The Party's Over is a 1965 British drama film directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Oliver Reed, Clifford David, Ann Lynn and Katherine Woodville.

Uncertain what she wants in life, she has been avoiding transatlantic phone calls from her fiancé, Carson, who is eventually sent to London by her wealthy father to bring her back for her wedding.

The beatniks use diversionary tactics to misdirect Carson, and Melina continues to evade him, although he comes close to finding her several times.

When Carson finally confronts Moise it is revealed that Milena truly was dead, having fallen off a balcony and broken her neck, but the party-goers simply presume she has passed out.

The BBFC requested three rounds of cuts, before granting an X certificate and allowing the film to finally reach cinemas in the UK in 1965.

Once again we are in the beatnik world (which means a lot of hectic if joyless dancing, vaguely rebellious behaviour, and casual sleeping around), presented even less convincingly than usual, and aggravated by some appalling acting from most of the cast and direction which ensures that each scene is shot in as boring a manner as possible.

The moral of the tale, emphasising how futile and empty this kind of life can be, might have held some force if the people had been at all interesting; in the event, Eddie Albert's lament over his dead daughter provides the only moment of real human contact and the one solidly professional performance.

"[4] In a positive retrospective review for The Guardian, Philip French found the film of "considerable historic interest.

Set in Chelsea in the Swinging Sixties, it's about the daughter of an American industrialist who falls in with a crowd of beatniks, led by a menacing Oliver Reed.
