Movie Reviews of A Shot in the Dark
Movie Review: The Pink Panther at the Nudist Camp...
Summary: 5 Stars
...Inspector Clouseau is at it in his prime!
A typical Pink Panther comedy, never misses a beat
in using every conceivable slapstick action and cliché.
The viewer is in for an unforgettable performance
of Peter Sellers' comedic excellence!
A "must have" for the serious Pink Panther fan and collector!
And if you haven't seen this classic before,
it is a "must see" now!
The scenes in the Nudist Camp are cleverly blocked,
Peter Sellers' Clouseau's obvious unease as to being
there is so brilliantly played out,
a reminder why Peter Sellers ranks way up there with
the "crème de la crème" of comedic talent and with
the best performers of all times!
Movie Review: Peter Sellers in his prime
Summary: 5 Stars
The motion picture is well known. I think it is one of the better, possibly the best, film in the series starring Peter Sellers as the bumbling French police inspector Clouseau. The characters borrow loosely from the old radio show The Green Hornet (with a houseboy, Cato). Clouseau, of course, is the bumbling inspector who succeeds in spite of himself. Herbert Lom plays his long suffering superior who is driven into therapy. Attempts to eliminate Clouseau result in deaths of various bystanders. There are various scenes like the classic scene where Clouseau and his ladyfriend flee from a nudist camp without their clothes and get caught in a mid-city traffic jam.
Clouseau, of course, survives even if the people around him fall by the wayside.
Movie Review: Fantastic sequel to the Pink Panther
Summary: 5 Stars
A Shot in the Dark is by far one of the funniest Pink Panther movie in the original series. While The Pink Panther was more of a dramatic comedy, this movie is just straight-out comedy. New to the series is Cato and Chief Inpector Dreyfus, both of which are hilarious characters. A Shot in the Dark is more in line with what people associate the Pink Panther movies with: bumbling Inspector Clouseau and his crazy antics.
If you enjoyed The Pink Panther and loved to see more of Inspector Clouseau (which we didn't get enough of in the first film), then this movie is for you. Highly recommended!
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the funniest movies ever made, and by far the funniest Inspector Clousseau film. The gags may date back to Sennet & Chaplin (with some Marx Brothers thrown in) but director Blake Edwards puts them together in a way that is fresh and brathtakingly funny. Peter Sellers was never able to add anything more to the character he created after this film, and it is the vehicle that introduced both Inspector Dreyfus and Kato, as well as the whole karate running joke. It is Herbert Lom's funniest turn as Dreyfus, and Elke Sommer's lower lip never looked more pouty.Movie Review: A Shot in the Dark
Summary: 5 Stars
Bearing all the hilarious hallmarks of Edwards's Pink Panther films, this second entry in the popular series finds pratfall artist Sellers tumbling into a pond, warding off nocturnal judo attacks from assistant Kato (Burt Kwouk), and trying to bed the woman literally found holding a smoking gun. Sellers is at his nutty best, the ravishing Sommer is slyly seductive, and Herbert Lom gives his Chief Inspector Dreyfus plenty of agitated gravitas. For a murder mystery heavy on inspired sight gags and goofy punch lines, "A Shot in the Dark" hits the bull's-eye.
