Peter Sellers stars in this quirky drama as Benjamin Hoffman, a nebbish office worker who has been in love with his company's secretary, Janet Smith, for years. When Hoffman happens onto some unsavory information about her fiance, he hatches a disturbing blackmail scheme. Presenting Janet with the information, Hoffman tells her that in return for spending a week with him, he will destroy the information. She agrees and proceeds to spend the week with the quietly psychotic Hoffman, who behaves like a perfect gentleman, never betraying his obsessive love. Disturbing and oddly moving, HOFFMAN is a powerful love story that features an unforgettable dramatic performance by Mr. Sellers. [Less]

Miss Smith's emotional transformation, which we're presumably expected to mirror, is hard to swallow and comes across more as a discomfiting Stockholm Syndrome breakdown than a tender opening of her eyes and heart.

Anchor Bay's DVD edition delivers a fine print (1.66:1 anamorphic) with good color and detail, though it's sometimes grainy and speckly. The DD 2.0 monaural audio is fine. Extras are the lengthy and hamfisted original trailer, plus a thorough Sellers bio.
