Don's Party Movie Review 1976

A rather dark comedy focusing on Australian Yuppie-types who decide to watch the election results on TV as a group. A lot more goes on at this party, however, than talk of the returns. Sexual themes surface. Cast members turn fine performances, aided by top-notch script and direction.
