I am a huge Peter Sellers Fan & this movie always makes me smile, laugh till my tummy hurts and go "Awwwww" several times.
The indian film extra Hrundi V. Bakshi makes it to an exclusive Hollywood party he wasn't supposed to be attending at all. And naturally he's a bit lost there but he stands his ground. What ensues is: deconstructing dinner, diving wholeheartly in any possible embarrasing situation or encounter while being so adorably awkward & glancing with big, wet puppy eyes at charmingly chanting french actresses. Not to mention the possibly first foam party and paited elephants.
After starting out at a ponderous pace this movie is outdoing itself in hilariousness till the end, or well, near the end, then it fades out in a post-Party-new-day happy haze. This movie clearly celebrates the comical genius Mr Sellers is, some scenes have a very detailed & delicious buildup, I understand that is what some might consider making the movie "slow" in parts. To me it is unadulterated fun & airs the virtues of another era of filmmaking.
I highly recommend you find out for yourself where you stand if you don't know this gem already.
The following clip is taken from the beginning of the movie, when desperate cleaning attempts result in shoe-loss, but it alraedy gives you a good impression of the style and humour of the movie:)
And the origin of the infamous "Birdie Num Num" quote:
Love it:D
