This film is a great film; perhaps a little more "way out" in the death ray premise than the other films in the series but that really does not detract from it. ALL the Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies are absolutely great and you can't go wrong by viewing them. Other people have submitted comments and reviews that give a better look at this movie than what I can. Still, I am making a comment as I feel an important aspect of this movie has been mainly overlooked by other commentators to IMDb. This concerns whey this movie may never be shown on American network TV again. There are, in fact, actually two main problems with it ever being shown again on television. The first reason is due to the White House scenes that are a parody themselves on the Gerald Ford administration, some thirty years ago. Unless you were an adult or teenager living in the United States then you probably don't realize the extent and nature of the parody. The second, and unfortunately sadder, reason why this film will probably not be shown again on American TV is the scene where the United Nations building is "erased". This hits a serious note that is "too close to home" considering the real life destruction of the World Trade Towers on 9/11/2001. Particularly as these towers can be seen in the New York skyline during this part of the movie.
