Storyline

Seventh in Blake Edwards' Pink Panther series. The Pink Panther diamond is stolen once again from Lugash and the authorities call in Chief Inspector Clouseau from France. His plane disappears en-route. This time, famous French TV reporter Marie Jouvet sets out to solve the mystery and starts to interview everybody connected to Clouseau. Each interviewee Dreyfus, Sir Charles & Lady Lytton (and ex-wife of Clouseau) & George Lytton, Hercule Lajoie (assistant in "A Shot In The Dark") and Cato tells of their run-ins with Clouseau. She is also kidnapped by mobster Bruno Langlois who doesn't want Clouseau found but she continues and finds Clouseau Sr, Clouseau's father. Is Clouseau alive or is he dead? Each interview has not-have-seen or famous clips from the previous movies (since Peter Sellers has sadly passed away) as Marie continues to get a honest view or impression of the great French detective...

Goofs

Factual errors: At the mental hospital, Dreyfus recites some phrases that rhyme. These are identified by the psychiatrist, Dr. Longet, as the lyrics to the song "You Go To My Head". He (supposedly a jazz expert) attributes the authorship to Cole Porter - a very common mistake. Porter is not the composer of either the music or the lyrics to "You Go To My Head". The authors are J. Fred Coots (music) and Haven Gillespie (lyrics). See more »

Quotes

Marie Jouvet: Ah, you've just passed the hotel.
Taxi Driver: Yes, ma'am.
Marie Jouvet: But that's where I wanted to go.
Taxi Driver: You see that car following us?
Marie Jouvet: Oh, what about it?
Taxi Driver: Well, the two men in that car suggested I drop you off at another address.
Marie Jouvet: What are you talking about?
Taxi Driver: Actually it was more like a threat than a suggestion.
Marie Jouvet: They threatened you?
Taxi Driver: Well, one of them showed me his brand new gun.
