Blake Edwards should really have stopped making Pink Panther films after Peter Sellers died and realised after the cut and paste film that was "Trail of the Pink Panther" and the flop that was "Curse of the Pink Panther" that the public just weren't interested in Clouseau clones.
The franchise was already thirty years old at the time of this release and although there are some funny moments to be had everything feels tired and the cast can't save this weak film.
Panther regulars Burt Kwonk and Herbert Lom all appear in an attempt to make this feel like a classic Panther but without the talent of Peter Sellers this film fails to match the high standards of the previous entries.
A weak end to Blake Edwards franchise that deserved a better conclusion.
