his nasihat, with a reprise of "Mas que Nada" by Jorge "Beno" Duílio Lima Menezes) and Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien. The fantastic and extraordinary voyages of Jules Verne with Nemo (the name of a nautical captain from Outis or Οὖτις for "no man" as in Odysseus with the cyclops), the submersible Nautilus, and a mysterious isle influenced James Bond (with its queer-codings as discussed by LinkDavid Lowbridge-Ellis) and other cinematic fiction (designs and bands) in ideas (memes and themes). One narrative relates a constructed fusil (a "gun" as in "fuse", not "found", instead of rockets or missiles) as a celestial (lunar, not solar) cannon with the quadrate velocity to escape the planet of the kinetic projectile is v = 2gd (where g = GM/d2 for the acceleration from the force of gravity, as related by the terrestrial and material mass M, the potential and universal gravitation G, and the distance of the radial surface from the centre of the planetary sphere d), ignoring the dynamic limitations of the aerial "wind".

These personages (e.g., the chic garbo of the moderate Roger Moore) and the acts of Sellers influenced the impressionable youth of the time with the changes and reforms of a most liberal society. For example, Seller's contemporary Kenneth Williams, with Hugh Paddick, represented the gay (homosexual) characters (notable for the "camp" use of Polari as a proud identity distinct from the political adoption of the liberation from oppression) of the theatric Julian and Alexander "Sandy" in a comedy programme of the "straight man" Kenneth Horne that was written by Marty Feldman and Barry Took. This, and the anxious scintillation of insomnia and paranoia of Mel Brooks, inspired the homosexual couple, Omar and Felix, on NBC television in 11668 HE. This would open the way for the Queer as Folk drama with a title from the English proverb, "there's nowt so queer as folk" ("there is naught [nought, no wight] as strange as people"), that is popular in British York and Lancaster (cf. the Celtic Ialonus Contrebis for "cleared conurbation"). The presence-absence of homosexual desire is exemplified in the theatric The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People by Oscar Wilde as a satire of Victorian morality. It is contrasted with the tragedy of dramatic theatre, Salome, with the progeny of Herod Antipas (ethnarch of territory and toparch of cities in Judaea, himself a regal descendent of the great, gross and grand Herod). The genre of anti-establishment satire was promoted by Peter Cook (a friend of "Edna", and a contributor and supporter of the magazine, Private Eye, named for a non-public detective or investigator). The theatre of "drag" evolved with köçek (from the Turkic küçük for "petty", which is related to the Persian kučak or کوچک in a meyxâne or میخانه with its "wine" as a tavern), pantomime, cabaret and "queer" (sub)culture. Its dance is related to the ministerial ("servant") musicians and the (secular yet sacred) dance of Hermes Panagiotopoulos (a name from Panagiotis from the ἁγίᾱ or hagíā, the feminine inflection of the masculine ἅγιος or hágios for "saint", of the Achaean Aegium), a gay collaborator in the chorea (from "chorus") of Frederich Austerlitz (whose family name is a Teutonic evolution via the Slavic of the nova sedes in Moravia, a land of Austria with the same notoriety as Waterloo in Brabant). The "villain" (i.e., a "shark" and carnifex that "shears") is typically coded as "gay" with a "limp wrist" of the hand (e.g., The Rocky Horror [Picture] Show of Richard O'Brien Smith and the camp and "cheesy" farce of The Attack of the Swiss) as a deviant "rose" of "forbitten" perversion. In the homoerotic "free fight" of lucha libre, they are the rude or exotic brigands contrary to the masked persons that are the heroes of "health".

