Customer Reviews of The Party
Laugh riot I loved Peter Sellers. Besides the classic Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther films....he stars in some of my all time fave movies...including Dr. Strangelove and Being There! THE PARTY is one long sustained ad-lib of a movie. And Sellers is at his comedic best. You may remember Steve Franken from his Dobie Gillis days on TV....he also scores his most memorable performance as a over-the-top tipsy Waiter, who serves drinks to THE PARTY'S guests in a one for you - one for me style. He's a joy to watch. But just view Sellers in this movie and try to come away from it without uttering Birdie Num Num over and over. And keep an eye out for one of my favorite toys as a kid. The famous Whammo Air Blaster! When Sellers passed away in 1980...it was a great loss to the film world. Thank God he is forever preserved in movies such as THE PARTY!!!
"Birdie Num Num"
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!
Simply put...The best of Peter Sellers
The first time I saw this movie I was already a Sellers fan. What I liked most was that Sellers talent did not go to waste on meaningless chatter....just 100% PURE Sellers at his best! I purchased the movie at the same time I bought my first DVD player! Better than all of the Pink Panther movies!
