If you have not seen Peter Sellers yet this is your chance. He stars in this sixties craze flick and he has done it so masterfully that it is funny even today. Rowan Atkinson and his character Mr. Bean is the closest example of the type of humor that you can expect in this movie. Hrundi V. Bakshi is a clumsy actor that spreads mayhem everywhere he goes, from movie sets to parties. He has been accidentally invited to an exclusive party and you can be sure that he will get into a lot of trouble. So you have a lot of gags and situational humor, and that is very hard to keep interesting over time, and you might find a movie a with its ups and downs amusing or not, but during the bathroom scene I literally fell of the couch and could not breathe with laughter(yes I was under the influence, but that is irrelevant :D ). Anyways, check it out, at least for the insight in sixties comedies.

Fun Stuff: This film was improvised from a 56-page outline. Each scene was shot in sequence, and built upon the previous scene. To aid in this experiment, the film’s producers had a video-camera tube attached to the Panavision camera and connected to an Ampex studio videotape machine, allowing the actors and crew to review what they had just filmed.
