    Not the worst of The Pink Panther films, if you include the diabolical Steve Martin atrocities, but definitely the worst of the Peter Sellers Panther films.

    Many '60s classics don't really work for modern audiences for some reason or another. I was expecting more of the same here, but I'm happy to report that this one still holds up. While the first act is painfully slow, once some actual capers start taking place the movie finds its voice. There were some truly hilarious bits.

    Peter Sellers was a comic genius. No matter how many times I watch his Pink Panther boxet, it leaves me in stitches.

    “The Pink Panther” marks the first time Peter Sellers steps into the role of Inspector Clouseau, shaping the character through accent, posture, and an unwavering, misplaced confidence. The performance isn’t loud or frantic; it’s precise, almost surgical. For anyone who appreciates performance-driven comedy and careful character work, Sellers’ Clouseau remains sharp and controlled. The film’s elegance gives it a lasting quality, and Henry Mancini’s instantly recognizable score adds a sense of permanence that extends well beyond the story itself.
