HAPPY THANKSGIVING! FILM: The Pink Panther (1963) (Original version!) · 11:06am Nov 24th, 2016
THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL!
In this, perhaps the role which he remains best known for these days, Peter Sellers is Paris police Inspector Clouseau. He is a complete bungler whose wife is not only two-timing him, she's two-timing him with the very jewel thief he's been assigned to catch. Of course, he has no idea! In one of his greatest performances, the first of five he would give as Clouseau during his lifetime, Sellers gives us subtle slapstick, wry satire and just plain belly laughs. The picture features David Niven, Claudia Cardinale, two gorilla costumes, some runaway cars, and a gem called THE PINK PANTHER. Director Blake Edwards gives the film pace, style, and lots of side-splitting laughter.
