	Inspector Clouseau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inspector Jacques Clouseau is a bumbling fictional French detective who was a character in the Blake Edwards's Pink Panther series.
		Though the character in the animated The Inspector was never given a name, he is clearly based on Clouseau.
		Steve Martin's rendition of Clouseau in the 2006 film is considered to be a rebooting of the character.

	Pink Panther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The name stuck once the Pink Panther became synonymous with Inspector Clouseau, in much the way that Frankenstein was used in film titles to refer to Frankenstein's Monster.
		Jacques Clouseau is a bumbling simpleton who believes himself to be a detective, if not a genius.
		In Son of the Pink Panther, he deals with Clouseau's equally buffoonish son Jacques Gambrelli but, going by the track record of his nemesis, is more accepting of him than he was of Clouseau himself.

	Revenge of the Pink Panther
		Jacques Clouseau is his most memorable character, and he slipped into the inspector's trench coat without hesitation, because he knew that audiences loved his performance as the clumsy Clouseau.
		Inspector Clouseau was recently promoted to Chief Inspector, to replace Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), who somehow regains visibility after being wiped out in The Pink Panther Strikes Again.
		Inspector Clouseau saw his last case, but Blake Edwards, perhaps courageously, kept the series alive.

		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 superior, who is eventually driven murderously insane by his intolerance for Clouseau's stupidity.

	The Pink Panther Film Collection DVD Review at The Z Review UK DVD reviews
		Inspector Clouseau investigates a country-house murder in which all fingers point to the pretty maid Maria but Clouseau clearly sees her innocence.
		Clouseau's summary of 'the facts' has passed into legend, while his antics at the Ballon household are side-splittingly funny.
		Clouseau's darkened entry into (and tumbling exit from) a small gym room, for example, is a true highlight, while even trivial matters such as ordering a hotel room (or 'reum') are made funny.

	The Return of the Pink Panther Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		As Lady Lytton is in on Clouseau's whole surveillance scheme, she can barely keep a straight face around him as, undercover, he clumsily tries to woo her and throw her off track—to no avail.
		Sure, when Clouseau innocently sits down at the edge of a swimming pool or enters a revolving door, you know where it's going, but Sellers is such a master of physical comedy that he makes these crazy moments work over and over.
		When Cato (Burt Kwouk), Clouseau's trusty manservant, ambushes his boss during their ongoing game of hide-seek-and-demolish, the ensuing mayhem seems to go way beyond the bounds of the movie's "G" rating.

	A Shot in the Dark (1964) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		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.

	The Pink Panther - ComingSoon.net Movie Reviews
		Instead, bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin) is assigned to find the diamond and the killer and bring him to justice.
		Martin plays Clouseau as the typical wise-fool - bumbling, but unaware of it, and thus capable of seeing some things others might miss, which allows for some obvious setups that seem like they could be funny but generally aren't.
		As forgettable as everyone else is, Kline is always a joy to watch in the film, particularly when he is being unknowingly tortured by Clouseau.

		After Jacques Clouseau unintentionally, unknowingly knocks the hit man off the balcony who was inturn stalking him, in a hilarious sequence where Clouseau was hunting Cato, as is their custom, an elaborate ambush is planned.
		When Clouseau is reported dead, Dreyfus feels much better, and is said to be cured, and even gives the liturgy at Clouseau's funeral, trying hard not to laugh.
		Jacques Clouseau, dressed in the transvestite's clothes is picked up by the police, who then check him into the same mental hospital as his old boss, Inspector Dreyfuss, who is preparing to leave the hospital, thinking Clouseau is finally behind him, now that he is dead.

		Happily, Martin (who co-wrote the script) is up to the task; his Clouseau is an ode to Sellers' brilliant impersonation while also adding uniquely Martinesque tics to the bumbling character.
		The story, such as it is, begins with the murder of a famed French soccer coach by poisoned dart, and the subsequent disappearance from his finger of a humongous diamond known as the "Pink Panther." Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline) wants ultimate credit for solving the case.
		And the ending is one big "huh?" Clouseau suddenly morphs into a smart detective able to solve the case, while the culprit seems to have been plucked randomly from the cast of suspects.

		A dart dipped in a rare Chinese poison is found in his neck, and the famous Pink Panther diamond, which Glaunt wore in a ring, is missing.
		Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline, in the role originated by Herbert Lom) assigns Clouseau to the case, not because he thinks he can solve it but because he's certain the clumsy and astonishingly self-confident officer will distract the media from his own investigation.
		Dreyfus promotes Clouseau to inspector and teams him with Gendarme Gilbert Ponton (Jean Reno), though Ponton's real job is to keep an eye on Clouseau and report his every move.

	Steve Martin revives bungling Inspector Clouseau
		Steve Martin is to take over the trenchcoat of the hapless Inspector Jacques Clouseau, the accident-prone Parisian policeman created by Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films.
		MGM is making The Birth of the Pink Panther, a return to the original 1964 film, in which the detective embarks on the trail of a slippery jewel thief.
		Since the 1980 death of Sellers, the role has been played by Sir Roger Moore in The Curse of the Pink Panther and Alan Arkin in Inspector Clouseau, with Roberto Benigni playing the inspector's equally inept offspring, Jacques Clouseau Jnr, in Son of the Pink Panther.

		Steve Martin humiliates himself in this dreadful reincarnation of Inspector Jacques Clouseau, the bumbling, incompetent French policeman who mangles syntax, as immortalized in a series of comedies by the late Peter Sellers.
		The legend of the “Pink Panther” began in 1963 with Blake Edwards’ original, which was designed as a vehicle for urbane David Niven.
		The Clouseau character was conceived as an homage to silent film comics like Keaton and Chaplin.

		It was forty-three years ago that Peter Sellers donned the bumbling persona of Inspector Jacques Clouseau in Blake Edward’s classic, THE PINK PANTHER.
		With Hollywood’s stigma toward fresh material and their incessant tendencies toward remaking popular movies from the past, it was only a matter of time before they got around to revamping the farcical misadventures of the screwy, French inspector.
		Opposed to imitating Peter Seller’s madcap depiction of the witless detective in the new PINK PANTHER, Martin explains it was important to him to completely reinvent the character of Inspector Clouseau for the new film.

		But, as ever, the casualties that matter are all Clouseau victims: logic, the English language and antagonized police chief Charles Dreyfus.
		Transforming Clouseau's perennial nemesis into a more urbane smoothie, Kevin Kline delivers like a pro — though his performance is dwarfed by memories of Herbert Lom, who originated the role, and his degrading descents into foamy lips and straitjackets.
		Highest marks in the foil department go to Jean Reno as a stolidly confused Clouseau colleague and Emily Mortimer (perfectly adorable) as a dizzy morale-booster.
