The Party pt.10

Peter Sellers at his funniest
The Party 1968 Trivia * Due to the random nature of each take, a video tape recorder was attached to the film camera, to allow the director to review each take. This technique is often thought to have been first used by Jerry Lewis in his 1960 film The Bellboy.[citation needed] * It is rumoured that a remake is in the works, with Sacha Baron Cohen set to star as the role of Hrundi.[dubious -- discuss] * The French turntablism crew Birdy Nam Nam took its name from a line of the movie, as did the nightclub Birdee Num Num in Brisbane, Australia[1]. * "Nothing to lose" was covered by French electronica artist *Dimitri from Paris* on his album "Sacre Bleu" * This was said to be Elvis Presley's favorite movie.[citation needed] * The Morgan three-wheeler which Hrundi V Bakshi is driving is reminiscent of Monsieur Hulot's cyclecar in Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, while the whole film storyline is reminiscent of the Royal Garden restaurant sequence of Playtime, both films by Jacques Tati.[original research?] * Acclaimed Bengali Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray was at one time set to make his American feature debut with Sellers in the lead role for his fantasy film, The Alien. When Ray saw The Party, he was so disgusted by Seller's performance and the film, he refused to meet Sellers again.
