The Return of the Pink Panther


Actors: Peter Sellers, Christopher Plummer, Catherine Schell, Peter Arne, Graham Stark, Burt Kwouk
Rating: 8 out of 10, This is my favorite Clouseau movie as I watch my way through the entire series. Sellers is spot on as the totally inept and yet somehow completely successful French police inspector. Plummer replaces Niven as the Phantom and has his moments in a Saharan sub-plot but this movie belongs to Sellers as he makes his through increasingly outlandish disguises. Poor Herbert Lom, as Closeau’s supervisor continues his march into madness as the supervisor of the criminally unaware detective. This was a nice insertion of comedic nostalgia.
MVP: Sellers, of course
