Peter Sellers's third go-around as the prideful but bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau in The Return of the Pink Panther is funny enough, but this 1975 Blake Edwards revival of the Sellers-Clouseau connection is a little weak in comparison to predecessors The Pink Panther and A Shot in the Dark (both made in 1964). Co-star Christopher Plummer actually gets some of the most interesting screen time as a retired cat burglar whom Clouseau accuses of getting back into the business. (If it sounds like there might be a To Catch a Thief vibe mixed in here, you're right.) Herbert Lom is hilarious as Clouseau's psychologically eroding boss, and Clouseau's ritualistic collisions with valet Cato (Burt Kwouk) are great examples of Edwards' delicious comic timing. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

I haven't, in truth, watched this film for years, but I remember it as being one of the funniest in the Pink Panther series (A Shot In The Dark being, overall, the best film per se.)
I thought it might be useful to say to Sellers collectors that this film is not included in the Pink Panther box set in the UK. I think this is because the home video distribution rights were sold to another company, away from UA. So, if you want the complete Pink Panther, you need to get this disc as well.

Well you have to hand it to Sellers for this one, everything about this film is a diamond. It is better than the first movie and clearly the most wanted Pink Panther movie to complete your collection. This is a must buy, it is so funny and entertaining, if you love Sellers you will adore this.

This is the third story in the Pink Panther series and it's a really funny movie. The plot is a bit stretched at times but it is compensated by the brilliant comic timing and physical humour of Sellers, and Herbert Lom's Commissioner Dreyfus with his slow mental breakdown over the course of the film. This sets up the next installment (Pink Panther Strikes Again) which is probably the best for laugh-out-loud comedy. However, this film is not far behind especially when you hark back to Clouseau reprimanding the blind man with the monkey, outside the bank being so conspicuously robbed!
The only downside is that it doesn't have the same strength in cast as the first movie where diamond thief Sir Charles Litton aka The Phantom (or "Charles Phantom aka The Litton") is played by David Niven so effortlessly.

Best in the series in my opinion.
Shame this is still subject to legal disputes over the rights as it would be great to have in the boxed set. That said its the best of the lot.

Sellers at his best
This is a character Peter Sellers made his own; sorry to Steve Martin. Much as I enjoyed your two, Sellers is Closeau, "bimp" and all. Read more

Well I bought this DVD due to the fact the first pink panther collection didn't include this film, due to MGM not owning the rights to it. Read more
