Last week after the Midnight Movie post, I put up the top movies in my NetFlix queue. One of them was one of my all-time favorite movies, The Party starring Peter Sellers. It also stars Claudine “Bang...whoops, sorry about that Spider” Longet. This isn’t one of Peter Sellers best known movies, but I think it’s one of his best. And MAD commenter and pal, Al, chimed in that it was one of his favorite movies too. Well it came in the mail and I saved it for tonight and so that’s the movie tonight. As always it’s presented in the patented MartyVision, utilizing as few stills as possible to present the movie. Lights, camera...beer!
Peter Sellers Quotes
“I feel ghostly unreal until I become somebody else again on the screen.”
“If you ask me to play myself, I will not know what to do. I do not know who or what I am.”
“I'm a classic example of all humorists—only funny when I'm working.”
“Criticism should be done by critics, and a critic should have some training and some love of the medium he is discussing.”
“To label any subject unsuitable for comedy is to admit defeat.”
"Finally, in conclusion, let me say just this."
