Peter Sellers plays an accident-prone Indian actor, Hrundi V. Bakshi, at large in Hollywood where he ruins a big-budget movie and is thrown off the set by the producer. However, the producer then, by accident, invites Bakshi to a Hollywood party where he manages to cause havoc once again; but this time with party guests such as a drunken starlet, a foreign princess and a model. The legendary Blake Edwards (A Shot in the Dark, Breakfast at Tiffany’s) orchestrates a series of tributes to silent comedy, Jacques Tati and the poetry of chaos.

Includes 24 minute featurette ‘Inside the Party.’