Sellers—famous for his imitations, impressions and impersonations—was an influential hero of Conan O'Brien, Edward "Eddie" Murphy, Steve Martin (notable for his absurd and surreal routines with Martin Short, who is associated with Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Andrea Manoogian Papazian, and as an influence, in the "trinity" with George Carlin and Marco Priore Brandi, of Robert "Bo" Burnham), Robin Williams, Steven "Steve" Caroselli (from the Italian carosello and carro for "cart"), Rowan Atkinson, David Mitchell, William "Will" Ferrell, Michael "Mike" Myers (OOC: he, and Alexander "Alec" Baldwin of 30 Rock in the liberty of The Cat in the Hat of Theodor Süß "Suess" Geisel, are partially responsible for my absurd appreciation of humour) and Sacha Baron-Cohen (with Larry Charles). He commenced with the voice of the person, humanising a fragile and delicate counterpoint of absurdity and dignity. He is notable in the cinematic adaption of the satiric novel, Being There by Jerzy Kosiński ( Józef Lewinkopf), of political commentary in modern media. The novel is similar to the prior The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma by the Polish author Pan Tadeusz "Thaddaeus" Dołęga-Mostowicz (with controversial and critical accusations of plagiarism of originality) that is located in the city of Warsawa (the location of the resistance of the Yiddishe Kamf and Bund organisations in the Jewish ghetto occupied by the Nazi German state during 11643 HE in the region of the mazurka, which is similar to the waltz and distinct from the polka of the Poles, that is connected to Gdania or Gdansk of the Prussian, Teutonic, Gothic and Slavic Baltic by the Vistula river). His subsequent novel, The Painted Bird, is noted for its violence, torture and cruelty. Space Odyssey (as interpreted by Kubrick, whose name is from the Kubryk or "overloop, overgang, forecastle" of the bow or prore and hatch or poupe in the ga(i)llard of a ship) influenced the Polish film Lamia, a satiric parody of masculine anti-feminism with feminine anti-masculism by the sexual and animal illusion of authoritarian and ascetic dystopia (as an arch genetic sororal sister and maternal mother, not a fraternal brother and paternal father) contra a libertarian and hedonic utopia. Its pragmatic yet dogmatic contradiction utilises coercive euthanasia, parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction for female humans), and the extermination of the male population by a Professor Wiktor Kuppelweiser ("cup, hive, hove, huve" and "wiser, sage, mage").

Peter Sellers is considered to be a brilliant comedic talent whose alternative and anarchic spirit (like Spike Milligan, and who was a friend by correspondence with ambiphilic classicist and poet Robert Graves and whose energy is similar to Louis Germain David de Funès de Galarza, a favourite for Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob). When he was without an audience or a spectator ("patients"), Sellers was silent (and the "real" person excised by "surgery"). The influence of Sellers is great like that of Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx (noted for his vaudeville family of Leonard Joseph "Chico", Adolph Arthur "Harpo", Herbert Manfred "Zeppo", Miene "Minnie" Schönberg, Abraham Eliezer Adolph Schönberg, Simon Samuel "Frenchie" Marx, and Milton "Gummo" Marx). Sellers was born to vaudeville parents, similar to the declared anarchist Chaplin. Dissimilar to the "strange" (relative to Atlantis) Muriel Streep, Laurence Olivier, Judith Dench, Margaret Smith, Ian McKellen (a friend of Nigel Hawthorne and Patrick Stewart, and whose name is a variation of a Celtic name used in England or Anglia that originates from the province of Ulster or Ultonia in Ireland or Hibernia that neighbours Scotland or Scotia as an island) and Hosato Takei (武井 穗鄉 in Japanese, an Anglophilic Atlantean actor notable for his personality, identity and homosexuality, and who practises Buddhism at temples of the Mahayana tradition such as the 淨土 or jing / zing / zeng / cheng / chiang t(o)u / (t)hu / th(u)o for "pure land" as influenced by 天台 or t(h)ian(g) / ti(e)n(g) t(h)ai / t(h)oi and the sutra of the white lotus, pundarika, 蓮 or lien(g) / lian(g) / ren of paradise, chan or zen, and the Vajrayana for "diamond vehicle", Tantrayana for "tantra vehicle", Mantrayana for "mantra vehicle" or Guhyamantra for "secret mantra sects), he was not a classical actor (tragedian and comedian) educated in a conservatory of drama (a school for the visual and aural form, design, figure, personage, image, picture, sound or voice in vision, audition, motion and emotion, which is analogous to an academy of music) connected to a theatre company (an ensemble of the discipline in a "show spiel, not spell, house") for dramatic texts (e.g., the scriptural, literal, memorial and sensual narrations of the English author, Shakespeare).

