Another Pink Panther movie - actually the first sequel and one of those rare occasions where the sequel is way better than the original movie. And the original wasn't really bad - but the way Peter Sellers and the movie itself takes or rather where it goes ... just plain amazing. There are so many things that had to work out right. Sellers finding a French doorsman, whom allegedly he based his accent and mannerisms on.
Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers may have had their issues, but the end results (films) they made, at least in the Pink Panther cinematic universe (yes I said it) are awesome! The way he pronounced certain words after taking a few days off to seek out inspiration for his character ... I can't really convey that in written words, it has to be seen to be believed - but more importantly: enjoyed! We also get to see Cato for the first time. Complete and utter nonsense at times, but done with style and gusto. Not to mention a preparation and setting (few cuts, long shots, certain patterns the characters behaved and or walked) ... a real craftmanship.
This movie in general or rather the script was not meant to be a Clouseau movie. But Edwards says he suggested it after Sellers asked him if he'd like to do it.Edwards is saying he did not intend to do it, but if the script was to be made, it should be a Clouseau movie. Well history has proven him right. This marks the beginning of so many things. While it does seem detached from the very first movie (in so many ways), it does lay a template, a blueprint for things to come. Physical comedy, language comedy and many more things. You should not be easily offended though ... the movie does not care about certain things that some consider to be woke
