The inimitable Peter Sellers strikes again as Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau, in this fourth installment of the classic “Pink Panther” series, “The Pink Panther Strikes Again,” directed by Blake Edwards. Given the fact that the assessment of comedy is intrinsically subjective, this film is arguably laugh for laugh and glimpse gag for explore gag the funniest of the five (followed closely by the second of the series, the hilarious farce, “A Shot In The Dim) . In this one, ragged Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is about to be released from the mental hospital– in which he has resided since being driven crazy by Clouseau– when on the very afternoon of his hearing he is visited by none other than Clouseau himself, who has approach to tell on behalf of his faded boss. Suffice to say that by the time Clouseau is through “helping,” he is driven from the premises by the relapsed, raving madman, Dreyfus. And it’s only the beginning of the inept French Inspector’s antics that, before it is over, will include a drag to the Ocktoberfest, encounters with a dozen hit-men from around the world, a heavenly Russian leer named Olga (Lesley-Anne Down), a surprise Egyptian perceive (who will remain nameless) and a one-man assault on a castle. As Laurel and Hardy proved so many times before, for every action there is a reaction; a theorem of which proof is unequivocally provided here by the relationship between Sellers and Lom. This was the film in which Edwards and his stars not only further devised, but honed to perfection, their foolproof formula for laughs: After the “first wave” of hilarity provided by Sellers, it is followed up– in honest enough instances to be totally effective– by Lom’s reaction to 1.) Sellers directly (as in the first, classic scene at the mental hospital), or 2.) Lom’s reaction to Seller’s antics as they are related to him by a third party. It’s a one-two punch that never fails and which, in achieve, derives twice the fun from a single gag. And it’s shiny. But at the waste of the day, it must be well-known that there is one element above all else that accounts for the success of this film, and that, of course, is the Man himself, Peter Sellers. Sellers must be regarded as– if not “the,” then at least one of the– funniest actors ever to grace the silver cover. There was no destroy to the ways he could construct you laugh; from the subtlest expression– an peek averted or perhaps the tiny raising of an eyebrow– to the broadest slapstick, it was all within his personal domain, and he was the Master. Physically, practically all he had to do to accept a laugh was present up; believe the scene in which he arrives at the hospital to visit Dreyfus: As he saunters across the lawn of the sizable grounds surrounding the buildings, a croquet mallet and ball lying to one side catches his eye; there is fair the slightest hesitation in his step, the subtlest change of expression in his eyes and the merest inclination of the head. And there, in that briefest of moments upon the shroud, you know– beyond the shadow of a doubt– what is about to transpire. And you’re right; a moment later Clouseau has the mallet in his hand and his foot on the ball, and even as it’s happening– impartial as you knew it would in that split second before it did– he has you on the floor laughing. That was the gift– and the genius– of Peter Sellers. Was every film he made a classic? A broad film? Of course not; but you would be hard attach to get a single performance of his, even in a abominable film (Like 1970’s “There’s A Girl In My Soup”), that did not embody that unusual spark that defined him. It was certainly alive in his portrayal of Clouseau (possibly the definitive Seller’s character), and in retrospect, what a shame it seems that there were only five “Panther” movies ever made. But so it is, and shall ever be. The supporting cast includes Burt Kwouk (as the ever faithful and attacking manservant, Cato), Andre Maranne (Francois), Colin Blakely (Alec Drummond), Leonard Rossiter (Inspector Quinlan), Richard Vernon (Dr. Fassbender), Briony McRoberts (Margo) and Michael Robbins (Jarvis) . A droll movie that showcases one of Cinema’s truly original and amusing actors, “The Pink Panther Strikes Again” is a side-splitting, fun movie you can perceive over and over and never grow tired of. The best of the series, it stands as a heavenly tribute to the comedic genius of Peter Sellers.
This is my all time approved Pink Panther film. I consider that I like it the best of the series as is dwells so totally on Herbert Lom’s madness, which is, of course, entirely caused by Clouseau. The opening scene of the film sets the bound, with the lustrous slapstick ‘Dreyfus in the lake’ segment (I am particularly fond of the role of the rake in that scene.)
The characterizations of Dreyfus and Clouseau are totally unbelievable in this film. Watching Dreyfus tumble into total madness is one of the all time greatest humorous performances. Sellers as Clouseau is fantastic playing off of Lom, in such spacious segments as the ‘hallucinatory dentist’ and the ‘hunchback and the bomber’ scenes. This film is remarkable less subtle than my other celebrated from the series “A Shot in the Shadowy”, but what it loses in subtlety, it gains in situational humor unrivalled in any other comedy (”Does your dog bite? “…”No.”…”I concept you said your dog did not bite.”…”That is not my dog.”) Only Sellers could gain these scenes work, and work they do, brilliantly so.
There are so many titanic scenes and lines that I couldn’t possibly list them. Some of the best lines ever written for a comedy are in this film. To go with the brilliance of the script, the righteous direction from Blake Edwards, the always racy captivating credits, the delicate sets, the acting from everyone, led, of course, by Sellers and Lom, is letter perfect.

The DVD is an suitable transfer, and very great to view. The only accurate options are language and subtitle related, though there is an new trailer. I would have loved to have seen some outtakes as extras. Reportedly the cast frequently broke up laughing during the filming of this movie, and there is no wonder, given how comic the material is.
I first saw this in the theater when I was a kid. I loved it so noteworthy then that I went abet several more times, and never tired of it. Now, almost thirty years later, I quiet never tire of this film. If you haven’t seen “The Pink Panther Strikes Again”, by all means do so at once. If you have, it’s time to pick up reacquainted with a luminous broken-down friend!
