The movie is “The Party” starring Peter Sellars as an extra in a originally blacklisted for ruining a battle scene (hilarious opening scene in and of itself) who ends up in a select list for a Hollywood power party.
The drunk waiter was my favorite character.
A French beauty- Claudine Longet was in it. She later became famous for shooting her boyfriend american skier.
Tom Tryman: He caught an edge there, but he seems to be okay, he’s in good shape.. actually, I think he’s a little.. [ a shot rings out, as Helmut falls into the snow ]
Uh-oh! He seems to have been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet! Yes.. and I’m afraid Helmut Kindle is out of this race!
Yup, you know the movie. The waiter played Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. on the Dobie Gillis Show.
