This is the original Pink Panther movie, starring Peter Sellers as the clumsy Inspector Clouseau. Also starring is David Niven and a very young (and scrawny!) Robert Wagner.
We find Inspector Clouseau at a snowy Swiss resort, on the heels of a jewel thief. As you might guess, the thief is right under his nose, and is also aided by Simone, Clouseau's lovely wife! David Niven is the smooth talking thief, and Robert Wagner plays his nephew, with his own shady history. They all seem to work together, yet none trusts the other. The movie is full of physical comedy, close calls and mistaken identities! The scene where Simone juggles Sellers, Niven, and Wagner in the hotel room and none of them ever know that the other two are also hidden in the room is pretty funny!
Princess Dala (Claudia Cardinale) is the princess who owns the target jewel that Clouseau is trying to protect. I thought she really looked a lot like Catherine Zeta Jones! (see photos to the left)This review is short and sweet: The Pink Panther is a funny, enjoyable movie, and Peter Sellers did a great job! Might be worth it to watch the rest of this series of movies!