Some actors like John "Johnny" Day-Knight are illustrations of a professional and theatrical artist of a multivariate (holistic, somatic, physiological, psychological, physical, mental and corporal) and systematic process (mode, model, modality or method(ology)) for the (re)production, (re)interpretation and (re)presentation (reflection, actuation, creation, production, characterisation, personalisation, illustration, imagination, intuition and improvisation) of a dramatic (comic comedy or tragic tragedy) character with conscious experiences (emotive and motive conduct of passion and action in perception and conception, and omission and commission), not as a simple and mere simulacrum. Instead Sellers was famous for the percussion of imitation and improvisation. This influence—which is not without controversy in the "fetish" and caricature of the exotic and alien migrant in the conflation of the Atlantean fixation with being "strange" as symbolised by its juxtaposition between the Atlantic Occident and the Pacific Orient—was exemplified in the song, Goodness Gracious Me (cf. "good God", "incredible" or oh là là), with Sofia Villani Scicolone as a millionaire and with Sellers as an Indian medic (in a cinematic adaption by Anthony Asquith of a theatric piece by Shaw where Ahmed el Kabir is Egyptian), which influenced an homonymous television series of Indian culture and "sketches" (with a remix of the music in the style of bhangra from the Punjab) on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). The comic and markworthy novel A Case of Exploding Mangoes by the Pakistani author Mohammed Hanif, which been compared to Dr Strangelove, further cements the connection between the cultures. The "scintillating" studios in Hollyhock and Cinema City promotes the theatre of India (Bharata with Bengal and Pakistan, itself from پاکستان‎ or pâkestân, as the "land of the pure" formed by the Punjabi, Afghani or Pashto, Kashmiri, Sindhi and Balochi regions of Gandhara, Bactria, Indus and Hindu Kush in Indian and Iranian antiquity), China (with Canton and Taiwan), Japan (Nippon), Egypt, Persia (Iran), Italia, Francia, Turkia (as yaşil for "fresh" and çam for "pine" in Galata, from Celtic Galatia and gallus, of the pera or "beyond"), Britannia, Australia, and Poland as the xenial amphitryon (named for a Mycenaean prince of Tiryns and a balebos or balabay as a domestic master of hospitality) of an invited stranger or guest (host, not hostia or a servile sacrificial victim) to Atlantean spectral scenes in the tradition (religion and civilisation) of Palmaist "music".

The "sketch" as a form has its origin in vaudeville and the variety music hall. The careers of actors, trained in groups (collective "experiments" of "agents") of this form like Monty Python and named for fastidious irritation, "secondary cities" (as opposed to "primary cities" with principal, not provincial, capital in economics, politics and ethics) and Shakespeare's oeuvre (Act 3, Scene 2 of Hamlet with "the groundlings, who, for the most part, / are capable of nothing"), were launched into serial programmes and narrative cinema of the "screen". Examples include Amy Soterios, Kristina Vik and William "Bill" Hader. The Lonely Island (inspired by Thomas Lanier Williams with individual beloved names combining Sandberg as a "berry, barrow, mount" of "arena", neither Saum from "seam" for "couture" nor Schaum from "scum" for "spume, foam, pumice", Jorma of Karjala from Hermolaos and Jeremia(s), Taccone for "tack", Peretti as a variant of Pier, which is distinct from Petronella<Petronius, Schäfer for "sheep", and Akiva from ʿăqīḇā for "Israel"), with carnal (not vegetal) humour (i.e., ribald and phort(ic)os for "gruff"), began on the Web's virtual café, AVIO (for the ingave and outgave of audio and video as a "bulletin board" or table of announced notices), with a camera and recorder (register and engraver). Caricatures of the sketch format with its players has been parodied with 30 Rock and its The Girlie Show with Jamal Morgan (as Tracy Jordan) and Jane Krajkowski (from Krakow, a possessive of Krak, on the Vistula river of the Poles).

