Peter Sellers returns to carry on playing his famous role as Jaques Clusso. There will never be Pink Panther films like this. You can't recreate the timing and comedy that Peter Sellers creates because everything is natural and effortless. You can almost predict what is going to happen but it is still funny, not telegraphed but once you start thinking like him you can see that it is possible for this stupid thing to happen.
No violin playing, no destruction of the violin and that was a little bit of a shame but watching him be constantly attacked by his friend 'Cato' in order to practice Karate was hilarious. This time around the film ditched its normal famous credits of 'The Pink Panther' accompanied by the theme, in fact, although all the music was done by Henri Mancini the actual Pink Panther did not feature at all in this film which was a little bit of a let down.
It will never be a problem of once you have seen one you have seen them all, this is not Die hard or Mission Impossible. There is something to gain to by watching all of these films and next year we intend the watch the other three films over the course of the year. Part of being British is understanding some of the greats: Alec Guinness, Lawrence Olivier, Peter Sellers so without further adue, if you have not watched any of these films then stop whatever you are doing and watch these films.
