The World of Henry Orient (1964) Reviews

Member Rating:

Decked out with another of his American accents, Peter Sellers plays self-centered concert pianist Henry Orient. While Henry's active libido sends him off on pursuit of married woman Paula Prentiss, a pair of preteen boarding-school chums, played by Tippy Walker and Merrie Spaeth, worship Orient from afar. The girls' overworked imaginations, manifested in pursuing Orient about and recording their fantasies in their diaries, leads Walker's mom, Angela Lansbury, to conclude that Henry has "had his way" with her underaged daughter. The World of Henry Orient was later musicalized for Broadway as Henry, Sweet Henry. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Peter Sellers is merely a secondary prop character in this movie. The REAL stars are Spaeth and Walker, two Patty Duke...esk teenage girls who steal the show. This is a cute coming of age story set in an innocent, very early 60's Manhattan. Our dynamic duo first observe, pursue and eventually outgrow a poor man's lothario. One of the first gal pal films...see it with your daughters.
