Don's Party (1976): An early disco-era film, swinger Don throws a party hoping to score with a beautiful woman he has his eye on. Naturally it all goes horribly wrong: the woman turns up with a nasty boyfriend, his friends get drunk and raucous and Don suffers a series of embarrassing mishaps. In the aftermath of the party he realises that the plain and sensible woman he's been avoiding the whole film is the one he really belongs with. |

Don's Party (1976): In the wake of the first two installments of Coppola's Godfather trilogy, this psycho-social commentary juxtaposes the play of thirteen-somethings at a birthday party with the social jesting of their mobster parents elsewhere on the estate. The filmmakers' ostensible purpose of demonstrating that parental morals are mirrored by their children--a point most viewers would accept prima facie--would be less tedious were it not for the contrived dialogue, editing style, and the writer's decision to name both the birthday boy and the head of the family "Don." |

Don's Party (1976): Idiosyncratic film made by Scotch-taping little pieces of frozen shampoo together in strict alphabetical order (alphabetical by shampoo brand, that is) and running it through a projector. Medicated shampoos appear separately at the end. This movie tends to melt in the projector and ruin the projection-room carpet, but this is otherwise a good film for general audiences to challenge to backgammon tournaments and throw Chiclets at. |
