Did anyone else think the barber was almost a lookalike for Peter Sellers? He also had some Sellers-like mannerisms. Does anyone know who the actor was? I looked in the credits and can't find him listed.

I didn't notice before, but now I see what you mean. Sellers was certainly a better looking man than Hollywood apparently gave him credit for (considering some of the people they chose to portray him or replace him as Inspector Clouseau).

Paolo Carlini played the barber http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0137567

Did any of you catch that when he stopped dancing to fix her hair, he did so into the shape of the mustache he had cut off during the day since last seeing Ann? I took that as great subtile comedy moment and saying he was more in love with himself than anything more... LoL
