When enigmatic young American, Melina (Louise Sorel), falls in with a group of Chelsea beatniks, she catches the attention of the gang’s defiant leader, Moise, but invites scorn and jealousy from the group s other members, including Moise’s lover Libby. At one wild and drunken party the group’s games are taken too far and tragedy follows, but only when Melina’s fiancé Carson begins investigating does the terrible truth reveal itself. Originally banned by the censors for its controversial content, The Party’s Over has long been out of circulation, despite the presence of some of Britain’s most celebrated acting talent and James Bond director Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger, Live and Let Die).
