THE PINK PANTHER, the first of a series of films with the blundering sleuth, opened in the United States in April 1964 and was an immediate hit. Its humor is a little bawdier than that of other films in this series.ĬURSE OF THE PINK PANTHER, directed by Blake Edwards Written by Blake Edwards and Geoffrey Edwards director of photography, Dick Bush edited by Ralph E. Peter Sellers plays the inept French detective to comic perfection in the 55th anniversary screenings of THE PINK PANTHER and A SHOT IN THE DARK at three Laemmle locations on April 1. ''The Curse of the Pink Panther'' is rated PG (''Parental Guidance Suggested''). Not even those undiscriminating enough to find this ''Pink Panther'' film as charming as any of the others will imagine that this newscaster's French accent is genuine. Also in the large cast, inexplicably, is Patricia Davis, President Reagan's daughter, playing a French newscaster. Robert Wagner, Capucine, Harvey Korman, Bert Kwouk and the late David Niven make what are in effect longish cameo appearances, as Sleigh revisits the scenes of Clouseau's various exploits. These physical gags look as though they'd have worked a lot better for Mr. He stumbles even more frequently than his predecessor did, and subjects Herbert Lom's Dreyfus to a lot of the usual abuse. The search for the world's greatest detective is being conducted by computer, and Dreyfus - who of course doesn't want Clouseau found at all - has secretly reprogrammed the machine to find the world's worst detective.Īpparently, he succeeds, for once Sleigh is recruited from the New York City Police Department, he proves to be every bit as comically accident-prone as the man he's looking for. Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass) wanders into a wax museum filled with likenesses of the late Peter Sellers, and pinches the cheek of one of them.ĭetective Sleigh has been located by the by-now-venerable Dreyfus, to investigate the disappearance of Dreyfus's nemesis, Clouseau. Only occasionally does it turn ghoulish, as when Detective Sgt. ‘The Return of the Pink Panther’ (1975) and ‘The Pink Panther Strikes Again’ (1976) are two of Peter Sellers’ highest grossing movies.

Not unfunny, and not really an offense to the memory of Inspector Clouseau, it's merely a movie with very little reason to exist. Perhaps his most memorable role was as Inspector Jacques Clouseau in ‘The Pink Panther’ movie series (19631982). It's aimed at those who'll be satisifed with another snappy credit sequence, a few of the old familiar faces, and very little more. To say that Blake Edwards's ''Curse of the Pink Panther'' is aimed at easy-to-please audiences is to understate the case considerably.
