Cinematic Inspiration: Blake Edwards' "The Party"
Wed, 5 8, 09: 15.5 PM
I really wish I had been around in the 60s as my personal style is so highly influenced by that decade -- the clothes, the interior design, even the hair and make-up!
I came across some stills from "The Party" starring Peter Sellers today and immediately fell in love with the house it was filmed in. The premise is that a bumbling Indian actor (Sellers) makes a huge mistake during the filming of a costume epic. When the 'Fire this guy' list gets confused with the studio head's guest list for a party, he appears there and everyone assumes he must belong. What follows is vintage Sellers physical comedy, but in my opinion the interior design of the house steals the show!
The first video is a compilation of some of the funniest moments in the movie -- it is a little on the long side, but I highly recommend you give it a go -- you get a full tour of the house and a lot of laughs!
