The Party. This is what we're watching in our TV cave tonight. It's hysterical.
I love that film. The exchanges between the waiter and Peter Sellers at dinner are absolutely priceless, too. Oh, to be able to watch it for the first time again.
OK, I misremembered that, after looking at the imdb page:
Director: Yes, you. Get off of my set, and out of my picture. Off, off! You're washed up, you're finished! I'll see to it that you never make another movie again!
Hrundi V. Bakshi: Does that include television, sir?
Wow, I don't think that I've seen that movie since the mid-seventies. I vaguely remember a gag involving a fountain and a shoe and that he had a cool little micro-car but that's about it.
My god, that's a great movie. I had a friend recently describe having eaten those (tiny birds, who's name escapes me right now) WITHOUT getting any stuck on her tiara!
I love the whole exchange with the Western star too. And Claudine Longet was sooooo cute! She ended up having a pretty weird life too...
