Seen for the first time last night. After 90 minutes, my jaws were hurting not because I laughed out loud during the whole movie, no, simply because I SMILED during the whole film and, believe me or not, that's physically speaking unnatural. Highly recommended.

    It's pretty amazing how this movie doesn't get criticized more for the brownface thing. In fact I don't think I remember even one incident where that was the complaint. It's a mystery how it remains so beloved.

    besides that, it's not even funny (to me at least)

    yeah it's interesting, because a lot of fairly intelligent people give him a pass saying "We did not mind because he spoke the language and something about him was okay in the way that it was okay for Peter Sellers to do it in The Party7. It was affectionate. Peter Sellers loved India and Michael Bates loved India, he spoke Hindi and I think you can just tell. The blacking-up does not become a prop; it’s not part of the joke, it’s just something they have to do because they happen to be the best actors to play the part. When the blacking-up is a prop, and made to look like a joke, like in Curry and Chips for instance, then yes, I object to it, though I love Spike Milligan8. But it is silly blacking-up really."

I love movies that do not have a plot. This is why I love this one despite the unnecessary gags that have been used only to fill the 99 min, only few times they worked well. The two lonely characters and the drunk waiter had more to follow than what we have seen. And this is the only thing that remains after the movie ends. Gags evaporate.

Yes, I have a love/hate relationship with this one. Not remotely offensive as Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's, but it comes close, which undercuts Peter Sellers performance.

Well Edwards was able to create possibly the greatest party scene of all time in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"....so hopefully this will be good.

The pacing is almost existential. A fine portrayal of empathy winning over akwardness.

This movie has so much sixties style. It's very funny, at times. Sometimes it drags. But I really love to watch it. It makes me feel warm and happy. I totally fall in love with Claudine Longet every time I see it