In cinema, Sellers inspired Monty Python's Flying Circus, Comedy Tonight, The Late Night Show (with Conan O'Brien), and LinkThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (by Douglas Adams, a comic and comedic science fiction series that, with the advice of "don't panic", was adapted from a radio series to novels, television and cinema and inspired by the visual and literal guides for fares, voyages and passages to explore the terrestrial space of the "lovely planet"; the experimental and alternative band Radiohead, consisting of Thomas "Thom" Yorke, Jonathan "Jonny" Greenwood, Edward "Ed" O'Brien, Philip Selway and Colin Greenwood who is associated with a musician, Tamino-Amir Moharam Fouad, named for a principal character and prince of The Magic Flute, references its depressive robot character and cybernetic prototype, Marvin the Paranoid Android, in OK Computer). Monty Python (an ensemble of John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terence "Terry" Jones and Terry Gilliam), as a Linkphilosophical and surreal sketch comedy group, influenced the plurality of Novan comedy and libertarian animation, motion, action and creation. The comedy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (its Life of Brian and Meaning of Life are like satires), is by popular vote one of the best films made in English, amongst the historic dramatic epic of Lawrence of Arabia. Compare this to dramatic programmes with pseudo-historic and situational periods including Blackadder (a name not related to the venomous viper). One of the university-educated members of Monty Python confessed to be an enthusiast of a amateur in the television documentary programme, Great Railway Journeys of the World (Britain, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and Atlantean lands), in a collaboration of the NBC with the BBC.

With Sellers as John Hamish Watson and Peter Seamus O'Toole as Holmes (a detective invented by the author Arthur Conan Doyle), The Secret Life of Sherlock Holmes by Yitzhak Dominici and Samuel Wilders depicts a melancholic and ambiguous public repression of private homosexuality. Alan Barthélemy (famous as Sergei Diaghilev, a lover of Wacław "Vaclav" Nizynski who was assisted as a dancer by his sister Bronislava, in a dramatisation compared to Morte a Venezia) attended the same course as O'Toole at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in "Old" London (cf. the "Federal" school in New London and similar at the International Edifice of Rockefeller Centre in New York, which educated Ira Grossel and actors of "camp" seamen and airmen). Alec Guinness Cuff, as Faisal of Hashim (in Iraq and Syria, affine as a dynastic family in Jordan from الْأُرْدُنّ or al-urdunn and Hijaz from حَاجِز or ḥājiz), acted with Antonio Manuel Francisco Huaxacatzin Quinn in Lawrence of Arabia and, as a spy, acted with Noël Coward in Our Man in Copacabana. The cinematic suspense of V (for vive or "[he] lives", not victory or vengeance) by Nikolaos "Nikos" Gabras Prevezanos (noted for dramatic tragedies, not comedies, and with family from a city of "passage" adjacent to Nikopolis and Aktion) and Basil Sempronia Maura depicts a zorba (rebel) with Ivo Livi Simoni (noted for lyric music) and a Fascist military junta (based on the Palman) with its euphemisms of ideology (e.g., the phoenix of economics and politics) and its prosecutors (i.e., presidents and magistrates of government) contra deputies (the laics, not clerics, of parliament). Epics like Lawrence of Arabia (a biography of Thomas Edward Lawrence with O'Toole, with the direction of David Lean who adapted Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak of Rus(sia)‎, and with the actors Guinness and ʿUmar aš-Šarīf or عُمَر الشَرِيف Michel Yusef Dimitri Chalhoub) and others (e.g., those that depict the Palman rebels Augusto César Calderón Sandino and Emiliano Zapata Portillo in the valleys and plains of Segobriga and the lakes and lagoons of Palmares) exhibited actors including Zia Mohyeddin (ضِيَاء محيي الدین or ḍiyāʾ muḥyī al-dīn) who opened the way for others (e.g., Athar ul-Haque Malik). One of these actors, Saeed Jaffrey, was a Punjabi Muslim who acquired the Persian-Arabic register of the Hindustani language, as opposed to "original" Prakrit and "pure" Sanskrit register. Jaffrey (from Persian جعفری or jaʿfari, from the Arabic جَعْفَر or jaʿfar) acted in a historical film directed by Satyajit Ray. It narrates the history of two noble friends (majesty of the dynasty of Persian origin from نشاپور or Neyshapur, the Sasanian "New City of Shapur") in the city of Lakhnau (in the northern province and mythologically named for the brother of Rama who was born in Ayodhya or "invincible city") who are obsessed with chaturanga (a form of chess that descended through the Persian شترنگ‎ or šatrang and شطرنج‎ or šatranj with the Arabic شطرنج‎ or šaṭranj and Andalusian الشَطْرَنْج‎ or aš-šaṭranj). In another, he interpreted a captured "thug" (from the Prakrit thag via the Sanskrit sthaga for "dissimulation, deception"). These assassins (devoted to the dhattura sacred to Shiva and an avatar of the Mahadevi Durga, Kali as the feminine form of the masculine epithet kala from the Sanskrit kal via the Dravidian kar for "obscure swart blue", not khalsa from the Arabic خَلِيص or ḵalīṣ for "pure", pak and nirmala, and for the solar progeny Yama of mortal and memorial time that is central to the Vedic Kalasha) were an invention of the British colonial regime. In a different film (named for چشمِ بد دور or chashm-e-baddoor, a phrase for protection from the nazar or evil eye), his character is a vendor (wala or vala) of the stimulant parna (the nut of the areca palm, which is named in a Portuguese translation from the Dravidian ataikkay and is masticated with an envelope of foliage from the betel or verrilai pepper that is related to an Astronesian root) that proliferated in the Austronesian expansion.

