Though this film is a relatively minor one in the massive canon of Peter Sellers, it has moments of absolute hilarity. Written and directed by Blake Edwards, one of Sellers's most fertile collaborators, the film stars Sellers as a would-be actor from India (let them try to get away with that today) who is a walking disaster area. After ruining a day's shooting as an extra on a film, he finds himself unintentionally invited to a big Hollywood party. That's pretty much it as far as plot goes, but Edwards and Sellers know how to milk a simple idea for an unending string of slapstick gags. The result is a film that is episodic and sketchy, but also frequently loony in an inspired way. --Marshall Fine

 Classic Sellars January 7, 2009
This film is a must for any Peter Sellars fan. The film is a time capsule straight from the late 60's filled with many establishment vs. hippie/ hipster cliches. Sellars brilliantly under plays the character of a bumbling "bollywood" star thrust into an A list Hollywood party. The set is amazing which is good because 90% of the film takes place in the Hollywood Hills mansion witch is probably the coolest 1960's pad you will ever see. I highly recommend The Party
 It is a 60's Classic. It is a must buy and enjoy The Party! December 23, 2008
This movie is a classic comedy of the 60's. It is very subtle. It is a funny fine portrait of the 60's Hollywood life style with a hint of 60's movie's industry by characterization. But pay attention to details: his Indian accent, the red socks and white shoes, the jazz band that never stops when house is soaped, the `General' that gives up the whole thing by saying "Save the paintings!(not this one you idiot, just the good stuff!)" and many, many others. "The Russians are coming...."? Are you kidding me? Hahaha! "Go naked over his bum..."? Hahaha
And at the end, he's has to go? He's got to feed APU?!! Come on.....
A must buy.
Classic Peter Sellers October 30, 2008
Get the popcorn, sit on your favorite sofa and get ready to laugh from begining to end. Peter Seller's best movie. If you like the Pink Panther series, you ain't seen nothing yet. Peter Selles is a comedic genious and will be greatly missed in Hollywood.
The Party October 8, 2008
I've always enjoyed watching Peter Sellers movies over the years. Somehow I'd completely missed ever seeing "The Party" until I caught the last half on a television channel. The visual jokes soon had me laughing out loud. So I had to order a DVD to see all of it. It did not let me down. Guaranteed to lift you out of your doldrums.
Full of laughs October 6, 2008
This movie is a classic and very entertaining. Peter Sellers at what he did best in the world of comedy!!
