ln one of their few non-CIouseau efforts, Blake Edwards and Peter SeIIers preserve the spirit of the French bumbler in the person of Hrundi V. Bakshi, an accident-prone lndian actor. Brought to HoIlywood to play the title roIe in Son Of Gunga Din, Bakshi destroys the film's most eIaborate set with his bungling and is banned from the set by Edward Clutterbuck (J. Edward McKinley), the film's producer. But because of an error by the producer's secretary, Bakshi's name is added to the guest list of his next party, an A-list affair. ShortIy after arriving, Bakshi begins accidentally dismantling CIutterbuck's carefuIIy staged event, destroying a flower bed, knocking a servant through a bay window, and triggering the Iawn sprinkIers, soaking the producer's pretentious guests. When the producer's daughter, MoIly (Kathe Green), and a group of her friends arrive with a Day-GIo-painted eIephant, Baskhi is shocked by the sacrilege and insists on washing the pachyderm in one of the house's indoor pools. As the other guests begin to join in the fun, pandemonium erupts. SelIers is typicaIly brilIiant in a film abounding in sidesplitting sight gags with a script by Edwards, Frank Waldman (The Pink Panther Strikes Again) and his his brother Tom Waldman (lnspector CIouseau). |
