The Party (1969) Extras Features DVD

Brought to Hollywood from his native India to add authenticity to a period piece filming for General Federal Studios, actor Hrundi V. Bakshi is the singular cause for one delay after another culminating with one explosive incident which ruins the picture. As such, his Hollywood career is over before it even begins. Even with the movie's Producer C.S. Divot getting word to studio chief General Fred Clutterbuck of him ruining the picture, Hrundi is inadvertently placed on the invitation list for the General and his wife Alice Clutterbuck's black tie dinner party. With neither of the hosts knowing who he is but they just assuming he is a true invited guest, Hrundi circulates among the party's other guests wreaking havoc at every turn, in part aided unwittingly by others in attendance, including the increasingly inebriated bar waiter, and aspiring actress Michele Monet, Divot's date who is unaware that this unofficial audition for Clutterbuck is planned to include a casting couch audition with Divot himself. If Hrundi is true to form, he may end up doing to the Clutterbuck house before night's end what he did to the movie set, namely inadvertently blow it up.
