Non-Hoosier DVD review "Hero at Large"

Charming comedy about heroism also stars Anne Archer, Kevin McCarthy and Bert Convy. 98 min.

Jimmy and Vivica in a Star war

Don't go dissing Star Jones around VIVICA A. FOX. You might get threatened. ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel learned that lesson the hard way Tuesday when the sultry actress vowed to beat him with her shoe over his nasty cracks about the "View" panelist, a close friend of hers

Review: The Party

DENNY MILLER plays a cowboy type actor that becomes friends of the Peter Seller character during a pool game. He is ok as a loud western. The film is a bit slow. Today this would be a Mr. Bean type movie.

The Party [DVD](1968) DVD
Peter Sellers is captured in riotous, Clouseau-esque form as a klutzy Indian movie star who's imported to Hollywood...and manages to systematically trash both his first production and its wrap party!! Gutbuster helmed by Blake Edwards co-stars Claudine Longet, Marge Champion, Gavin MacLeod. 99 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English mono, French mono, Spanish mono; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish; trailer.