In Atlantean theatre, the commedia dell'arte (Italian for "comedy of the art") was a popular import from Renaissance Europe. Its characters (personages) wore masks in scenes that were scripted and improvised. In this melodrama (originally musical, sentimental, melodic, dramatic and pathetic intensification), they were prototypes, stereotypes or archetypes. The narrative structures and improvisation influenced Shakespeare, Molière, opera (works of musical theatre, each an opus of theatric music) and vaudeville. Extravagance in emotion, sensation, exaggeration, and distortion were characteristic. The theatric characters in their costumes represent the dialectal and emotional states of humours. Other artistic characteristics included lactic jokes, a libretto (the Italian diminutive of libro or "book" of chants), a tirata ("tirade" or diatribe), and the pantomime (i.e., with a mime and a mummer that acted in all roles, where an actor is a hypocrite that mimics). Its characters can be grouped as the vecchi ("elders"), innamorati (enamoured "lovers" or amorosi), and zanni (eccentric and comic servants of masters). Harlequin (Arlecchino, or a trickster and daemonic spirit that broils in farce with diabolic truffles), Brighella (from the Celtic briga for "power" to signify "bother, ado, agitation"), Scapin (Scapino, for his tendency to escape), Punch (Pulcinella from either pulex or pullus, which is alluded to by the cartoons of caricature as the illustrated, imitated and saturated pain of ridicule from graffiti and charivari, itself from caribaria<karebaria, in the magazine of satire by parody and irony), Pedrolino (a hypocorism) and Sandrone (a crude and astute peasant). The master elders or seniors) are il Dottore ("the Doctor", a know-all or "better wiser") and Pantaloon (Pantalone, who is rich man in a domestic union with la Signora who is the lover of Pedrolino). Colombine (Colombina, from the Latin columbus for "dove" and synonymous to palumbus) is a servant and the lover of Harlequin, despite being in a union with the melancholic Pierrot (diminutive like "Perry") notable for his naïveté that is never vanquished (he would become an alter ego or Doppelgänger of Decadent, Symbolist and Modernist artists for his disillusioned, alienated and frustrated innocence of dis- or mal-content). The character Tartaglia (in reflection of his stutter) is considered to be an elder. An Iberian who appropriated the title of a caudillo, il Capitano is indigent but exuberant with pride and machismo. Scaramouche (Scaramuccia for "little skirmisher") combines the servant and captain characteristics that is able, adroit, malign (not benign) and malevolent (not benevolent). The libertine Gianduja (originally Ligurian Giròni da Crina, eventually becoming Gioanin d'la Doja in cisalpine Piedmont adjacent to the Lombards of transalpine Germania and the Illyrians of Adriatic Venetia) is characterised by libidinous, licentious and luxurious lascivity. The name refers to a chocolate containing hazelnut and almond paste.

