Very humorous film about a clumsy actor from India who is accidentally invited to a party where he immediately begins to wreak havoc.
Blake Edwards (in much better form than he has been recently) sets the tempo well and after a slow first fifteen minutes, he keeps things moving well, while wisely leaving the bulk of the work to Peter Sellers, who easily steals the show with his riotous portrayal of Hrundi V. Bakshi, the misfit Indian. Phrases such as 'Birdie NumNums' and 'Howdy Pardner' will alone be enough to set you roaring with laughter. And a subplot involving a waiter who drinks everything he should be serving will keep you entertained meanwhile.
Still loads of fun twenty-five years on.
