Peter Sellers The Party [Region 2]

I used to watch this movie with my mother when I was young I ordered it so it wouldhere on time for my birthday. Much to my dismay it might as well be a coaster because it won't play in my DVD player. This is the United States if you going to sell DVDs they should play in our DVD players if not get the f*** out and show your s*** to your own third world countries.

I saw this movie first long ago with my brother. Now that my grandchildren are teenagers, I thought they would enjoy watching one of my favorite actors, Peter Sellers, outside of his well-known character in the "Pink Panther". We invited a few of their young friends and played "The Party", now in dvd. They laughed so hard, we actually dedicated a weekend to watching other Peter Sellers' movies. This Blake Edwards movie is hilarious! They couldn't have found a better actor to play the part of the not-supposed-to-be-there guest.

Like the movie, it's really good, however there was some kind of reason it wouldn't play on anything , I owned. Must be that region thing, so I fixed it. It suremade the shredder dance when it put it through. Yep, Shred 'em for Maximum Effeiency!!

very disappointed bought as a gift will not play on USA DVD players not a region 1 movie you had info sent to me to return the movie for credit the problem is to send it back to them UNITED KINGDOM it costs $12.58 I already bought a mailing envelope for $1.69 & paid $2.68 to have it mailed back from California as it was a gift for my sister in-law that is more than the movie & shipping cost in the first place so I am stuck with something I cannot use please help me out ????? they should have never sent the movie to me in the first place Thanks Diane Schuler

Love this movie. Got it in good time.

Extremely funny movie

I saw this movie on TV a few weeks before I ordered it from Amazon. Of you are a Pink Panther fan, this movie is for you. Peter Sellers @ his best!! Instead of bungling thru a murderInvestigation he is scene trying to fit in as an uninvited guest @ a swanky Hollywood party. A must see...

I am a huge fan of Inspector Clouseau but here Sellers takes on a different character and I laughed out loud through most of it. Admittedly, the ending is a little weak and drawn out but most of the movie is excellent and loads of fun!

I am almost certain that back in 1968 this movie was considered very funny if not hilarious. It is very much in line with the spirit of the late 60s, both in cinema and TV comedy terms. It’s a slapstick comedy movie where Peter Sellers excels in the role, with some laughter inducing pranks, but only in the first 30-35 minutes before he runs out of steam as the scenario degrades rapidly and becomes considerably ad-hoc. One can also see it as an endorsement of Blake Edwards’s trade mark style for his future movies. Move the clock forward to 2019, when I first watched the movie, and it would seem reasonable for the movie to be described as politically incorrect, tad offensive and questionably amusing. But, ...that’s over half a century after the film was made!

I love Peter Sellers, especially when he's on top form and here, he is most definitely. So much so, feeling a little poorly I stuck the DVD in the player as soon as it arrived. Normally, DVDs can take days/weeks, even months before I get round to seeing them.I had seen this on TV many years before and after purchasing the Pink Panther complete set online, I added 'The Party'. Why not, I thought.The gags are both visual and spoken, expected and unexpected. When you expect the expected, the unexpected actually happens, no doubt helped by seasoned Sellers director, Blake Edwards.Many have written reviews going into those gags in detail and the validity of an English comic actor playing an Indian but all that takes up valuable laughing time. So, watch it, laugh and soak up the crazy late swinging '60s fashions and furnishings. Watch out too, for the tiddly waiter who says almost nothing but is almost as funny as Sellers.The 2 disc Special Edition has a short colour accompanying booklet which is fun and on the bonus disc, it is listed as having 'The Party Revolution:"A New Technology" featurette (whatever that might be!), a documentary and several profiles, original trailer and some extra Sellers interviews and clips. Subtitles for the main film are in 12 of the most common European languages.If you enjoy Clouseau (and who does not?) then this a must and should be on prescription (the DVD is currently about half the cost of an item on prescription - and gets to work straight away!)

Thoroughly enjoyable 1960s comedy, directed by Blake Edwards, where Peter Sellers plays an accident-prone extra who is inadvertantly invited to a Hollywood party at a movie mogul’s hi-tech house.This particular edition has plenty of features on a bonus disc: archive interviews with Sellers; plus a fascinating insight into the making of this largely-improvised film that first used video playback technology on set.

Sellers at his best is great entertainment but this time it didn't seem to work for me, perhaps partly because I dislike that kind of party, and because his character seemed pathetic, also the sixties clothing and hair - oh dear! It evoked some chuckles here and there.

There is only one possible way to describe this movie and that is hahahahahahahahahaha and more hahahahaha. Peter Sellers at his funniest. That man had the ability to make a stone statue laugh. I first saw this movie a long time ago, yet it still has the ability to have you rolling on the floor in laughter. If you like Peter Sellers, then you just have to buy this movie. Watch it again and again, you will never stop laughing at his antics.
