Der Fluch des rosaroten Panthers (1983)

Der Fluch des rosaroten Panthers: Directed by Blake Edwards. With David Niven, Robert Wagner, Herbert Lom, Joanna Lumley. Ensuing after the events of Clouseau’s disappearance, his bosses at the Surete put a computer into service to elect a new shrewd detective, Sleigh, who turns up just as inept as Clouseau.

“After Peter Sellers passed away, the producers of the u0026quot;Pink Pantheru0026quot; franchise tried to carry on without their star. As evidenced in u0026quot;Inspector Clouseau,u0026quot; having another actor play the bumbling French detective was not the answer. They tried to fill the void left by Sellers with old footage, in u0026quot;Trail of the Pink Panther.u0026quot; Then they tried to introduce a new character, a counterpart to Clouseau. Thus was created u0026quot;Curse of the Pink Panther.u0026quot; Ted Wass plays the newcomer, an amazingly inept New York cop named Clifton Sleigh, who is chosen to investigate Clouseauu0026#39;s disappearance. His act is loaded with slapstick, in attempt to copy Clouseauu0026#39;s style. However, itu0026#39;s not the same. Also appearing in u0026quot;Curseu0026quot; is a load of actors from all the previous u0026quot;Pink Pantheru0026quot; movies, including Herbert Lom as Chief Inspector Dreyfus, Burt Kwouk as Kato, and David Niven as Sir Charles Lytton. Watch it if you must, but youu0026#39;ll be reminded of how Peter Sellers will be missed.”
