Actors: Peter Sellers, Elke Sommer, George
Sanders, Herbert Lom, Tracy Reed
Graham Stark Rating: 6 out of 10, The
quick follow up to the pink panther with Inspector Clouseau as the central character.
We see for the first time his long suffering boss Commissioner Dreyfus as well
as his attack butler Kato. There was some obvious tongue in cheek casting with Nordic
goddess Elke Sommer as an Italian maid and the uber-English Saunders as a
French aristocrat. This seemed more like a theatrical play with a series of
murders laid at the feet of the hot Italian maid whom Clouseau (and every other
male viewer) is falling in love with. It doesn’t help that he is Clouseau with the
world literally imploding in his wake. Funny, but a little forced.
MVP: Sellers as Jacques Clouseau, the
worst successful detective ever
