Review of Inspector Clouseau (1968) by Muffin M — 06 Mar 2013

Here we have the first black sheep of The Pink Panther series, in that it doesn't star Sellers, wasn't directed by Edwards and wasn't scored by Mancini. Admittedly, as soon as the film starts, its hard not to miss the Inspector Clouseau we know from before.

.. honestly though, Arkin is more than great with his attempt to fill some massive shoes. Had Sellers continued to shun the role, I could see Arkin as a pretty worthy replacement. This entry to the lunacy seems to have fallen through the cracks, but I'm not sure why.

.. it follows the formula beautifully.
