Format:DVD
In Inspector Clouseau Peter Sellers created one of the greatest comedy characters and he and Blake Edwards reunite for a fifth Pink Panther film featuring the inept Frenchman.
After Return and Strikes again the Pink Panther series began to falter at this point as the character of Clouseau began to get more and more extreme and the plots of the film began to get more and more like a James Bond spoof with the ending in particular being totally manic.
One thing that is nice about this film is that we see Clouseau walk off into the distance and this is made more poignant by the fact that we now know it would be the last time Sellers played the character.

Sellers at his best. How anybody could have even thought that Steve Martin could hold a candle to him baffles me. Nothing on the telly ? Nothing new there. Grab a copy of this, and a few beers. Perhaps a tin of Deep Heat for the aches you'll have, laughing at it. Go for it. I've now got the whole collection. Come and join me, you won't regret it.

Format:DVD
With Blake Edwards directing, this 1978 film in Pink Panther series was the sixth, the fifth starring Peter Sellers. (The 1968 film "Inspector Clouseau" starring Alan Arkin did not involve Peter Sellers, Blake Edwards or Henry Mancini and, although it was enjoyable, it had a hard act to follow and was not up to the same high standard as previous films.)
This film finds Chief Inspector Clouseau battling against the French Connection. This was the last film portrayal by Sellers who died two years after this film - aged fifty-five. (The 1982 "Trail of the Pink Panther" was cobbled together from unused bits of film but his widow sued the makers for detracting from his memory.)
Peter Sellers - Chief Inspector Clouseau
Herbert Lom - Chief Inspector Dreyfus
Dyan Cannon - Simone
Robert Webber - Douvier
Paul Stewart - Scallini
Burt Kwouk - Cato
Although it creaks a little in places and lacks some of the vital freshness of the originals which made the series its name, it is still full of laughs and a credit to those who sustained this character for five successful films. Now on single DVD at £2.50 (about the cost of a cinema coffee in places), it will amuse for hours.

Truly the last
Revenge of the Pink Panther was Peter Sellers' last outing as the bungling Inspector Clouseau (if alive). Read more

Not as good as his earlier Pink Panther films
I did enjoy this DVD, however the gags were not as funny as I would expect from Peter Sellers.
The scene where Sellers was dressed up as a China Man just didn't work, however... Read more

Classic Peter Sellers
A must-have for any Peter Sellers collection. One of the best of the Pink Panthers. The scenes with Cato are hilarious.

Side Splitting
I agree with PA Lambert this is a great film. One of the funniest I ever saw. The Godfather at LEE KEE Boatyard is comic genius (even the title). Read more

Not nearly as funny as I expected it to be
I remember trying to watch some of these Pink Panther movies back when I was a kid - and really not getting the humor at all. Read more
