But, when the famed Pink Panther diamond is stolen from the National Museum in Lugash, the Shah requests Clouseau's assistance, and he's reinstated.

Jeffery H. @RT61957740 May 4 One of the funniest movies I've ever seen!!! See more Robson C @RT82519826 May 3 O famoso diamante Pantera Cor de Rosa é roubado do museu onde estava pelo Fantasma, o mesmo ladrão do primeiro filme. Clouseau é convocado para resolver o caso. O humor de Sellers continua afiadíssimo, agora com o uso de disfarces, demonstrando outra característica do trabalho do ator que era conhecido por fazer vários personagens em um mesmo filme, como Dr. Fantástico e O Rato Que Ruge. Christopher Plummer substitui David Niven, no papel de Sir Charles Litton. Com isso, sai a fleuma britânica de Niven e entra o porte atlético de Plummer, mudando o perfil do personagem. Não há perda. Na verdade, é outro personagem. O que achei interessante são as cenas da atriz Catherine Schell com Sellers: ela caía na risada após ver as trapalhadas do personagem Clouseau. Fiquei na dúvida se o diretor Blake Edwards deixou essas cenas porque a atriz não consegui segurar o riso com Sellers ou foi um tipo de interpretação pensada. Fico com a primeira opção. O filme mantém a qualidade da franquia. See more Aun M @AunMohammad Dec 5 This movie are for those who love classic cinema and comedy. Inspector Clouseau one of the most hillarious character ever written and brilluantly performed by Peter Seller with his best timings. Best comedy of his time. See more Ed . @RT01276001 Aug 29 France's Favorite Fill The most law and order conservative might consider defunding the police after watching Inspector Clouseau and his boss Chief Inspector Dreyfus perform their duties. See more Robert T @RT70963987 Jul 7 Fifty years and still going strong. Sellers and Lom are not mentioned as a comedy team but to watch them work is perfection. This is clean comedy. No foul language and nudity. No need to make social statements. Just fun to watch as it was years ago. See more Michael W @mawilps 09/07/2024 This Pink Panther sequel was great. Peter Sellers, Christopher Plummer, Catherine Schell, Herbert Lom, Burt Kwouk, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. The plot of the movie was entertaining and humorous. It's another funny crime movie with Inspector Clouseau. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching. See more Read all reviews
