  The Mouse That Roared - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mouse that Roared is a 1955 novel by Irish writer Leonard Wibberley that launched a series of satirical books about a fictional European nation called the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.
Expecting to be dealt a crushing defeat (and then rebuild itself through the largess that the United States bestows on its vanquished enemies such as in the Marshall Plan) the tiny Duchy instead defeats the United States, purely by accident, by capturing the Q-bomb, a prototype doomsday device that could destroy the world if triggered.
The Mouse That Roared was made into a 1959 film starring Peter Sellers in three different roles (the Duchess, the Prime Minister, and Tully Bascombe, the military leader), Jean Seberg as his love interest, and co-starring William Hartnell as Will Buckley.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE MOUSE THAT ROARED
THE MOUSE THAT ROARED ($25) is a delightfully amusing political/social satire that features the comic genius of Peter Sellers in three separate roles.
The plot of THE MOUSE THAT ROARED is concerned with the world’s smallest country- The Duchy of Grand Fenwick, which occupies less than sixteen square miles of European real estate in the French Alps.
However, THE MOUSE THAT ROARED is not an overly attractive looking movie, which would seem to stem from its original cinematography and the fact that the Eastmancolor processing of 1959 was less than stellar.

 The Mouse That Roared
He kept increasing the dose of the mouse sarcoma cells — one of the most malignant tumors known for mice — to huge levels (10 percent of body weight) and still nothing.
But discovery of the mouse was only the first of many surprises, surprises that may challenge conventional thinking on cancer progression and the body’s defenses against cancer.
It turned out that whether a colony mouse displayed complete resistance to cancer or developed a cancer first, then experienced spontaneous regression, was determined by the age of the mouse at its first exposure to cancer cells.

 What A Bird: The Mouse that Roared?
Apparently, an 81 year old man catches a mouse, and then tries to dispose of it by throwing it in a pile of burning leaves.

At Xerox, the mouse remained a lab-only phenomenon until Apple Computer copied the idea in the early 1980s--three decades after it was first mooted.
Two of the biggest changes have been that the cord was moved from the back of the mouse to the front, and the main control button has shifted from the right side to the left.
Over the years, he has developed control devices for both hands--a mouse for one hand and a five-key keyboard for the other--a setup that can increase the speed of performing certain tasks, experimental results suggest.

 The Mouse That Roared DVD - Michael Weise Productions
"The Mouse That Roared," directed by Jack Arnold, is an entertaining satire about the fictional Duchy of Grand Fenwick, a tiny European monarchy which may remind viewers of such real countries as Liechtenstein or Monaco.
With his country facing bankruptcy, the prime minister of Grand Fenwick announces his clever plan to declare war on the United States of America; his intent is to lose the absurdly uneven contest and reap the benefits of post-war American aid.
I think of "Mouse" as a gentler cousin to the classic "Dr. Strangelove," another military satire that stars Peter Sellers in three different roles; together I think the films would make a great double feature.

Luciano Mares, 81, had a mouse in the house, and after some effort he managed to catch it — apparently without using a conventional snap-and-smack mousetrap, which would have killed the critter.
Instead, he went outside to a pile of burning leaves and tossed the mouse onto the pile.

The one-button mouse was the last indisputable disadvantage of Apple hardware, and also the last vestige of stubbornness left over from the pre OS X days.
Nearly every mouse at Fry's claims to be compatible to both platforms, so I picked up a USB mouse with two buttons and a wheel, plugged it into the Mac and just like that my Mac had no more cross-platform gotchas.

 The Mouse That Roared (1959): Peter Sellers, Jean Seberg, Leo McKern - PopMatters Film Review
Although made five years earlier at the same Shepperton Studios in England, The Mouse That Roared has many ingredients identical to Strangelove's -- Sellers in three corresponding roles (the bumbling queen, the conscientious soldier, the conniving politician), a nuclear threat, war, and political manipulation.
But The Mouse That Roared is also evocative of a time when, even though the world was one itchy trigger finger away from annihilation, media resisted the kind of mean-spirited cynicism that serves as lifeblood for today's reality TV.

Danger Mouse never set out to disrupt the equilibrium of copyright law that has governed the music business over the last several decades.
Danger Mouse's The Grey Album didn't just catch fire with the public, it burned down the established principles some feel unfairly work against hip-hop and the techniques (sampling, namely) that guide the music.
Danger Mouse will aim to rupture musical boundaries with his first solo album (sans rap partner Jemini, with whom he released the 26-inch EP and Ghetto Pop Life in April); expected next year, one hopes it will be as creatively fearless as The Grey Album.

Well, "The Mouse That Roared" was a sort of prequel to that.
