Overview

Voted in the National Board of Review Awards as a top ten film of the year (1964), this comedy tells of a couple of teens who are head-over-heels for a self-centered concert pianist. Peter Sellers plays the titular character, a man who continually pursues amorous adventures with married women. Meanwhile, best pals Valeri (Tippy Walker) and Marian (Merrie Spaeth) are driven by a common crush on the eccentric Orient to become his groupies. Seeming to continually disrupt the pianist's plans, their timing and infatuation provide for ideal comedic situations--particularly with an oddball character such as Orient. Angela Lansbury shows up as Valeri's mother, who gets involved with Orient, regardless of her marriage (hubby played by Tom Bosley), and Paula Prentiss makes an appearance as another of Orient's objects of affection. Directed by George Roy Hill (Butch Casssidy and the Sundance Kid, The World According to Garp), The World of Henry Orient was adapted to the screen by Nora and Nunnally Johnson from Nora's novel. Prolific composer Elmer Bernstein contributed the score.
