DVD Reviews of Return of the Pink Panther
DVD Review: pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my boyfriend, who is a big Pink Panther fan. He enjoyed it very much.DVD Review: Sellers Has Done It Again
Summary: 5 Stars
Inspector Clouseau is back! So is the Phantom but this time played by Christopher Plummer, who does an admirable job picking up where Niven left off. The only problem I have is what happened to Simone? Did Sir Charles have an affair between when he, his nephew and lover left at the end of the first film and now? Or is this just one of those unexplained phenomena in movies that falls under bad continuity? A small problem with an otherwise funny movie. Some of the best scenes involve Sellers and Herbert Lom, again playing insane Chief Inspector Dreyfuss (again another victim of bad conitinuity as he was Commissioner in A Shot in the Dark but then again after that attempt with the bomb at the end of that, I guess he could've been demoted). With this film, they begin the tradition of Clouseau and Cato tearing up their apartment. Catherine Schell, while she isn't Capucine, does a good job of playing Lady Litton. Some of my favorite scenes of her is when she starts laughing at Clouseau when he's disguised (actually the actress breaking character but yet adds to the character as it shows that she thinks Clouseau is a very little threat but finds his attempts amusing). Two alum actors from The Avengers (Peter Arne and Peter Jeffery) round out the ensemble with Arne again playing the villain. Along with the following two films, the Panther films of the 70s display hilarious bits of slapstick. In this one, which also (though shown in the previous Sellers film) displays Clouseau's many disguises, he investigates Lady Litton's hotel suite and comes to a very shocking conclusion after fiddling with a popping light bulb. Again, not a film to miss in this series.DVD Review: Peter Sellars Return As Clouseau& Blake Edwards Returns As Director.
Summary: 3 Stars
After Almost ten years,The"True"Inspector Clouseau(with apologies to Alan Arkin Fans) returns.Sellars is back,and in fine form,as Inspector Jacques Clouseau.Clouseau must once again,go on A crazy,mad-cap,adventure to recover"The Pink Panther Diamond".The film has many laugh out loud gags,"The Vacuum Cleaner Bit"in Lady Lyton's hotel room is priceless.There is also The usual assortment of wild"Clouseau disguises,the usual fight with Cato(Burt Kwouk),and Clouseau once again driving his boss Charles Dreyfuss(Herbert Lom)bonkers.While the film is very funny,what hurts it is; The film occassionally drags somewhat.Also the poor casting of Christopher Plummer and Catherine Schell as the Lytons(David Niven and Cappuccine were better in these roles).A funny film,and A good comeback for Sellars,but the film could've been better/funnier.I do recommend it,but the film that immeadiately followed,"The Pink Panther Strikes Again"is much funnier.DVD Review: I am a little embarassed, but I laughed uncontrollably....sorry.
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie at the behest of my Father that claimed it was hysterical...ordinarily my Father and I dont see eye to eye on movies, but I gave it a shot.
I laughed so hard in parts I had to pause the movie to catch my breath. I defy you not to laugh when Sellers is attempting to act suave with a fake mustache in the club and the he gets hammered in the the face by this woman dancing and gets half his mustache knocked off......frickin pricelss.
DVD Review: No wonder people call Peter Sellers a comic genius
Summary: 5 Stars
Third in the series, The Return of the Pink Panther is just chock-full of comedy. Returning is Sir Litton, The Phantom, from the first film. Regardless, the focus of any Pink Panther film is Inspector Clouseau, and this time he is as hilarious as ever. From the moment he enters on screen to the ending shot before the credits, Peter Sellers is just flat-out hilarious. Also, Herbert Lom and Burt Kwouk were great in their roles as well. What I like the most about this movie is the pacing because there's not a moment where you go, "Oh gee, when is it going to get funnier?"
I would also like to recommend A Shot in the Dark. Both ASitD and the Return of the Pink Panther are both hilarious films in their own right. What's missing from ASitD that's in this film is the timeless Pink Panther theme during the opening credits. Nevertheless, if you love this movie, you'll also love ASitD.
Description of Return of the Pink Panther
INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU IS PUT ON THE CASE WHEN THE PINK PANTHER DIAMOND IS STOLEN, WITH THE PHANTOM'S TRADEMARK GLOVE THE ONLYCLUE.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). Costar Christopher Plummer actually gets some of the most interesting screen time as a retired cat burglar whom Clouseau accuses of getting back into the business. (If it sounds like there might be a To Catch a Thief vibe mixed in here, you're right.) Herbert Lom is hilarious as Clouseau's psychologically eroding boss, and Clouseau's ritualistic collisions with valet Cato (Burt Kwouk) are great examples of Edwards's delicious comic timing. --Tom Keogh
