The Pink Panther: Pink Panther
Meet Inspector Jacques Clouseau – the bumbling French detective whose career is one gigantic banana peel. Showcasing the comic genius of Peter Sellers, this “delightful caper” (Leonard Maltin) brims with “winning charm” (The Film Daily) and clever slapstick. David Niven, Robert Wagner and Capucine co-star in the sidesplitting film that launched one of the greatest comedy series of all time!
Arriving at an Italian ski resort with a large diamond known as the Pink Panther, Princess Dala (Claudia Cardinale) encounters the suave Sir Charles (Niven), who also happens to be the notorious jewel thief The Phantom. Can Clouseau (Sellers), the clumsiest inspector ever to trip over a case, stop Sir Charles' plot…or will The Phantom steal the “cat” and leave Clouseau holding the bag?

Critic Reviews:
- " Overlong but never boring, culminating in a spectacularly silly masquerade ball full of playful mixups and misdirection and chaos. " – Mike Massie
- " ‘The Pink Panther’, the first comedy in the popular Blake Edwards franchise about Inspector Clouseau, gives me a pleasant time in which at some moments I cry with laughter at the crazy farce it shows. " – Yasser Medina
- " A comedy-thriller of unusual sprightliness and style, is the credits, a sort of bonus cartoon thrown in to put you in a good mood for the rest. " – Isabel Quigly
