  The Pink Panther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pink Panther of the title is a diamond supposedly containing a flaw which forms the image of a "leaping panther", which can be seen if held up to light in a certain way.
In the original Pink Panther movie, the main focus was on David Niven's role as Sir Charles Lytton, who is the infamous jewel thief "the Phantom", and his plan to steal the Pink Panther from its owner.
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.

 The Return of the Pink Panther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The film also heavily focuses on the return of the character Sir Charles Lytton (the notorious Phantom), now played by Christopher Plummer rather than David Niven.
This caused "Return" to enter litigation for a brief time, which is why MGM Home Entertainment did not include "Return" in a 2004 DVD box set of "Pink Panther" films, and will not do so for future collections.
Recently the "Return of the Pink Panther" has been re-released on DVD for the European market (DVD region code 2) available at Amazon.co.uk.

The Pink Panther of the title is, in the first film, a diamond supposedly containing a flaw which forms the image of a pink panther, whose theft is the concern of the first film.
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.
In Pink Panther Strikes Again he attempts to take over the world for the sole purpose of guaranteeing the death of Clouseau by kidnapping a scientist and forcing him to build a doomsday weapon, a giant gun-like weapon that emits a laser that vaporizes anything it touches.

 Barnes & Noble.com - The Return of the Pink Panther -- Blake Edwards - DVD - Wide Screen / Subtitled
A sturdily produced romp that once again found Clouseau in hot pursuit of the Pink Panther diamond, Return codified comic gambits employed in the first two entries; the inspector still fended off attacks by his well-meaning valet, Cato (Burt Kwouk), and drove his superior officer (Herbert Lom) mad with his bungling.
Returning to the series after an 11-year break, both Sellers and Edwards exhibited remarkable vitality in staging and performing the film's comedic set pieces.
But Return is itself a glittering jewel, a particularly fecund collaboration between one of the screen's great comic actors and one of its most engaging directors.

 The Return of the Pink Panther Movie Review at Hollywood Video
When the famous Pink Panther diamond is stolen, everyone blames the retired thief "The Phantom." The bumbling inspector Clouseau is once again called in to chase down the crooks.
The huge, worldwide success of 1963's The Pink Panther and its immediate sequel, A Shot in the Dark, was clearly the motivation to trot out Peter Sellers and his clumsy, English-mangling Inspector Jacques Clouseau for a third go-round over a decade later in The Return of the Pink Panther.
Meanwhile, retired Lord Charles, who's actually innocent, has returned to the scene of the crime, the fictional, vaguely Arab country of Lugash, to clear his name (these scenes are convoluted and dull, and seem to exist only for cutaway purposes).

 DVD Talk > Reviews > The Return of the Pink Panther
The Return of the Pink Panther (1975) by all rights except contractual really belonged in MGM's boxed set, especially as it bridged the first two films, made in the mid-1960s, with those made from the mid-1970s onward.
The film literally marks the return of the Pink Panther, the "largest and most famous diamond in the world," which is stolen from a museum in the vaguely Pakistani / Arabian (and fictitious) country of Lugash in an extravagantly-staged heist.
The Return of the Pink Panther is presented in a solid 16:9 enhanced transfer that retains the original Panavision aspect ratio.

At the center of it is Peter Sellers's incarnation of inspector Jacques Clouseau, a hopelessly bumbling detective with a genius for resting his hands in the wrong place (on the surface of a spinning globe, for instance) and mangling the English language.
Having been a fan of "The Pink Panther" series from childhood, I was ecstatic that this set was being released, as the films are otherwise out of print on DVD (although luckily I still have my trusty VHS copies in reserve).
I wish they had included "Return of the Pink Panther" instead of "Trail of the Pink Panther" because I have never watched it and have absolutely no interest in seeing it because it does not have Peter Sellers in it.

 Return of the Pink Panther DVD Review - MovieWeb
Mixed with the simplicity of the images and a soundtrack that never gets in the way, The Return of The Pink Panther is the kind of movie that even at 2 hours is meant to be watched again and again.
Interestingly, what I think has hurt these movies (for me anyway) is the fact that the Pink Panther is such an iconic cartoon image.
If you have not seen any of The Pink Panther movies, as far as I am concerned The Return of The Pink Panther is as good a place as any to start.

 Pink Panther, The / The Return of the Pink Panther - Music from the Movies
Henry Mancini is best known for his music to light-hearted comedies, usually with a touch of thriller mode or drama, even though his musical legacy shows that he also wrote music to other film genres.
His number one theme is undeniably the one written for The Pink Panther films.
Like John Barry's music to the James Bond films I think Henry Mancini did a wonderful job on the series of Pink Panther films, ranging from 1964 to 1993.

 The Return of the Pink Panther :: Dvd   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Comment: Peter Sellers' return to the role that won him the attention of film goers a decade earlier was a terrific day for comedy film making.
Return of the Pink Panther, while not of the same calibre as The Pink Panther or the magnificent Shot in the Dark, was and is an infinite improvement over the game but failed Alan Arkin sequel, Inspector Clouseau.
While A Shot in the Dark and The Pink Panther Strikes Back are more humourous, this film is nearly as entertaining and well worth setting aside two hours to enjoy.

 No "Return" in Pink Panther Collection? - HobbyTalk
The rights to "Return of the Pink Panther" belong to Artisan Entertainment I think it is. Maybe at some point MGM will get the rights and be able to make a "complete" set of Panther films.
The Pink Panther in the first movie was a diamond that was stolen.
Regarding the final Pink Panther film: there was one more after the Ted Wass film, which starred Roberto Begnini (sp?) as an illegitimate offspring of Clouseau.

Peter Sellers's third go-around as the prideful but bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau, The Return of the Pink Panther 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).
However it is such a shame that the pink panther series are not more reddily available in the U.K. Sellers was one of our best Comic actors and we should have his films available.
Peter Sellers builds the character well from the previous films, and turns in one of the best scenes in ANY Pink Panther film when he is in the same room as a vacuum cleaner and a parrot.

The film opens with a prologue explaining what the Pink Panther is - a huge diamond that has a flaw inside that appears to be a (you guessed it) pink panther when it catches the light.
