Cinematheque: The 60s in Scope

Watch out Hollywood! Master mimic and comedian Sellers is Hrundi V. Bakshi, a sweet but desperately clumsy Indian actor who is accidentally invited to a posh soiree at a movie mogul’s mansion. Before you can say “Birdie num-nums”, liquor is flowing, food is flying and somehow an elephant and a Russian dance troupe get involved. Collaborators on six Inspector Clouseau films, director Edwards and Sellers have created a character just as memorable.
