Summary: Great timepiece of a film
Review: A classic Peter Sellers showing his profound imagination and impersonation abilities. Very un-PC for today's standard but fun to watch how stereotypes are portrayed.

Summary: Laugh until your sides hurt
Review: This was definitely one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I am of East Indian origin, but was not offended in the least. Peter Sellers did a remarkable job in portraying an Indian actor in Hollywood, meek and naive. He really never fits in but manages interact with the crowd. Extremely funny. I can watch it over and over and always crack up laughing.

Summary: Not his best but still good
Review: I liked this movie although it isn't Sellers best one. It gets a bit slow in the middle but I think the ending made the wait worth it.Sellers plays a lousy Indian actor who is accidently invited to a high class party. He goes around the house getting into humorous trouble. I loved his routine with the remote control panel and the house PA system. The movie does drag a bit until the hostess' daughter crashes the party with her friends and an elephant. Fake accent or not I did enjoy watching Claudine Longet. If your a Sellers fan I think you'd enjoy this movie.

Summary: Peter sellers at his best comedic performance
Review: Peter sellers at his best comedic performance. Excellent make up and thick accent makes him oustandingingly different from his other great roles such as one in classic "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb".

Summary: Funniest.Movie.Ever.
Review: See title. I only wish that this dvd had more bonus features, but I am very glad this is in my collection. This movie had me laughing all the way through it when I first saw it when I was 10, and it still makes me laugh 27 years later.

Summary: "Birdie Num Num"
Review: This is one heck of a funny movie. I have seen it a few times and it always cracks me up. Peter Sellers plays an character by the name of Hrundi V. Bakshi, an Indian actor, who accidentally gets invited to a posh, exclusive, Hollywood party and proceeds to inadvertantly make a shambles of the entire affair. There are so many gags in this movie, you really have to watch it more than once to appreciate it. One interesting fact about this movie I recently read..."The Party" was improvised from a 40-page outline. Each scene was shot in sequence, and built upon the previous scene. To aid in this experiment, the film's producers had a video-camera tube attached to the Panavision camera and connected to an Ampex studio videotape machine - allowing the actors and crew to review what they had just filmed. Thus, "The Party" was the first movie ever shot with the now-standard "video assist" system. If you enjoy the Pink Panther movies, then you will most likely enjoy this. Instead of a bumbling French detective, Sellers portrays a bumbling Indian actor, and look for a great performance by Steve Franken as Levinson, a waiter at the party who likes the drink a bit too much. Also, I though Denny Miller was great as 'Wyoming Bill' Kelso. This was directed by Blake Edwards, and is the only non Pink Panther movie he and Peter Sellers made together. Original music by the Great Henry Mancini. Just a whole lot of fun!

Summary: A Great Party on DVD!
Review: One of the most delightful films of the 60s is The Party starring Peter Sellers. On DVD all the eye-popping color and comedy of its original wide-screen release is preserved. Presenting the most hilarious ensemble of characters ever to gather under one roof, this side-splitting spoof set around a "stuffy and snobby" Hollywood party never loses pace. We have an accident prone Indian actor played to perfection by Sellers, a distraught hostess, a few struggling starlets, a great jazz combo, then throw in a troupe of Russian dancers and an elephant, and you have a recipe for chaos. The Party is also a fascinating microcosm of the period. This is especially apparent in its use of vibrant color and design, from the avant-garde, "high-tech hazard" of a house where the party takes place, to the union between sets and costumes: For instance, the first meeting between Peter Sellers and Claudine Longet is also a dance between her bright yellow dress, his orange tie and two abstract paintings in the background where these colors dominate. Another highlight is the dinner table scene that rolls along from one amazing disaster to another giving new meaning to "hiring help" and "catering" for such occasions. Interspersed in all this action is an outstanding Henry Mancini score, that features two songs: 'Nothing to Lose', sung by Claudine Longet (also a popular vocalist at the time) who accompanies herself on guitar while serenading a "dishevelled" Sellers in front of the other guests, and the title track sung over the anarchy of the final scenes in the film. 'The Party' is a must for anyone needing a good laugh. Blake Edwards has always been adept at creating wonderful comedy on screen. And here he positively excels, perhaps even surpassing the best of his 'Pink Panther' series. Peter Sellers as Hrundi V. Bakshi has an eccentric and innocent charm. The rest of the cast also make a fantastic contribution, including a very witty parrot. The sound of bird seed crashing in a cage will never be the same after you have been a guest at this crazy, "groovy" feast of fun.
