The Worst Film Ever

best movie i've ever seen.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I saw the original Pink Panther movie and I liked it, but didn't think it was the masterpiece like a lot of people thought it was. Well, this is considered to be even better and I certainly agree! I'm not the biggest Inspector Closeau fan, but this was a lot of fun. It helps that we escalate the slapstick and everything just keeps on going. I guess the best part is that Closeau plays it straight. Well, he at least tries to play it straight. The other characters are much more intellectual and do a better job playing it straight. It's great to see him be confronted by everyone else.Can I just say that the opening animated credits were some of the best I've ever seen? I'm surprised they didn't have, well, the Pink Panther in them. It does get a little slow in the middle, but it all pays off in the end. I realize that I'm not much of a fan of murder mysteries, but what better way than to do a parody of them? Many people do consider this the best in the whole series and of the numerous I have seen, I agree with them. It helps that Peter Sellers as Closeau is so funny. I knew the name Kato was a shout out to the Green Hornet. ***1/2

Adapted from a stageplay and not originally written for the screen. Elke Sommer was a fabulous, smoldering, blonde bombshell. This is perhaps her most famous film role ever, as the "French Maid" who appears incredibly guilty of committing a series of murders and is arrested repeatedly. Only bumbling Clouseau believes her to be innocent because she is so beautiful! Without a doubt the best of the so-called "Pink Panther" series and there isn't a single Pink Panther or Pink Diamond in sight! The most famous "clean nudity" scenes of all time, from the tour bus peering down into their little car to the famous guitar and air mattress for Peter Seller's front and rear-end modesty. Besides strategically-placed fluffy-blonde hair, not much else covers Elke's "assets" at all. A wonderful conclusion as it turns out that several people are guilty of the multiple murders as they are all "acts" of passion. Hint: Enjoy the movie, and be aware that the ending is a big bomb!

Here we go again! Inspector Jacques Clouseau(Peter Sellers) is on the case. This time, it's not the Pink Panther diamond. He on a murder case in a mansion. People have been going in and out of rooms there. Then suddenly, shots ring out, and everyone is a suspect. The main suspect is the chauffeur's lover (Elke Sommer)who had an affair with the decedent. Clouseau's boss (Herbert Lom) has taken him off the case so many times, that he gets him reinstated again. Despite being inept, Clouseau seems to be persistent on finding out more about the crime. Then there's the scene where Clouseau goes to a nudist colony to find a dead body, and a hilarious scene where he and the maid get out only to be arrested in the city for indecent exposure. Back in the mansion, everyone is a suspect. No one is innocent of indiscretion. But none of them is the killer. The victim is Clouseau. The killer, his own boss, Dreyfuss! That's sad that your own boss wants to get rid of your, seriously! Funny is the to describe it. Instead of finding a jewel thief, it's a mystery of finding out who done it. Everything is good in this film. 5 stars

Not so much a sequel to "The Pink Panther" as a continuation of the adventures of Jacques Clouseau, who this time is investigating a murder that involves him with the beautiful Elke Sommer. Features the debut of Herbert Lom as frustrated Chief Inspector Dreyfuss, and Burt Kwouk as Cato, Clouseau's servant.Very funny outing has some inspired gags and scenes, as the crazy plot unfolds in a hectic manner, leading to a twist ending. Despite not having the "Pink Panther" in the title, the actual title of "A Shot In The Dark" is still appropriate, though it would be 11 years until Peter Sellers and the panther would return...
