The Party - Peter Sellers

Posted: Apr 25, 2007 | Comments: 1 | Views: 618 | Bookmark and Share

How many of you have seen the movie 'Pink Panther' or 'Dr Strangelove' ? Not many, in the younger age group, i suspect. I myself have seen it up teen times. Peter Sellers was a funny character in most or not all of his films. In the modern day, he would have been like another Jimmy Carey, i suppose. He started out with a few British comedies before going into the Big Screen in Hollywood. Peter Sellers died of a heart attack back in 1980.

One movie that really stood out from his acting career in my records would be, The Party. Directed by the famous Blake Edwards. Made in 1968, this movie evolves around a series of gags and comical routines that unfold within the confines of a swanky Hollywood Studio Chief's house party. I remember Peter Sellers playing the role of Hrundi V. Bakshi, a polite Indian actor who finds himself accidentally being invited to the producer's house party. Why an Indian actor you ask? I have no idea myself. This guy literally only gets three steps from the front door, before things start going wrong for him.

The Bumbling Hrundi, is a likeable and a sympathetic fellow, such an earnest fellow he is that the last thing on his mind would be to create havoc at this party. But not long after, you will know that all too well, not only is he going to get into difficulties despite his good intentions but those same good intentions will get him into the most absurd and amusing situations and this doesn't stop right till the end. Adding the laughter together with him, watch out for the hilariously drunken Butler (played by Steve Franken). Similarly, the slapstick escalates gradually by having characters repeatedly falling pratfall into the swimming pool, a brightly painted elephant joining the guests' list and a sea of soap bubbles.

I think this film is not just for Sellers fans, but will cater nicely for even the new audiences of all ages. I highly recommend you to

get this movie and put it into your collection.

Final word, "Hysterically Funny".

    It's not Shaun of the Dead and it's not Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, but to say it's a less funny and equally gory amalgam of the two wouldn't be too far off. Zombieland starts off well, slows toward the middle and ends with an outright bang, which is sure to have audiences walking away more than satisfied and recommending this film to plenty of others.
