    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This film was improvised from a 56-page outline. Each scene was shot in sequence and built upon the previous scene. To aid in this experiment, the film's producers had a video-camera tube attached to the Panavision camera and connected to an Ampex studio videotape machine, allowing the actors and crew to review what they had just filmed. According to a contemporary article in Daily Variety this was one of the first productions to use a video camera in this matter. This eliminated the time and expense of developing the film and showing the "rushes" the following day. The cost of this new technology was $1,100 per day, but director Edwards said the system saved the production many times that amount by avoiding costly resets and re-shoots on following days.

      [last lines]

      Michelle Monet: Oh, here's your hat.

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: Oh, look... you keep it.

      Michelle Monet: But you may need it.

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: No, I'd like you to keep it.

      Michelle Monet: All right. If you think that you should want it or need it sometimes...

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: Well, if I need it... I could always come, perhaps, and pick it up.

      Michelle Monet: That would be very nice.

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: When would you be available for me to pick up my hat?

      Michelle Monet: Well...

      [laughs shyly]

      Michelle Monet: maybe next week.

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: I'll come and get it then.

      Michelle Monet: OK.

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: For I'd love to have my hat back.

      Michelle Monet: Goodbye.

      Hrundi V. Bakshi: Bye bye.

    Peter Sellers is so funny it hurts!!
    Finally, after months of searching, I find a copy of the DVD and I realize how truly worthwhile this search was! This film is hysterical! I've read that The Great Race is supposed to be Blake Edwards' tribute to Laurel & Hardy, but Hrundi V. Bakshi is Stan Laurel's hindustani soul mate. Probably Peter Sellers' single funniest performance ever! He's always well meaning and gracious, but just naive enough to cause chaos everywhere he goes. Much of the business about the wait staff is also straight out of the L&H book of comic situations. Though the ending involving a baby elephant looks to me as if they simply ran out of ideas, the rest of this movie more than makes up for it. Have another "Birdy Num Num".
