Wikipedia
The Optimists, also known as The Optimists of Nine Elms, is a 1973 British drama film starring Peter Sellers and directed by Anthony Simmons, who also wrote the 1964 novel on which the book is based. 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.
