DVD Reviews of The Pink Panther [Blu-ray]
DVD Review: Think Pink
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen most of the other ones. I really liked this one. If you are in to the Pink Panther movies, this is a must have.DVD Review: Blu ray is superb!!
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, this is not a comparison of the The Pink Panther with Peter Sellers versus the remake with Steve Martin. There is no comparison. One is classic comedy at its best -- the other a cheesy remake.
This blu-ray edition is superb. I judge my blu-ray discs with "Mamma Mia" as the standard of excellence. The color and clarity of the PP are first-class. Considering that the movie was shot in 1964 they have
done a marvelous job.
DVD Review: The Pink Panther - Peter Sellers - always a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The Pink Panther with its excellent cast remains an original classic and a great film to watch over time because of its nostalgia of the mid-1960s and the chemistry between this blend of interesting characters. The zany humor of Peter Sellers, introduction of two beautiful women, Capucine and Claudia Cardinale, and a brief scene-stealing performance by the lovely Fran Jeffries dancing and singing are gems that make Blake Edwards' original version of this film impossible to replicate with as much success and popularity as this film has maintained over the last several decades. David Niven's performance is also very entertaining as is Robert Wagner, and an unforgettable musical score by Henry Mancini make this a timeless classic.DVD Review: No one can ever top Peter Sellers version
Summary: 5 Stars
Steve Martin should never have tried to remake this movie; it is
a classic. Sellers is a great physical commedian and does a fine
"French" accent. Herbert Lom is the perfect foil for the Inspector.
DVD Review: an unmatched comedy classic!
Summary: 4 Stars
The original and still the best title from the long-running series, THE PINK PANTHER (1963) is filled with director Blake Edwards' successful concoction of hilarious free-for-all slapstick sequences and sly, subtle comedy screenwriting.
When the beautiful Middle-Eastern Princess Dala (Claudia Cardinale) leaves her homeland and takes the priceless 'Pink Panther' diamond necklace with her, she becomes a ripe target for a notorious, high-society jewel thief. Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers) and his gorgeous wife Simone (Capucine) are dispatched to the ski lodge where the Princess is holidaying to try and expose the thief. But unbeknowst to Clouseau, the thief is closer than he ever thought possible...and his own wife is in on the plot!
Co-starring David Niven as the suave cat-burglar, Robert Wagner as his nephew; and singing sensation Fran Jeffries, THE PINK PANTHER is an endless comedy delight that only improves each time you see it. Marvel at the comic genius that was Peter Sellers, revel in the unmatched European grace and beauty of Capucine, and swing along to the catchy Henry Mancini score.
A no-brainer purchase. This belongs on every movie shelf.
Description of The Pink Panther [Blu-ray]
Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 01/27/2009 Run time: 115 minutes Rating: NrThe history of film comedy would have been much altered if Peter Ustinov had stayed in the role of Jacques Clouseau, the bumbling French police inspector in The Pink Panther. But Ustinov dropped out, the role went to Peter Sellers, and a classic character was born: suspicious, blundering, with a pompous little mustache and a sometimes impenetrable accent, Clouseau was always one step behind everybody else in the room. The Pink Panther introduced Clouseau hot on the trail of a famous jewel thief (David Niven), who may be planning to make off with an expensive gem known as the Pink Panther. Set in a European ski resort, this bubbly comedy is a wonderful dose of '60s style, from the famous Henry Mancini theme music to the presence of two of Europe's top sex symbols of the era, Claudia Cardinale and Capucine. The film also introduced the popular cartoon Pink Panther, slinking around to Mancini's music in an animated credits sequence. The film's success brought a follow-up, A Shot in the Dark, also released in 1964; after 11 years, Sellers and top comedy director Blake Edwards (10) returned with three more sequels. --Robert Horton
