Though this film is a relatively minor one in the massive canon of Peter Sellers, it has moments of absolute hilarity. Written and directed by Blake Edwards, one of Sellers's most fertile collaborators, the film stars Sellers as a would-be actor from India (let them try to get away with that today) who is a walking disaster area. After ruining a day's shooting as an extra on a film, he finds himself unintentionally invited to a big Hollywood party. That's pretty much it as far as plot goes, but Edwards and Sellers know how to milk a simple idea for an unending string of slapstick gags. The result is a film that is episodic and sketchy, but also frequently loony in an inspired way. <I>--Marshall Fine</I>
Viewer Reviews Get the popcorn, sit on your favorite sofa and get ready to laugh from begining to end. Peter Seller's best movie. If you like the Pink Panther series, you ain't seen nothing yet. Peter Selles is a comedic genious and will be greatly missed in Hollywood.
