"I believe everything and I believe nothing - I suspect everyone and I suspect no one." - Jacques Clouseau
I watched the first Pink Panther movie earlier this year and enjoyed it, so I wanted to watch a couple of the other films in the series - the first is A Shot In The Dark - which was the 2nd outing by Peter Sellers as the intrepid but bumbling Inspector Clouseau, this time he was trying to solve a murder case in which he believed th"

Rewatchilla edelleen oikein veikeä komedia ja ehkä paras Vaaleanpunainen pantteri. Yläluokkaisessa kartanossa tapahtuu murha, jonka tutkijaksi halutaan korkeampien auktoriteettien käskystä mahdollisimman ammattitaidoton säheltäjä. Toisin sanoen Sellers päästetään sekoilemaan sekä hajottamaan kartanon sisustukset kappaleiksi, ja komisario Dreyfusin tie hulluuteen on tasoitettu. Clouseaun tutkimusmetodit ovat upeat: tämän syyttömäksi uskoma pääepäilty päästetään vap"

"Ihan hauska elokuva. Vaikka aika lailla toistetaankin jo ykkösosan vitsejä, niin silti Clouseaun tohelomaisuus ja tyhmyys jaksaa naurattaa. On kyllä tässä joitakin tylsiä hetkiä, mutta muuten ihan mainio."

DIRECTED BY Blake Edwards
Now this was a fun film. Peter Sellers gives an excellent performance as the idiotic inspector Clouseau in this charmingly sixties Pink Panther film. Lots of great gags, only a few of which felt a bit worn.
It's also very well made - the flamenco café scene, for instance, is really well-conceived.
"
""Sight gags and pratfalls abound in director Blake Edwards's unadulterated farce about a sexy parlor maid (Elke Sommer) accused of killing her lothario lover. Enter the bumbling Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers), who's intent on proving the young beauty's innocence even though the evidence indicates otherwise. Clouseau will go to any lengths -- including a stakeout at a nudist camp -- to unravel the case and nail the real murderer."
