I expected a lot more from this film. It started off very well; the scenes when the timid bumbling Indian actor (played by the awesome Peter Sellers) makes blunder after blunder to accidentally ruin a movie production was hilarious. And when he gets invited by mistake to a fancy party by the producer of the film, the scenes where he approaches different gets, gets into trouble almost every step ... read more

View all The Party reviews

An Indian actor screws up royally during the filming of a costume epic. When the 'Fire this guy' list gets confused with the studio head's guest list for a party, he appears there and everyone assumes he must belong. A great many sight gags and misunderstanding gags are played out at the party where the rest of the film takes place.

" First Viewing Viewing Date: January 6th Via: Amazon Prime Video (MGM Channel) Plot: A clerical mistake results in a bumbling Indian film star being invited to an exclusive Hollywood party instead of being fired and blacklisted. Rating: 7.7/10 Why Did I Watch It? This is a classic comedy that I've always been meaning to watch. When I saw it was on the MGM Channel, I jumped on it."

"Pahuksenmoiset pirskeet. Peter Sellers näyttelee aloittelevaa intialaista näyttelijää Hrundi V. Bakshia, joka on kahdella jalalla kulkeva katastrofi. Jostain syystä tämä kutsutaan tuottajan järjestämiin juhliin, vaikka hemmo on jo ehtinyt posauttamaan elokuvan linnakulissit taivaan tuuliin. Kaikki menee tietenkin mullin mallin ja nurin niskoin. Leffa on yhtä loputonta väärinkäsitysten ja hullujen sattumien jonoa. Sellers loihtii komiikkansa pienin elein, naurettavien hymyjen ja ster"
