Profile of The Return of the Pink Panther

The mood of The Return of the Pink Panther is humorous, witty, and exciting. The plot centers around a goofy hero, fighting crime, and chases. It features a comedy of errors and slapstick humor. The Return of the Pink Panther is a comedy and crime movie. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, at a resort. The Return of the Pink Panther is set in France. It happens in the 20th century. The movie is known for being critically acclaimed.

Summary of The Return of the Pink Panther

RETURN is the third installment in the popular Pink Panther series and a reunion for director Blake Edwards and comedian Peter Sellers, who had not made a Panther film since A SHOT IN THE DARK a decade earlier. This time the bumbling French detective Inspector Clouseau is reluctantly called back into service by Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) when someone swipes the infamous Pink Panther diamond from the museum in Lugash. The prime suspect is the smoothly aristocratic jewel thief Sir Charles Lytton (Christopher Plummer), aka the Phantom. Clouseau creates his usual comic mayhem in an assortment of European watering holes as he attempts to track down the jet-setting criminal. While Lytton, who is, on this rare occasion, innocent of the crime in question, joins in the pursuit of the real criminals to avoid arrest, his lovely wife, Claudine (Catherine Schell), leads the myopic Clouseau on a wild-goose chase. As usual, Clouseau's creative methods of deduction drive Inspector Dreyfus ever closer to the brink of insanity. Sellers's comic genius is set off by a fine cast and spectacular European locations, including Gstaad and the French Riviera as well as Marakesh and Casablanca.

Inspector Clouseau is called back to find out who stole the Pink Panther diamond. This is an excellent comedy, with a good amount of crime as well. Inspector Clouseau has always been sort of an icon for me, and I especially enjoy all the chaos and...
