Curse of the Pink Panther

Curse of the Pink Panther

He's been bombed, blasted and plugged in the parachute... Is this any way to welcome the World's Greatest Detective?

Directed by Blake Edwards

Produced by Titan Productions, United Artists

1983109 min4.6 / 10

A lighthearted slapstick comedy built on mistaken identity and bumbling incompetence, where physical comedy and absurd situations drive the humor.

Inspector Clouseau disappears, and the Surete wants the world's second best detective to look for him. However, Clouseau's enemy, Dreyfus, rigs the Surete's computer to select, instead, the world's WORST detective, NYPD Sgt. Clifton Sleigh. Sleigh obtusely bungles his way past assassins and corrupt officials as though he were Clouseau's American cousin.
