The Pink Panther


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
