DVD Reviews of CURSE OF THE PINK PANTHER (DVD MOVIE)
DVD Review: Ted Wass is VERY good in a difficult situation!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't imagine having to even TRY to fill Peter Seller's shoes by being the bumbling detective type in a movie with the NAME and namesake of Pink Panther. Ted Wass does a fabulous job of making this role his own.
PEOPLE, he is not TRYING to be Peter Sellers!! Get a clue (or a cleau-a as the case may be)! Wass is brilliant in this movie as the guy who truly can't figure out how he wound up in this situation (and recall please that he wound up in this situation because a computer was created to find a detective EXACTLY like Clouseau who could then find Clouseau...there is a hilarious bit in which everyone inputs their impressions of Clouseau using adjectives like: brilliant, master of disguise, genius and so forth - however Dreyfus DOES NOT WANT another Clouseau on his hands so he sets the computer on OPPOSITE...the hilarious result of course is that he ends up with someone who really is LIKE Clouseau...the opposite of brilliant and genius!!) This bit alone would put Blake Edwards' final tribute to the Pink series up there with the likes of A Shot In the Dark.
No, it isn't "Return" and it doesn't have Peter Sellers who truly was a genius, but it does have the same kind of comic relief that we've come to expect from the Pink Panther movies. The jobs done by Ted Wass, David Niven, and Robert Wagner are more than commendable!
Now, all that said, I won't give away the final "surprise" cameo either, but let me say this: that particular actor was AWFUL in this movie and should have been better schooled in the Clouseau accent and voice (as far as I'm concerned, this is the only Blake Edwards fall-down on the job for this film). That done, the ending would have been brilliant, not the least bit confusing as some have said, and conclusive!
Meanwhile, potential viewers, don't let the naysayers tell you this isn't worth watching! I've been patiently waiting for the DVD for my collection and am elated that it is finally on the way. If you love this series for more than just Peter Sellers, then you'll love this piece of the pie as well. If you just like the Peter Sellers role, you won't want to see this, but then you aren't really a fan of the Pink Panther movies at all, but a Sellers fan. While that's fine, hello-o-o-o-o? He isn't in this and this movie shouldn't be judged by that, but by how well it fits in the Pink Panther series - and it does so WONDERFULLY!!
Description of CURSE OF THE PINK PANTHER (DVD MOVIE)
Director Blake Edwards ignites a powder keg of laughter in this "delightful" (Boxoffice) caper involving a most inefficient search for France's most inept detective Â? using the bluntest instruments possible! Featuring David Niven (in his final screen performance), Robert Wagner, Herbert Lom, Ted Wass, and a hilarious cameo by Roger Moore, Curse of the Pink Panther overflows with "unadulterated fun" and "naughtiness" (Los Angeles Times)!With Clouseau still missing, the French president orders Clouseau's archrival Â? the dangerously deranged Dreyfus (Lom) Â? to find him. Having no such intentions, Dreyfus ingeniously hires the world's worst detective, the New York Police Department's not-so-finest Clifton Sleigh (Wass), to ensure that Clouseau is never located. But it's beginning to look like his foolproof plan could end up making him look like the fool!Bestsellers in DVD
