    Peter Sellers plays a bumbling foreigner once again (but this time he's not from France) in this cult-favorite comedy. Hrundi V. Bakshi (Peter Sellers) is an accident-prone actor from India who has come to California, hoping to make a name for himself in Hollywood movies. However, Bakshi quickly makes the wrong impression on producer C.S. Divot (Gavin MacLeod) and studio chief Fred Clutterbuck (J. Edward McKinley) when he accidentally blows up the set for his first film. Clutterbuck jots down Bakshi's name to remind himself to have the actor blacklisted, but he doesn't realize that he's put the name on the guest list for an upcoming party at his home. Bakshi sees the social event as an opportunity to get back in Clutterbuck's good graces, but from the moment he arrives, one thing after another goes wrong, with increasing effect; it doesn't help that he finds himself infatuated with Michele Monet (Claudine Longet), Divot's latest starlet discovery. Director Blake Edwards shot The Party with a minimal script to allow Peter Sellers and the other comic actors greater room for slapstick improvisation, which helps explain why many of the film's most memorable scenes feature little or no dialogue.

    September 19, 2009: I remember seeing this movie when I was just a kid. The movie was just as funny then as it is now. You can see how hard they tried to make Peter Sellers look Indian. And of course Peter Sellers does a good job playing the part. This movie is hilarious and it will always be one of my favorites.

    December 28, 2003: Well, this is certainly the FUNNIEST movie I have ever seen, no kidding. I have the DVD and have played it for every houseguest I have had.... maybe a dozen times now... and they all love it. Now I gotta tell you that I am a huge movie fan... and though I adore Laurel and Hardy classics, Harold Lloyd and more slapstick greats, THIS movie is unreal in that every scene is timed perfectly and does it with sophistication. BUY this one because you will continue to notice jokes in the background and expressions on the other actors faces. The lines are totally classic... 'birdie num nums' and 'howdee pardener'! Ya gotta see it to see what I mean. Today's comedies rely mainly on shock value (cussing, body noises and insults to other characters)... and in time those comedies just become more and more expected and unfunny..... THIS movie will still be funny 100 years from now..... and remain a true classic. I think its Peter Sellers best movie hands down.