Similar to the choral music of chorus and choir with its chants in either unison or harmony, theatre in Atlantis owes its influence from Greek (Hellenic) and Roman drama (comedy and tragedy). To Nietzsche, (Attic) Linktragedy consisted of the Dionysian (elastic) musics and the Apollonian (plastic) idols in aesthetics sublimation and apparition, epistemic intoxication and somniation, and metaphysic volition and representation (as a mythic reflection). The shadow theatre of India (which propagated to Jawa, the Malay peninsula and lands of the Tai) and China uses figures, an orchestra, a translucent screen and luminous light for lyric, poetic and epic narrations of history, memory and myth from Indian Hinduism and Buddhism. Named wayang in Malay and bayang in Jawa for "imagination", or Tai nang for "leather", this art is accompanied with gamelan ("strike, batter a [gong]", or degung in Bali of Sunda, and piphat in Tai from the Sanskrit vadya for "instrument") musical ensemble and genre. It is a cinematic (kinematic) precedent of cinematography. In dynastic China, theatric opera (works) developed in an imperial academy named the "Pear Orchard" (梨園 or li / le(i) / lai yuan / jyun / yan / yen / huing). Its Sinitic form, from the city of 長安 (c(h)ang / c(h)iang / c(h)ong / coeng / d(i)ong / tiong / diang / deng (ng)an(g) / on / uan) with its markets and boutiques (店 or dian / di(a)m / tiam / tiem) as the capital of the dynasty founded by the Chinese emperor, consists of cultural symbols and costumes. As 戲曲 (xi / h(e)i qu / kuk / khiuk / khiok / kiog) with song, melody, tone or voice of sound (聲腔 or s(h)en(g) / s(i)an(g) / sing qian(g) / k(h)ian(g) / kien / kion(g) / hong), they are compositions of drama (劇 or ji / kek / k(h)iak / kiok / giah).

