At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Why does the character need to be Indian. Pierre Richard does a good of this slapstaick stuff without having to resort to this?
"The Party" is simply a hilarious movie which is still can be considered funny even if is 50 years old. In this movie we have an Indian actor who makes a disastrous mistake and destroys a whole set of a movie, after that the director of it wants to take revenge by eliminating his options of getting another movie but makes a tremendous mistake by inviting him to his own party.I really enjoyed this movie and I had a great time. Peter Sellers who plays as Hrundi V. Bakshi makes another hilarious performance, his interpretation is just amazing. I have to mention that I also liked the interpretation of Steve Franken who plays as Levinson (the waiter) and he is simply amazing too. Another good interpretation is made by Claudine Longet who plays as Michele Monet a young woman who wants to be a successful actress. All the credits about this have to go to Blake Edwards who was responsible for the direction of it and obviously he did a great job at it.Finally I would like to mention that "The Party" is a very good movie which I believe everyone has to watch because I am sure that you will laugh a lot. I strongly recommend it to everyone, just watch it.
Timing is everything in comedy, and thus thrilling classic is probably the most continuously hysterical film that I have seen in years. This is one of those films where you must watch without distraction and without turning away for any reason. Those who dismiss comedy as not an art form should open up to films like this where every moment is staged to be precisely perfect down to the second. This really has no major plot, just the goings on at a lavish Hollywood party where Sellers, as an accident prone Indian actor, shows up stag and unknowingly turns the evening into a series of accidents, aided by a drunken server, a few ditsy starlets, and just plain bad timing. While there are a few familiar faces involved (Marge Champion as the hostess and Gavin MacLeod with a toupee as a rather nasty guest), the supporting cast is mainly unknown actors who are directed to not react to the things going on, giving the assumption that they were simply to ignore everything going on around them, exposing pretentious behavior from the audacious guests.The genius of Peter Sellers and director Blake Edwards surpassed the two Pink Panther films with this where every inconceivable accident happens to him. I don't find anything offensive in Sellers' portrayal of a Hindu man; in fact he's quite lovable in his flaws, gentility and sincerity. So while it may indeed be a mad, mad, mad, mad party, there's nothing maddening for the audience except perhaps the fact that it will take several viewings to capture everything going on.
I have watched this movie many times and find new things the laugh at every time, Peter was great and the drunk waiter was just as good, He all most steals the show with his antics and he get a drunk woman in the end. I would love to own his three wheel Morgan. Oh and what a house all the mid sixty items are worth a fortune now, Have a few drinks and watch it. The house is a remote control dream from a bar that slides away to a pool that covers up with a walk way. From the start you have a crazy guy that wont die to blowing up a fort in the desert while doing up his sandal.the Russian get in the act with vodka flowing, watch out of the elephant in the room
