The Party
The party Though this film is a relatively minor one in the massive canon of Peter Sellers, it has moments of absolute hilarity. Written and directed by Blake Edwards, one of Sellers’s most fertile collaborators, the film stars Sellers as a would-be actor from India (let them try to get away with that today) who is a walking disaster area. After ruining a day’s shooting as an extra on a film, he finds himself unintentionally invited to a big Hollywood party. That’s pretty much it as far as plot goes, but Edwards and Sellers know how to milk a simple idea for an unending string of slapstick gags. The result is a film that is episodic and sketchy, but also frequently loony in an inspired way. –Marshall Fine
Customer Review: Wonderfully offensive
Sellers’ over the top parody of an Indian man adapting to life in the mid-60s US is a hilarious, if insensitive and highly politically incorrect, reflection of the stereotypes of the era. Funny in a guilty-pleasure kind of way: you know you shouldn’t be laughing but good luck trying not to.
