More Info

THE PINK PANTHER, 1964, MGM Repertory, 113 min. Director/writer Blake Edwards introduced one of the most beloved characters in modern cinema - Peter Sellers’ absolutely clueless Inspector Jacques Clouseau - with this effervescent, champagne-colored comedy about a notorious British jewel thief and playboy (David Niven) on a ski holiday with nephew Robert Wagner, mistress Capucine, exotic princess Claudia Cardinale and a priceless diamond in tow. A SHOT IN THE DARK, 1964, MGM Repertory, 101 min. Blake Edwards’ follow-up to THE PINK PANTHER gave both director and star free reign to unleash a non-stop barrage of pratfalls, sight gags and linguistic nonsense. The incomparable Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) falls – literally – head over heels for lovely murder suspect Maria (Elke Sommer), and wilfully ignores the facts! Everything seems freshly minted, from Herbert Lom’s hysterics as Chief Inspector Dreyfus to Burt Kwouk’s first appearance as Cato.
