"The Optimists of Nine Elms", also known as "The Optimists" , is a 1974 British drama film starring Peter Sellers and directed by Anthony Simmons. The film is about an old street musician (played by Sellers) who strikes up a friendship with two children—Mark, played by John Chaffey (who at the time was featured in many advertisements on TV) and Liz, played by Donna Mullane. Neither of the child actors were featured in future films. A young Keith Chegwin also played a small role in the film.
The screenplay had originally been written several years earlier as a comeback vehicle for Buster Keaton, but it had not been filmed dueto difficulties in financing (as Keaton, a longtime alcoholic,Fact|date=December 2007 was considered uninsurable) followed by Keaton's death.
