About this product

Product Information

Peter Sellers returns as the world's most accident-prone detective in the second film of Blake Edwards' Pink Panther series. When Maria Gambrelli (Elke Sommer), a parlormaid in the employ of Parisian plutocrat Benjamin Ballon (George Sanders), is accused of murdering her lover, Clouseau is assigned to the case. The bumbling detective insists on the young beauty's innocence--much to the dismay of Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom)--despite significant evidence to the contrary. Even after Maria is caught red-handed (holding bloody shears, to be precise) near the body of a murdered gardener, Clouseau remains intent on her innocence, and continues to free her from prison time and time again. When the corpse of the Ballons' former maid, Dudu (Ann Lynn), turns up, all evidence leads to Maria's involvement, but not, of course, in the eyes of the wily Clouseau. Clouseau takes care to thoroughly investigate every angle of the case (even if it does require a stakeout at a nudist colony) to nab the real killer. Or could it have been Maria all along? Possibly the best entry in the long-running series, this rapid-fire farce is a showcase for Sellers, whose perfectly timed deadpan verbal mangling and virtuoso displays of physical ineptitude define comic genius. As always, the film is unimaginable without Henry Mancini's catchy score.

    A Shot In the Dark

    Of all the Peter Seller's movies regarding the Pink Panther, the only ones good are the original Pink Panther (1964) & A Shot in the Dark. The rest are just repeat and repeat. They are not that good. A Shot in the Dark is worth buying.

    The first real Inspector Clouseau movie

    Introducing Kato. Clouseau commissions Kato to attack him whenever and wherever possible and then cancels the attack order in Revenge of The Pink Panther. Low budget film compared to the rest, but hilarious. Also introduced is Commissioner Dreyfus. Revenge speaks of Clouseau surving 16 assassination attempts, 2 by Dreyfus

    Wonderfully funny movie

    I love this movie. I had seen it years ago, and laughed all the way through it. It's Peter Sellers at this best, along with Herbert Lom. You won't be disappointed. I also love the music! It's a family favorite.