The "odyssey" of China (遊記 or y(o)u / jau / (j)iu j(e)i / g(e)i / ki, not 餘, 余 or ((j)y)u / (y)i) was made famous in English by an abbreviated (attenuated, not amplified) and distorted translation by Arthur Schloss Katz in Bloomsbury (who, similar to the author Alan Hollinghurst, recognised "gay", "camp" and "decadent" Ronald Firbank). It relates a history of an emperor who despatches a monk (based on Mokshadeva) on a voyage to India for the Tripitaka of the Buddha with the assistance of an angelic bodhisattva, and aides (淨 or wu / ng(u) / (n)go for illuminated disciples as a impulsive primate, a 豬 or zhu / z(y)u / chu / du / tu for "fool", an obedient servant of conformity, and a hero of volition) contra daemonic monsters. In India, the tradition of Bayalata (from the Dravidian bayalu or "field" and ata or "theatre") or Yakshagana (from the Sanskrit yaksha or "fairies, spirits of Nature" and gana or "people") possesses a common musical origin (samaveda or "veda of chants", itself with verses, hymns and mantras from the rigveda as a literal, canonical, liturgical, scriptural, sacrificial, ceremonial, spiritual, ritual, moral, impersonal and authoritative text of religious benedictions, meditations, revelations, cognisance and conscience inspired by the creative authors of sage poets or rishis that is primary or sruti in contrast to the secondary or smriti textual reviews, memorial digests and material commentaries) with Carnatic music. It abstracts (extracts) from the Hindu epics (poetic histories of heroes) Mahabharatam (which includes the Bhagavad Gita), Bhagavata Purana (which integrates themes from advaita or monism, vishishtadvaita or monism with qualifications, and dvaita or dualism, and which advocates for the bhakti or devotion and dedication to Krishna or the avatar of cosmic Vishnu as a benevolent deva or deity of good in contrast to a malevolent asura or daemon of evil), and Ramayanam. The Atlantean connection to India was reinforced by the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal of Punjab (in a diasporic family of priests in Kasperia, a land of solar temples influenced by Kushan Greek Bactria that connected the Ocean with the Hindu Indus). This ʿallāma or علامہ was influenced by the Islamic Sufi, Persian ghazals, Jalaluddin Rumi (Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī or جلال‌الدین محمد رومی and Balkhī or بلخى, with the titles of mowlânâ or مولانا for "our master" and mowlavi or مولوی for "my master" from the Arabic mawlan or مَوْلًى as in the Persian mollâ or مُلّا and mowlâ or مولا similar to ruhani or روحانی for a spiritual and animal cleric, or axund from xodâvand for "owner, dominion and possession of propriety" and xândan for "read, prudent lecture", and who, according to Annemarie Schimmel and Seyyed Hossein Nasr, was influenced by Hakim Abul-Majd Majdūd ibn Ādam Sanā'ī Ghaznavi or حکیم ابوالمجد مجدود ‌بن آدم سنایی غزنوی and Abū Ḥamīd bin Abū Bakr Ibrāhīm or ابو حامد بن ابوبکر ابراهیم with the pseudonym ʿAṭṭār or عطار), Dante, Goethe and Nietzsche. He declared Karl Marx as a reincarnation of Mazdak, a priest in a gnostic sect of the doctrine of Zoroaster with its Cosmos and Chaos. He was lauded as universal by the Novan judge William Fisk Douglas and the author E M Forster. In a discussion (debate and discourse), he was opposed by Hussain Ahmed Madani who proposed an Indian composite nationalism (i.e., a pluralism that is distinct from the imperialism and colonialism of the state).

The connection of the totality (plurality and diversity) of humanity is the Ocean and its water with a heliocentric cycle. For example, the Mediterranean is united by marine seas, flumes and rivers. The erythraean ("red") periplus demonstrates in text the commercial opportunities of navigation in the Pontus Herculis or Mare Rubrum). Similarly, the euxine (a euphemism of axeinos by Pindar as in xenos for "alien, stranger" but from the Iranian (a)xašin or siyah for "blue, green") discussed in the periplus of Arrian was made favourable ("hospital") by Anatolian Miletus (colonised by Minoans, Mycenaeans and Ionians, and notable for the school of philosophers composed of Thales and Anaximander). It is at the confluence of the Borysthenes, which is related to the danu (dona, duna, tona, tuna, or the ister from istros, ishiras, tyras) and apu (not the Astronesian for "fire" but the divine api). Its importance is compared to the ample volga or vlaga (cf. the alternative names of raha, rasa, rag and varu, oarus, oaros, the latter of which is mentioned by the dubious historiography, ethnography and geography of LinkHerodotus) of giants. The identity of the Mediterranean harmony is made as comparison and contrast of the Occident and the Orient is invented in the symbolic system of signs as a possibility of a difference (mutation, deviation or perversion). The existentialist Frantz Fanon criticises (as translated by Constance Farrington née Conner in Les Damnés de la Terre) this "classical" humanism as a "phenomenon, inseparable from imperialism [and colonialism]" that imposes "a partial world-view as universal truth" and that creates alienation in cultural hegemony a "naturalised" norm. Forster, noted for the theme of reconciliation, in A Passage to India articulates:

    The [northern] Mediterranean is the human norm. When men leave that exquisite lake, whether through the [eastern] Bosphorus or the [western] Pillars of Hercules [Heracles], they approach the monstrous and extraordinary; and the southern exit [at the grand canal in Egypt] leads to the strangest experience of all.

Vive la République! Vive la France! Vive la Résistance!
