The Wedding Party is a 1969 American film farce created as a joint effort by Sarah Lawrence theater professor Wilford Leach, and two of his students, protégé Brian De Palma and Cynthia Munroe. It was bankrolled by Stanley Borden, owner of American Films, De Palma's mentor and employer, who allowed De Palma to produce the film on company time. Leach went on to a successful career as a Tony Award-winning theatre director, while De Palma continued as a well-known film director.
