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.

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.

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 the scene where Sellers was a Mafia boss was hilarious and well worth seeing.
The story just plods along with an ordinary plot with not a lot of imagination unfortunately, this is not one of the best Peter Sellers movies but far from terrible.

really good , especially if you're a bit down.
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. Read more
