The Return of the Pink Panther
Directed by Blake Edwards
Produced by Jewel Productions, Pimlico Films
A lighthearted, slapstick comedy mystery built around an incompetent inspector's bumbling pursuit of a jewel thief, prioritizing physical humor and charm over genuine suspense.
The famous Pink Panther jewel has once again been stolen and Inspector Clouseau is called in to catch the thief. The Inspector is convinced that 'The Phantom' has returned and utilises all of his resources – himself and his Asian manservant – to reveal the identity of 'The Phantom'.
