Written on July 26, 2005 Summary: "What kind of bomb was it? The explosive kind." Simply marvelous and really funny. From the stunningly and witty animated title sequence (with spoofs to King Kong, The Sound of Muisc, Alfre Hitchcock Presents, Batman, Singing in the Rain, Dracula and the Buster Keaton movies) you get the picture to what a great movie it will be. Best Sellers in a Blake Edwards movie. We get to see him in an laugh out loud hunchback disguise with an "inflatable" hump. It can also be considered the prequel to Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove as they talk about the Doomsday Machine.  Written on February 9, 2005 Summary: My Favorite Panther I saw this movie at 13 when it was released during the holidays in 1976 (its big competition was Dino De Laurentis' KING KONG), and I think the Panther won. I absolutely loved it: they pulled out all the stops with this one. From Chief Inspector Dreyfus's relapse in the opening scene (it was great to see Herbert Lom giving such an inspired comic performance this time out: he's wonderful!) to the animated homage to movies in the titles to the wacky James Bond ending, THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN was and remains my favorite Panther movie. A SHOT IN THE DARK is also great, but STRIKES AGAIN is where I found the biggest belly laughs. If you're a Panther fan, you've probably seen the recent bio pic, THE LIFE & DEATH OF PETER SELLERS (Geoffery Rush deservedly won a Golden Globe for his performance). I've read the book on which it's based (the original 1000-plus page British version, no less) and MR. STRANGELOVE by Ed Sikov, along with several biographies of Stanley Kubrick. Obviously, Mr. Sellers had issues. I'd always wondered why there had been a ten-year gap between the first two films (1964's THE PINK PANTHER and 1965's A SHOT IN THE DARK) and the rest (starting with 1975's RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER). It's unfortunate that Sellers had so little regard for what was probably his most popular character, and that he put poor Blake Edwards through such a volatile process every time, but at least a couple genuine comedy classics came together. DR. STRANGELOVE is Sellers's greatest performance, but Inspector Clouseau is his funniest. All the scenes work and this is the Panther film I recommend to everyone. Lesley Ann Down is stunning as the Russian agent, and look fast for Blake Edwards in a cameo in the gay bar (he's wearing sunglasses and checking out Clouseau--who, typically, can't quite figure out where he's at at first). I even bought the soundtrack album and remember Tom Jones singing "Come To Me" at the Oscars that year. (If I remember correctly, the Best Song went to "You Light Up My Life"). I've seen the trailer for the upcoming movie with Steve Martin as Clouseau...but he, or no one else for that matter, will ever nail it like Peter Sellers. Written on January 29, 2005 Summary: The most insane of the Clouseau films This is the most insane of all the Clouseau (Pink Panther) films. Dreyfus escapes from an insane asylum willing to destroy the world in order to save it from Clouseau. He puts together a master plot, bending a scientist to his bidding by torturing his daughter (by scratching metal fingernails on a blackboard). Using the death ray created by the scientist, Dreyfus compels the world's governments to send their best assassins to kill Clouseau in order to save themselves from further annihilation. You already know that Clouseau cannot be killed and will be oblivious to all that is going on around him. Much of this movie is absolutely hilarious. We also get the unbelievably beautiful Lesley-Anne Downe as the assassin Olga Barisova. Omar Shariff also does a turn as an assassin and does a service that actually ends up saving Clouseau from Barisova. Dreyfus even has a scene playing the organ as a Phantom of the Opera kind of madman. It is hard to see how Dreyfus could return after the ending of this movie, but of course, he did. This movie takes Clouseau off in a much different direction than the other movies and is so overwhelmingly insane that it might be too much for some. However, I liked the laughs.  Written on August 27, 2004 Summary: Pink Panther Strikes Again Review This Pink Panther movie is not as good as A Shot In The Dark or the original Pink Panther. However, it is quite entertaining. Peter Sellers is funny as usual. Written on August 7, 2004 Summary: Herbert Lom is a delight. This is the fifth "Pink Panther" film in the series, but the fourth for Peter Sellers. This film was released during the USA Bicentennial Year 1976. The first films in the series are: The Pink Panther (1964). A Shot In The Dark (1964), Inspector Clouseau (1968), The Return of the Pink Panther (1975). Blake Edwards does it again. Produced, directed and screenplay by Blake Edwards. Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) has been in a mental hospital all year long. It's all because of Inspector Clouseau and you know why. They just simply can not be in the same room. Dreyfus has even gave up smoking. The psychiatrist believes that Dreyfus seeing Clouseau again or just the mention of his name will put Dreyfus back into the deep end of going crazy. Dreyfus feels sane and fine, perhaps they will release him now. From here this film offers you many laughs right from the start and Dreyfus is really out to kill Clouseau. Omar Sharif and Lesley-Anne Down also in film. Herbert Lom is really a delight in this film and his very best. The next films in the series are: Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978). Trail of the Pink Panther (1982). Curse of the Pink Panther (1983). Son of the Pink Panther (1993). Revival: The Pink Panther (2006) starring Steve Martin. ***Pink Panther 2 will be released February 6, 2009, with Steve Martin returning, but John Cleese as "Dreyfuss". |
