Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

nballos I watched this film when I was 10 yrs old, now I am 40 and I still love it. Peter Sellers unfolds all his great talent on this film. It is a classic comedy, that is perfect to watch together with your kids.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues Since the first time in 1986 when l watched this comedy l was disappointed by the end....so l saw one more time on cable TV trying to see something more around 1998...nevetherless my opinion wasn't change....yesterday l pick the DVD after twenty years to has the final opinion about this famous movie....The first half part is really good with some odds situations that are worth of note,which including the bathroom's scene,but the ending when all house is turns a total mess spoil the movie,more,Blake Edwards isn't to any taste after all...so this movie is quite clear overrated to me...this kind of comedy didn't make my head.Resume: First watch: 1986 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 6.5

SnoopyStyle In a Gunga Din-like movie, bumbling east Indian actor Hrundi V. Bakshi (Peter Sellers) keeps screwing up and the director throws him out. A clerical error at the studio gets Bakshi invited to an exclusive party hosted by the wealthy Clutterbuck family. It's a night of chaos instigated by Bakshi.There is something off-putting about brown-face. It's another time when it was acceptable. It still bothers me nevertheless. There is undeniably some fun slapstick that Sellers gets into. At least, he's not the bad guy. He's the clown who annoys every character in the movie and suppose to warm the audience's heart. It's the only non-Pink Panther collaboration between Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers. For today's audience, it would work a lot better without the brown-face.

FilmCriticLalitRao American comedy film 'The Party' saw an English actor's complete transformation both as an actor as well as a character.For making a white skinned actor look like a brown skinned person, one should praise the never ending efforts of the makeup team which made British actor Peter Sellers look like a complete Indian from India. He appeared so convincing as a junior artist from India as not only he had the looks of an Indian but also behaved like a true Indian. The scathing criticism of a high society's party has been handled in a very organized manner. In many ways, 'The Party' indicts class differences which are responsible for creating unnecessary distances between human beings. This film was also able to present nothingness in all forms as nothing much was happening in the party as everybody was busy with their own activities. It was able to expose a lot of human weaknesses namely gluttony and lust. The party was able to create a long lasting impression in the minds of audiences as its lead character is unique in all possible circumstances as not only he wrecks havoc but also uses a different means of transport.
