Everything about The Wedding Party Film totally explained
The Wedding Party is a 1969
American farcical comedy film.
Its simple plot focuses on a soon-to-be groom and his interactions with various relatives of his fiancée and members of the wedding party prior to the ceremony on the family's estate on
Shelter Island.
The
independent film was a joint effort by
Sarah Lawrence theatre professor
Wilford Leach and two of his students,
protégé Brian De Palma and wealthy Cynthia Monroe, who bankrolled the project. The trio shared screen credit as writers, directors, and producers, although it's De Palma's touch that's most evident in the film's technical aspects, while Leach's theatrical background suggests he was responsible for supervising the performances of the ensemble cast. Leach went on to a successful career as a
Tony Award-winning
theatre director, while De Palma continued as an
auteur of quirky films frequently emulating the themes and techniques of
Alfred Hitchcock.
The film was made in 1963 but not released until six years later, after one of its supporting players,
Robert De Niro, had begun to draw notice for his work in
off-Broadway theatre and De Palma's 1968 release
Greetings. Also in the cast were
Jennifer Salt and
William Finley, both of whom were De Palma regulars, and fellow Sarah Lawrence student
Jill Clayburgh as the bride-to-be.
The film is now available on
DVD.
