THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER (1975)
D: Blake Edwards ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
Peter Sellers, Christopher Plummer, Catherine Schell,
Herbert Lom, Victor Spinetti, Burt Kwouk
The second entry in the Blake Edwards/Peter Sellers/Pink Panther franchise (or the third, if you count "A Shot In the Dark"), with Inspector Clouseau again stumbling after the world's most famous diamond. This is the Pink Panther movie where a man gets his fingers broken on the installment plan, and Chief Inspector Dreyfus, trying to light a cigarette with a loaded revolver, accidentally shoots off his nose. Clouseau's fractured French accent adds a whole new dimension to words like "room", "license", and "monkey".
