About this product

Product Information

Peter Sellers returns as the world's most accident-prone detective in the second film of Blake Edwards' Pink Panther series. When Maria Gambrelli (Elke Sommer), a parlormaid in the employ of Parisian plutocrat Benjamin Ballon (George Sanders), is accused of murdering her lover, Clouseau is assigned to the case. The bumbling detective insists on the young beauty's innocence--much to the dismay of Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom)--despite significant evidence to the contrary. Even after Maria is caught red-handed (holding bloody shears, to be precise) near the body of a murdered gardener, Clouseau remains intent on her innocence, and continues to free her from prison time and time again. When the corpse of the Ballons' former maid, Dudu (Ann Lynn), turns up, all evidence leads to Maria's involvement, but not, of course, in the eyes of the wily Clouseau. Clouseau takes care to thoroughly investigate every angle of the case (even if it does require a stakeout at a nudist colony) to nab the real killer. Or could it have been Maria all along? Possibly the best entry in the long-running series, this rapid-fire farce is a showcase for Sellers, whose perfectly timed deadpan verbal mangling and virtuoso displays of physical ineptitude define comic genius. As always, the film is unimaginable without Henry Mancini's catchy score.

A Shot In the Dark
Of all the Peter Seller's movies regarding the Pink Panther, the only ones good are the original Pink Panther (1964) & A Shot in the Dark. The rest are just repeat and repeat. They are not that good. A Shot in the Dark is worth buying.

A Classic "Shot"
Blake Edwards' Director's Commentary in "The Pink Panther" reveals that "A Shot in the Dark" was not a planned follow-up to then-recently released "The Pink Panther", but was instead, a drastic re-write and re-work of a film that Peter Sellers was already contracted to do. After the conclusion of filming for "Pink Panther", Sellers brought the script (from a stage play) to Edwards and begged assistance on it. (Sets were already in construction for the film.) Edwards told him the only way he could see the film working was to re-write it completely for the character of Inspector Clouseau that Sellers had created for "Pink Panther", where he had been a last-minute replacement for Peter Ustinov. Edwards' production team gained the rights, and a classic was born. "Shot in the Dark" ... Blake Edwards' Director's Commentary in "The Pink Panther" reveals that "A Shot in the Dark" was not a planned follow-up to then-recently released "The Pink Panther", but was instead, a drastic re-write and re-work of a film that Peter Sellers was already contracted to do. After the conclusion of filming for "Pink Panther", Sellers brought the script (from a stage play) to Edwards and begged assistance on it. (Sets were already in construction for the film.) Edwards told him the only way he could see the film working was to re-write it completely for the character of Inspector Clouseau that Sellers had created for "Pink Panther", where he had been a last-minute replacement for Peter Ustinov. Edwards' production team gained the rights, and a classic was born. "Shot in the Dark" introduces the mainstays of the "Panther" movies: Herbert Lom being driven crazy as Chief Inspector Dreyfus; Burt Kwok's role of Cato comes in from left field as Clouseau orders him to attack him at all times; and the pattern of countless deaths occurring around Clouseau, to which he is completely oblivious. Interestingly, there is no reference to his wife of the first film in "Shot". Also, Sellers' friend Graham Stark is perfect as the suffering side-kick Hercule in "Shot" and Stark appears in all the subsequent "Panther" films in one role or another. This is my favorite of the Panther films, as Sellers' enthusiasm for the role is clear, and the plot (adapted from a very different stage play) is a very driving force in the film. Also, Henry Mancini's score is just outstanding in this picture, and in fact, occupies the entire first 10 minutes or so of the film, with the lovely song "Shadows of Paris" used as a backdrop for the introduction of the affairs of the Ballon household, followed by four gunshots, then driving right into the main "Shot in the Dark" theme, which was used for the "Inspector" portions of the old cartoon series. This theme is performed in the buff by Mancini's band at one point in the movie. About the only thing I've never figured out is all of the English accents used in the film set in France, but the movie is still great. -Bob

The first real Inspector Clouseau movie
Introducing Kato. Clouseau commissions Kato to attack him whenever and wherever possible and then cancels the attack order in Revenge of The Pink Panther. Low budget film compared to the rest, but hilarious. Also introduced is Commissioner Dreyfus. Revenge speaks of Clouseau surving 16 assassination attempts, 2 by Dreyfus

Wonderfully funny movie
I love this movie. I had seen it years ago, and laughed all the way through it. It's Peter Sellers at this best, along with Herbert Lom. You won't be disappointed. I also love the music! It's a family favorite.
