Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlan Arkin got the role of Clouseau because Peter Sellers was busy doing The Party (1968), directed by Blake Edwards, who was also the director of the previous Clouseau films. He was replaced by Bud Yorkin. Later, Sellers and Edwards would return to the series. With them, the original composer (Henry Mancini) also returned.
- GoofsAt 5:10 Clouseau puts on his shoes in the airplane door. After he retrieves his umbrella and steps off the plane, he falls onto a luggage cart, but his shoes are again missing (the hole in his sock is evident).
- Quotes

Inspector Jacques Clouseau: You are too modest.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are of an animated Inspector Clouseau pursuing a bank robber.

Featured review
Forget About Peter Seller's Closeau, And you might enjoy it.
When I first saw this film, I hated it. But the reason I hated it, was because I kept comparing Alan Arkin's Closeau to Peter Sellers' portrayal. Alan Arkin's portrayal of the bumbling French detective is way out of Sellar's league. I had seen several Pink Panther films before this and thought they were highly funny.
But when I watched this film again the other day, when it was shown on Sunday lunchtime, I tried to forget about the other Panther films, and Peter Sellars.
I found myself enjoying it. And I think Alan Arkin did a great job as the Inspector. Although, still nowhere near Sellars, he brings his own unique charm to the role, and when he originally took the part, it must have been a brave decision to make, knowing how much Sellars was admired for the role.
The film itself is enjoyable and worth watching. And Arkin is funny as Closeau. If you can forget about Peter Sellers playing the role, and give Arkin a chance, you might enjoy it yourself.
6/10 .
