	Curse of the Pink Panther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film was one of two produced concurrently following the death of the series' star, Peter Sellers.
		Further films were cancelled, although another unsuccessful attempt at reviving the series occurred 10 years later with Son of the Pink Panther, starring Roberto Benigni as Clouseau's illegitimate son.
		Yet another attempt would be made in 2006 with Steve Martin as Clouseau, although his film is considered a rebooting of the franchise rather than a relaunch or continuation.

	Inspector Clouseau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In most of the films, he was played by Peter Sellers, with one film in which he was played by Alan Arkin and one in which he was played by an uncredited Roger Moore.

		In the original Pink Panther movie, the main focus was on on David Niven's role as Sir Charles Lytton, aka the infamous jewel thief "the Phantom", and his plot to steal the Pink Panther from its original owner.
		The Inspector Clouseau character played essentially a supporting role as Lytton's incompetent antagonist, and provided slapstick comic relief to a movie that was a subtle, light-hearted crime drama.
		(Clouseau's accent is far less pronounced in the early films; it was only starting in the 1970s that an exaggerated accent became part of the joke).

		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.
		Bud Yorkin's 'Inspector Clouseau' is funnier than the first 'Pink Panther', as well as some of the ones made in the late '70's and '80's.
		Inspector Clouseau is also one of the shortest entries in the series; this would most likely be down to the fact that it seems choppy, with all the hallmarks of a movie being butchered down to around 90 minutes when a studio loses faith during post-production and test screenings.

		Sellers originates the Inspector Jacques Clouseau role in 1964's The Pink Panther, a film he dominates even though David Niven is arguably the lead.
		Despite the film's success, the director and star would not collaborate on another Pink Panther movie until 1974's The Return of the Pink Panther; the feeble Inspector Clouseau (1968) would star Alan Arkin in the title role.
		Clouseau is a more minor role here than he would be in the future.

	I4U Price Watch : VHS : Inspector Clouseau
		After a while you forget Sellers isn't in the film and accept it for what it is. The film does have a nifty plot involving a gang of thieves whose masterplan is to rob the Zurich bank and frame Clouseau.
		Alan Arkin's Clouseau demonstrates some of these qualities sporadically but for the majority of his performance he comes across with a certain amount of annoying arrogance and plain stupidity and gains little sympathy from the viewer.
		INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU from 1968 with Alan Arkin as Clouseau is a highly underrated effort from director Bud Yorkin.

		In the meantime, Alan Arkin undertook the part in a forgettable 1968 film called, appropriately enough, "Inspector Clouseau." But Sellers' return was a triumph, so much so that the actor would complete two more "Panther" films before his untimely death.
		This time around, Clouseau is again called upon to recover the fabulous diamond known as the Pink Panther after its theft from a museum in the tiny, fictional country of Lugash.
		Beyond the film, there are production notes and filmmaker biographies and filmographies, neither of which are mentioned on the keep case; a generous thirty-four chapter stops; and a trailer.

	1968
		The whole film is played in a very tongue-in-cheek manner-especially when it comes to the frequent (but non-explicit) sex scenes.
		This film could also be read as a criticism of white males--it is not merely a coincidence that the film's two most rational, constructive characters are a woman and a fl man. It is also no coincidence that the sequel takes place in a mall infested by the undead--a perfect analogy for consumer culture.
		An excellent film with incredible atmosphere (the sepia-tinted scenes at the beginning are strangely haunting), little dialogue, and very religious overtones (despite the controversy with the Catholic Church upon its initial release).

		"There is a time to laugh, and a time not to laugh," Inspector Clouseau solemnly intones, "and this is not one of those times." In a weirdly appropriate way, he's right, and "Inspector Clouseau" is one of those movies.
		Clouseau is Alan Arkin this time, instead of Peter Sellers, and it's hard to say whether we gain or lose.
		Unhappily, Arkin has been given a script not quite up to the two Sellers-Clouseau films, "The Pink Panther" and "A Shot in the Dark." And his director, Bud Yorkin, is good but not on the level with Inspector Clouseau's creator, Blake Edwards.

		This would be the third (or the 4th if you count the box-office turd 'Inspector Clouseau' of 1968) film in the Pink Panther series "The Return of the Pink Panther" and as Bob notes correctly, Chief Inspector Dreyfuss, a regular in the films played by Herbert Lom, did not appear in the first film.
		At the end of the film Clouseau is found to have had himself cosmetically altered to resemble Roger Moore (of James Bond fame), and was played of course by, Roger Moore.
		Yeah, you heard right, there is going to be a new Pink Panther film, a 'prequel' to the original series, with a new actor playing the part of Inspector Clouseau and this time, they've chosen someone who might actually pull it off--Steve Martin.

		A film that defined the era of the turbulent 1960's, this low-budget film tells the tale of two motorcyclists (Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) in search of the "real America".
		The film is also quite scary in the way that it shows the brutality perpetrated upon the fl people of Mississippi.
		A movie that is on par with Schindler's List, this is the type of film that children SHOULD see (despite the R rating), because it offers them a chance to learn about a dark chapter in American history and to perhaps learn from the mistakes made during that period.

		Sellers' first film successes were in 1959 in the British Ealing comedies, such as I'm All Right Jack and The Mouse That Roared.
		Sellers is most famous for his role as the bungling Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies, which gave him a worldwide audience.
		Commonly considered a master actor, sometimes described as an "obsessive perfectionist", Sellers found in Blake Edwards a devoted director who could delicately underline and follow his comic rhythms; Edwards defined Sellers as a "mercurial clown" who could turn comedy into drama, and vice-versa, in an instant.
