So this film was a distant memory from the 1990s. You would see Party Party! advertised in the back, of Loaded magazine, along with Quadrophenia or Adventures of a Taxi Driver
My opinion of Party Party is it a fine piece of young fun, indeed the film comes across as rather innocent.
One of the characters is a church organist. There is talk of Youth clubs, Lemonade and Table Tennis. A flash motor could be bought for 250 pounds. It seems to have been filmed in Harlesden, Wembley, maybe Kingsbury that part of old London Town. Areas which have gone through quite the demographic change.
I did wonder if the police officers we see in this film are cadets.
Oh, and I just realised I don't think there is any drug use.
Some friends in the early 1980s hold a New Years Eve party. Hearts are broken, kisses are stolen, cherries are lost, beers are drunk, scores settled.
I did enjoy the 80s soundtrack
Some thoughts
Did Karl Howman ever look young. He seems to have been born in his late 20s
Daniel Peacock- plays the idiot a bit too much. I did wonder if this hurt his career, or he got typecast. Did he ever play it straight
Caroline Quentin proves my point, about her being the sexier one in Men Behaving Badly, she is a teenager full of the flush of hormones
We see a departed Old Friend in the Late Great Gary Olsen
Clive Mantle playing a villian, Nick Berry has a brief cameo and Perry
All early 80s life is here. Skinheads, Goths, and New Romantics
As I said a fine bit of fun. I am glad I saw it, a nice way to spend a friday night
