Friz Freleng's phenomenally popular Pink Panther animated shorts legacy starts right here and you can see why it caught the mood of the time. A nicely minimal art style, a louche jazzy score and a straightforward and charismatic plot. This is the Oscar-winning foundation on which all of Freleng's output for the next few decades is built on and it still functions magnificently. Distilled charm.
