Jones was nominated for the 1. Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of a party girl who is actually very lonely. Mary Grant designed the film's costumes.

Bosley Crowther wrote of the film, "Mr. Chayefsky in his writing and Delbert Mann in his direction of this film have made it delightfully amusing and compensating as it flows.

For the most poignant revelations of emptiness and fear, they have provided hilarious explosions in the serio- comic vein."[5]Charlie Samson (Murray) is a hard- working married bookkeeper, struggling to advance himself by attending night school to become an accountant. He and four co- workers throw a bachelor party for a fellow bookkeeper, Arnold Craig (Philip Abbott), who is about to get married. After the party, they decide to go bar- hopping. Charlie is to be Arnold's best man. Colleagues attending the party include the older married man, Walter (Marshall), who has recently been diagnosed with asthma, and Eddie (Warden), a happy- go- lucky bachelor. The night becomes a turning point for all five men.

Charlie finds his loyalty to his wife tested during the evening, and he almost has an affair with a young woman (Jones) he meets on the street heading to a Greenwich Village party. Walter, in despair about his situation, wanders off during the evening.

Arnold becomes drunk and ambivalent about getting married, and he breaks off the wedding only to change his mind after he sobers up and Charlie gives him a lecture about the benefits of married life. This, in spite of the fact that in the beginning of the story, Charlie had been regretting his marriage and had gone to the party with a serious intention of committing adultery. We last see Eddie at a bar, striking up a conversation with an older unattractive woman. In the end, Charlie decides that married life is the way to go, and that his struggle to build a home with his wife is worthwhile, and better than the empty and lonely existence of his friend Eddie, whom he used to envy.[3]The Bachelor Party was nominated for one Oscar, one BAFTA award, and one award at the 1. Cannes Film Festival: [6][7]Chayefsky on The Bachelor Party[edit]Afterword to The Bachelor Party: [3]“I am not sure to this day where the basic approach was wrong; but obviously the line of the story is six inches off from beginning to end, and the third- act resolution is hardly an inevitable outgrowth of the preceding two acts. I have also found that most directors take a somewhat different approach to my scripts than I do.”See also[edit]References[edit]^"Top Grosses of 1.
