Movie Review: How to Disrupt a Party without Loosing Your Calm!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whenever you think of Blake Edwards, Comedy comes to your mind!
Not in vain he has created and directed "The Pink Panther" saga started in 1963, "Victor/Victoria" (1982) and "The Party" (1968), any of them able to cause riots of laughter in the audience.
This movie starts with a little gem. As in Bond's movies an introductory sequence is filmed.
There you will see a Hindustani bugler (with echoes of Gunga Din) receiving first quite a score of bullet hits, then dozens and then more, much more. Nevertheless the "heroic" bugler continue blowing his instrument on and on till... well you'll see it.
As a consequence of these events Mr. Hrundi V. Bakshi is perpetually banned from Hollywood and its surroundings.
Yet Fate (Nasty Fate to be sure) put in his hands an invitation to a Party in film director's home!
So Mr. Bakshi wears his best suit and knocks the door.
Then Mr. Havoc enters the party and jocosity erupts!
Any kind of gag is displayed, you name it you have it!
Peter Sellers gives one of his best performances ever. He displays a mixture of Buster Keaton, Charly Chaplin, the Three Stooges and his own panoply of comic resources.
Best of all: he has a great support from the rest of the cast: starting with the waiter thru the cowboy and the teens.
Claudine Longet is great and sweet; unfortunately the facts in her life barred her from stage (she performed in only four movies and many TV appearances).
This is a great and joyous movie! A final warning: beware of the elephant!

Movie Review: the Party
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I thought my husband was going to fall off the couch laughing!!Movie Review: An Amazing Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a classic. It is so utterly funny and well acted. It's about a well meaning yet hopeless fool who accidently gets onto a movie producers party guest invitation list. It follows the evening from the moment he enters the house to the next morning when everyone is leaving. You have to see this. Peter Sellers was such a funny actor and his timing is imaculate. Go see The Party and you'll laugh your head off. Promise.Movie Review: Peter Sellers At His Best
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is Peter Sellers at his best. While most of it is slapstick, it's still pretty good. There are some gags that seemed to go on forever (like the bathroom sketch) and it does seem a little dated, but overall it is a very funny movie.
Movie Review: The Party - Sellers' Best?
Summary: 5 Stars
A hilarious Peter Sellers classic that causes fits of laughter as soon as it starts. Sellers, a second rate actor whose expertise lies in getting himself in trouble, is accidentally invited to a Hollywood producer's party. The grip of humour never loosens until the end of the devastating lunch scene, after which the movie grows less interesting.
