The Party Blu-ray

IMDB - 7.6 ( 25,549 users )

Rotten Tomatoes - 82% ( 17 reviews counted )

Quote:

In one of their few non-Clouseau efforts, Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers preserve the spirit of the French bumbler in the person of Hrundi V. Bakshi, an accident-prone Indian actor. Brought to Hollywood to play the title role in Son Of Gunga Din, Bakshi destroys the film's most elaborate set with his bungling and is banned from the set by Edward Clutterbuck (J. Edward McKinley), the film's producer. But because of an error by the producer's secretary, Bakshi's name is added to the guest list of his next party, an A-list affair. Shortly after arriving, Bakshi begins accidentally dismantling Clutterbuck's carefully staged event, destroying a flower bed, knocking a servant through a bay window, and triggering the lawn sprinklers, soaking the producer's pretentious guests. When the producer's daughter, Molly (Kathe Green), and a group of her friends arrive with a Day-Glo-painted elephant, Baskhi is shocked by the sacrilege and insists on washing the pachyderm in one of the house's indoor pools. As the other guests begin to join in the fun, pandemonium erupts. Sellers is typically brilliant in a film abounding in sidesplitting sight gags.

Hell yes!!

Great news! Always loved this one, but I had low hopes of it ever making it to hidef.

Very nice. I haven't seen this one in several years. Should be great on blu-ray.

Absolutely. One of his very finest along with the PP series, Being There and Dr. Strangelove. I'm pumped for this announcement.

Me too. My fave Sellers film, alongside 'The Pink Panther Strikes Again'. The guy was a comic genius!

chidecki · 06-04-2014, 07:53 PM

My all time favorite Peter Sellers movie and I'm so happy to see this coming out on BD!

Akijama · 07-11-2014, 05:48 PM

I LOVE this movie, and am so glad it's finally coming out on Blu-ray. I wish it wasn't priced so high though, so I could justify upgrading my DVD. Hope it drops to around $15, then I'll bite.

Chiefy · 07-27-2014, 04:37 PM

I rarely do preorders anymore, seeing how in just a few months, or even a few mere weeks the price drastically drops. I see that Amazon has this up for $17.49 now. Is this pretty much the low for Kino releases? Thanks.

Birdy num-num!

Anyone know the likelihood of this being Region Free..?

All their titles are Region-A locked, I'm afraid.

FYI, MGM have just released this in Europe, with more extras, a better encoding and subtitles.
