Movie Reviews of The Pink Panther
Movie Review: Still the best
Summary: 5 Stars
Imagine what it must have been like going to see "The Wizard of Oz" for the very _first_ time! And not knowing that it would switch to color! This is the feeling I get when watching the Pink Panther (or any other really good movie in a series for the very first time)! It's a totally new experience! The original always seems to be the best. This is true of the Peter Sellers PP series. Although the sequels were "good" it's not the same experience. Then there's the remakes. They are almost always universally abysmal (not always). This is also true of the remake of the PP series (Steve Martin). Fortunately I saw that movie for free. Worth every penny!
Summary of The Pink Panther
Meet Inspector Jacques Clouseau - the bumbling French detective whose career is one gigantic bananapeel. Showcasing the comic genius of Peter Sellers, this "delightful caper" (Leonard Maltin) brimswith "winning charm" (The Film Daily) and clever slapstick. David Niven, Robert Wagner and Capucineco-star in the sidesplitting film that launched one of the greatest comedy series of all time! Arriving at an Italian ski resort with a large diamond known as the Pink Panther, Princess Dala (Claudia Cardinale) encounters the suave Sir Charles (Niven), who also happens to be the notorious jewel thief The Phantom. Can Clouseau (Sellers), the clumsiest inspector ever to trip over a case, stop SirCharles' plot...or will The Phantom steal the "cat" and leave Clouseau holding the bag?The history of film comedy would have been much altered if Peter Ustinov had stayed in the role of Jacques Clouseau, the bumbling French police inspector in The Pink Panther. But Ustinov dropped out, the role went to Peter Sellers, and a classic character was born: suspicious, blundering, with a pompous little mustache and a sometimes impenetrable accent, Clouseau was always one step behind everybody else in the room. The Pink Panther introduced Clouseau hot on the trail of a famous jewel thief (David Niven), who may be planning to make off with an expensive gem known as the Pink Panther. Set in a European ski resort, this bubbly comedy is a wonderful dose of '60s style, from the famous Henry Mancini theme music to the presence of two of Europe's top sex symbols of the era, Claudia Cardinale and Capucine. The film also introduced the popular cartoon Pink Panther, slinking around to Mancini's music in an animated credits sequence. The film's success brought a follow-up, A Shot in the Dark, also released in 1964; after 11 years, Sellers and top comedy director Blake Edwards (10) returned with three more sequels. --Robert Horton
