Summary: very funny. old but very funny
Review: I think, this is one of the greatest movies of Peter Sellers EVER! I think I saw this picture more than 30 times. One of the most lovely things of his humor is that he do not need to be vulgar or offend other people to make a great humor film. Is just Peter's performance and all the chain of funny situations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Old movie but still hilarious today (The Party)
Review: January 22, 2003

This is one of the funniest movies, that Peter Sellers ever made, I saw it in the late sixties, and then they wouldn't show it for several years, then they finally they started showing it on t.v., but unfortunately not very often. I've just found it on Amazon, and I just have to buy it. If you've never seen it and like Peter Sellers, you just have to find a copy and watch it, but be prepared to die laughing. I don't know how one person could be so funny! But he was amazing at it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Roll on the floor hysteria !
Review: Peter Sellers was at his best when playing zany dim wits capable of wreaking mass havoc through the subtlest acts of clumsiness... obviously the charactor that best comes to mind being Inspector Clouseau of the Pink Panther series... however, when it comes to zany 1960's madball off the wall slapstick films, THE PARTY has to top the list... and even moreso, what director other than Blake Edwards has that zany ability to turn acts of utter stupidity into such a high artform ? Most interesting is how one routine after another is painstakingly set up, and like a great solo builds from nothingness to utter madness... Perhaps only one other comedian in the history of cinema could have ever rivaled Sellers in such a part... the great Harold Lloyd... but it is doubtful that Lloyd even in his talking days could have taken an utterance such as "Birdie Num Num" and made it so funny... As for the scene at the dinner table, and his quest for a bathroom... there are no words to describe it... This film is one of the great comedy masterpieces of the 20th century, in terms of acting, directing and everything else ! ! ! As further note, as a Jazz musician, the presence of the groovy Jazz combo as well as the Henry Mancini numbers were well worth the view !

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Funny except for the end.
Review: A very loose film based on Peter Sellers playing an Indian man wandering around a party causing havok. I love Peter Sellers, but if you don't like him or don't like his slapstick comedy steer clear. The Indian stereotypes are quite crude and could probably be considered offensive to some. I don't think that this film could be made today. I thought that this film was funny, but I can see how some people would think this is irritating (my sister is one).
This film is good until about three quarters in when it just gets silly and it sort of tails off. It's unfortunate. I liked it until then. It has no real plot as such - it's basically Sellers wandering around the party. Not many other people could sustain a whole film with this, but he does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Silly comedy and nonstop laughter!
Review: This is no ordinary party, this is THE party. The glitzy glamourous, amourous, Hollywood party...want to give it another thought? Peter Sellers is Hrundi Bakshi, a struggling Indian actor, who after accidentally blowing up a set for an on-location film, the producers vow he'll never work in another film. When his name is taken down, he is accidentally put on the party invitation list. After arriving at the party, Bakshi is a demolition derby. He does all types of crazy, zany, unbelievable, and unimaginable things! If you've seen any of The Pink Panther films, this is like all of those films rolled into one. Plus, it's directed by the director of that series, Blake Edwards. You know in you're in for quite a treat. I love it when the whole house is flooded in huge soap bubbles and suds when the party is crashed and a painted elephant is being washed. This is one hysterical, crazy, out-of-this-world, silly, and hilarious party! Peter Sellers is the master of comedy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: This is one of the most hilarious films ever made. It is brilliant, and so is Peter Sellars. Anyone with an appreciation for the absurd, or slapstick, will be in stitches over this film. It is wonderful!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Funny, ifr you like slapstick humor
Review: Not that I'm a Peter Sellers fan, nooo no, its just that if I want to laugh instantly, I throw this dvd in, and crack up. Truly, this must be one of the funniest movies ever made, from the near perfect hindu accent that he puts on, to following the craziness that takes place. Highly recommend it.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: very pleased with my purchase from amazon.com
Review: this was the first purchase i have made and i have been more than pleased with the simplicity of ordering, the quality of my purchase and it was delivered on time and in perfect condition. also the follow up emails were helpful telling me when to expect my purchase. Also it is much cheaper then shopping in my own country, by far. it seems a shame to send my hard earned wages out of the country but if australia can't compete, bad luck.
also the service was far better, the service in this country leaves a lot to be desired. i will be buying more products in the future. thank you
