# The Party (1968)

1968 · 94 min · Comedy · United States


## Synopsis

The Party is a 1968 American comedy film, produced, co-written and directed by Blake Edwards. Based on a fish-out-of-water premise, it stars Peter Sellers as Hrundi V. Bakshi, a bungling actor from India, who accidentally gets invited to a lavish Hollywood dinner party. The film is a farce with a very loose structure; it essentially serves as a series of set pieces for Sellers's improvisational comedy talents.
