Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of Catherine Schell's (Lady Litton's) laughter is genuine. Peter Sellers (Inspector Jacques Clouseau) made her laugh so hard once the camera was rolling, she had a real problem keeping a straight face in many of her scenes with him. This resulted in writer, producer, and director Blake Edwards giving up on trying to get her to react like she was supposed to in the script.
- GoofsThe "jumping light bulb" changes places just before Clouseau discovers it.
- Quotes
Blind beggar: I am a musician and the monkey is a businessman. He doesn't tell me what to play, and I don't tell him what to do with his money.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, the Pink Panther's actions and costumes provide references to Carmen Miranda, Esther Williams, Charles Chaplin, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Groucho Marx, George Raft and Boris Karloff (as Frankenstein's monster).
- Alternate versionsThe first DVD release, put out by Artisan Entertainment, did not feature the original 2.35:1 aspect ratio version of the film. Instead, the pan-and-scan version of the film was cropped, and the DVD was presented in a matted aspect ratio of 1.85:1--approximately 25% of the screen was lost in this process.
- ConnectionsEdited into Trail of the Pink Panther (1982)
Featured review
ALWAYS A FAVORITE!
This is one of my all time favorite peter sellers movies, It has been on AMC any number of times and each time I catch it on, i stop what i'm doing and watch it again.....it just never seems to grow old. Some of my fav. scenes are any one of the ones with CATO in them, when he and Insp. C. go around and around tearing up the kitchen,and making a terrible mess of everything. Also when he and the vacuum cleaner and the bird, oh my what a riot. And the lamp, and on and on. Especially when the Chief INspector keeps getting hurt, sorry, but its still funny.........as he goes on getting more mad by the moment.... Of course, there's Christopher Plummer in this movie too, I always was fond of him,esp. after seeing him in Sound Of Music some years before this movie. Thanks to AMC we are able to keep viewing some of these comedic classics for years to come.
