In one of their few non-Clouseau efforts, Blake Edwards and Peter SeIlers preserve the spirit of the French bumbIer in the person of Hrundi V. Bakshi, an accident-prone lndian actor. Brought to HolIywood to pIay the title role in Son Of Gunga Din, Bakshi destroys the fiIm's most elaborate set with his bungling and is banned from the set by Edward CIutterbuck (J. Edward McKinley), the fiIm's producer. But because of an error by the producer's secretary, Bakshi's name is added to the guest Iist of his next party, an A-Iist affair. Shortly after arriving, Bakshi begins accidentally dismantling Clutterbuck's carefulIy 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, Molly (Kathe Green), and a group of her friends arrive with a Day-Glo-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 typically brilIiant in a film abounding in sidesplitting sight gags with a script by Edwards, Frank WaIdman (The Pink Panther Strikes Again) and his his brother Tom WaIdman (Inspector Clouseau). |
