Matthew D @OceanSage 4d I always have such fun revisiting this bizarre time capsule of 1960s humor, fashion, and music. Director Blake Edwards’ outrageous comedy The Pink Panther (1963) is so silly, playful, and upbeat. Edwards’ warm direction makes flirtations, robberies, and investigation all ridiculous. The slapstick, verbal wit and strange encounters are all very clever. Peter Sellers obviously is the main comedic highlight as Inspector Clouseau. I honestly felt after rewatching The Pink Panther that the iconic French model and actress Capucine steals all of her scenes. Having Clouseau’s own wife be a thief is just too funny. David Niven leads the movie as the sly seducer socialite and jewel thief Sir Charles Lytton. Peters Sellers dominates all the laughs as the ludicrous Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Capucine is simply gorgeous and hysterical as Inspector Clouseau’s unfaithful wife Simone Clouseau. Fran Jeffries is deliriously fun as the sexy 60’s jazz singer in the ski lodge musical number.

Entre golpes e traições, o roubo é articulado. Clássico da comédia, o filme já começa com a animação da famosa personagem da Pantera Cor de Rosa, ao som do famoso tema, composto por Henry Mancini. O elenco está excelente nesta comédia que vai para vários subgêneros: comédia romântica, de situações ou, simplesmente, o velho pastelão. É claro que o destaque é Peter Sellers, que consegue dar veracidade às atrapalhadas do personagem, soando todas naturais e muito engraçadas.

The film looks great, there are some fine performances from the ever smooth David Niven and the ravishing Claudia Cardinale, but some sequences such as the hiding in the bedroom farce are interminable. Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau isn't as central as in the superior sequels, nor as fully formed in his accident-prone disastrousness.

Peter Sellers, David Niven, Robert Wagner, Capucine, Claudia Cardinale, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this classic movie. The plot of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's a funny crime story about stealing the most valuable diamond the Pink Panther. If you haven't seen this classic movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see. See more Alec B @Alec97 01/10/2024 For a movie that unintentionally kicked off a massive franchise, it is mostly a straightforward and well executed farce. As to Sellers specifically, he is quite funny with the caveat that the Clouseau character hadn't quite reached its full potential yet. That Mancini score is perfection.

You know how Clouseo is the main character of the Pink Panther franchise, well that wasn't what is was planned to be in the first place. A character named Sir Charles was going to be the main character of the Pink Panther movies, but the crew loved Peter Seller's impression of Clouseo so much that they made him the main character for the rest of the Pink Panther films that he was alive. The Pink Panther is supposed to be a mystery, but instead it was about romance. The Pink Panther is super overrated. I don't understand why people like this movie soo much. This movie was kind of bad. I give it a 57%. See more Read all reviews
