Clouseau naturally forms a letch for Sommer, and much of the pleasure in the story is to be found in the way the bumbler destroys and re-makes the world so he can emerge triumphant and with girl on his arm.
Clouseau is now indestructible in a loony tunes way, and the assaults on him by his manservant Cato involve extensive physical destruction.
The rest of the plot involves Clouseau's investigation of Lom's kidnapping of a British scientist and the man's daughter (a victim of exquisite torture) as a way of furthering the mad ex-detective's evil aim of world domination.

Clouseau will blend in, only attracting attention to himself during his occasional clumsy blunder, such as tripping over a tent stake or nonchalantly leaning on an old building and having it collapse.
Clouseau drops safely into Afghanistan--though he spends an hour tangled in his parachute--and quickly blends in with an excellent disguise as a scruffy, fragrant herdsman.
Clouseau has the disguise advantage simply from his everyday moustache, because as everyone knows, men with ugly facial hair are oddly attracted to other men with ugly facial hair.

Clouseau learns his new disguise is ready, and asks about the latex noses in the window.
The guy putting the costume on Clouseau (the hunchback costume also seen in Strikes Again, another indication of where this scene really comes from) gets in the way, and Auguste's response is to push him to the floor and kick him.

Dreyfus assigns Jean Reno to be Clouseau's partner (and straight man), and the 2 take off in pursuit of the killer jewel thief.

Trivia: The second Clouseau film, A Shot in the Dark (1964), was released only three months after this film.
It's interesting to watch this movie again, especially after seeing the rest of the series, as you're seeing Clouseau in his raw stage of development; the accent is not yet as pronounced as it will be later, and his `denseness' is not quite refined yet.
From the first moment Clouseau appears on screen, you know that you're about to be treated to something special.

Quotes: Inspector Jacques Clouseau: There is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them.
Sellers' Clouseau was a catalyst for the disasters that inevitably befell him; he CAUSED most of his own problems without ever realizing it.
To him they were just minor setbacks on the way to solving the case he was working on, because he was so thoroughly convinced of his own abilities--which, as we all knew, were virtually nonexistent--that he knew beyond a doubt he would solve the case and become the hero, which he usually did.

 Michael Crawford's Review of the Week
This was the perfect character selection - obviously, Clouseau was his first co-star in the opening credits, and The Man (who's also been called the Pale Man, The Little Man, and the Big Nose Man) was the co-star in the very first Oscar winning cartoon.
And finally (at least so far), Inspector Clouseau will be coming out in an 'blown up' version, with appropriate soot, as a Palisade's Collector's Club exclusive.
Clouseau does a little better, with neck (that's sort of a ball joint, so he can tilt his head slightly, but is fairly limited), ball jointed shoulders, cut elbows, wrists, and waist.

 Amazon.ca: DVD: The Return of the Pink Panther (Widescreen)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Peter Sellers's third go-around as the prideful but bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau 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).
This movie is painfully funny at times (particularly when Herbert Lom is onscreen as Clouseau's boss, the long suffering Dreyfus), and if the plot is a little weak, all is forgiven thanks to a series of sight gags that are the best of their type since Chaplin did his thing.
For those who must have a plot, it goes like this: the Pink Panther diamond is again stolen from a museum in Lugash, and a white glove emblazoned with a letter P is left behind- the sign of the jewel thief the Phantom.

INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU from 1968 with Alan Arkin as Clouseau is a highly underrated effort from director Bud Yorkin.
Another funny scene is when Clouseau tries to disembark from the plane at the airport missing his shoes and umbrella.
I haven't seen the other Clouseau flicks recently enough to remember if they all were like this, but this G-rated flick had enough gay innuendo to almost consider that this was brilliantly hidden subversive material.

 A Shot in the Dark (1964)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Plot Outline: As murder follows murder, beautiful Maria is the obvious suspect; bumbling Inspector Clouseau drives his boss mad by seeing her as plainly innocent.
The maid, Maria Gambrelli was found in a locked room with a gun in her hands and a body at her feet - all the clues appear to point to her, but Clouseau is too taken by her beauty to believe it could be her.
The problem with this is that the comedy around Clouseau usually requires a small build up and hence a lag before the laugh - hence the laughs are spaced rather than consistent.

 Sellers personifies Clouseau in 'Pink Panther' - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
As funny as Sellers is as the pompous baton-twirler with the ridiculous accent, the film's success owed a great deal to the slinky, instantly memorable, do-doot-da-doo theme by Henry Mancini (which became a top-40 hit) and the animated title sequence that made the suave cat an instant icon.
Sellers declined to reprise the role in 1968's "Inspector Clouseau," leaving the job to a game but miscast Alan Arkin, but returned in 1975's "The Return of the Pink Panther" which, because of rights issues, is not included in the box, to no big loss.
A sixth disc is anchored by "The Pink Panther Story," which does an extremely good job of sorting out the various permutations of the character and his animated alter ego, while giving Blake Edwards the respect he deserves for reviving the Chaplinesque art of of intelligent physical comedy.
