Actors: David Niven, Peter Sellers,
Robert Wagner, Capucine, Claudia Cardinale.
Rating: 8 out of 10, The very first Inspector
Clouseau movie and I was surprised that he was obviously just a supporting character
in the movie that went on to spawn the innumerable sequels featuring him. It’s understandable
why because Sellers steals every scene he’s in as the bumbling French detective
although it was hard to look at anything else whenever Claudia Cardinale was on
screen. David Niven is the lead as a suave jewel thief hunted by Clouseau while
also having an affair with Clouseau’s wife. An impossibly young Robert Wagner
shows up as the literal American nephew and hijinks ensue ably managed by
director Blake Edwards.
MVP: Cardinale as the princess Dala, amazing
screen presence
