The Party screening (2018-Aug-3 @ 7:30 p.m.)
2018-Aug-03 @ 19:30 - 21:09
The Dryden will screen The Party (Blake Edwards, U.S. 1968, 99 min., 35mm) as part of the Parties series.
Watch out, Hollywood! The great Peter Sellers is Hrundi V. Bakshi, a sweet but desperately clumsy Indian actor who is accidentally invited to a posh soiree at a movie mogul's mansion. Before you can say "Birdie num nums," liquor is flowing, food is flying, and somehow, an elephant and a Russian dance troupe get involved. Collaborators on six Pink Panther films, director Blake Edwards and Sellers have created a character just as memorable: Bakshi is equal parts Clouseau, Monsieur Hulot, and Gunga Din.
