    To add on to my viewing of the “Inspector Clouseau” saga is “The Return of the Pink Panther”. It’s a good film with some funny gags, good music, and I also like the character trait of Clouseau being a master of disguise. 8/10

    Was visiting a friend, and The Return of the Pink Panther was playing on tv. I still don't find any of the Pink Panther films funny. I could hardly believe it's a movie from 1975 either, as it feels like a movie from a decade prior. Blake Edwards really started phoning things in back then.

    "julieandrews_online" Julie made a cameo appearance as a hotel maid in "The Return of the Pink Panther"? Unfortunately the scene was cut from the 1975 film, but we're glad we've got the pictures to imagine it.

    The Return of the Pink Panther, 1975. I'm guessing, but I'm pretty sure this is the first film I saw in the theater. Disappointing. I tried to watch Pink Panther films again as an adult. It did not go well.

    I think The Pink Panther Strikes Again is really good; shame that bargain bin didn't have The Return of the Pink Panther, maybe the best-looking film in the series, thanks to d.p. Geoffrey Unsworth and a very hot Christopher Plummer (who if I'm not mistaken does a very impressive stunt himself)

    No one heard about it because movie titles didn't give credit to animators until 1975's The Return of the Pink Panther. Even so, Williams only listed Ken Harris on the opening credits since he animated them solo. The studio artists at the end credits aren't identified.

    "The Party" - A Black Edwards/Peter Sellers film released between "A Shot in the Dark" and "The Return of the Pink Panther". Peter Sellers as Indian? I've been to several parties that in my estimation went off the rails, but none that culminated in an elephant being washed in a swimming pool.

    After being quite successfully stitched up for the theft of the priceless "Pink Panther" diamond four years earlier, it falls to "Insp. Clouseau" (Peter Sellers) to find out just who has stolen it again now! He reckons it must be his nemesis "Sir Charles Litton" (this time Christopher Plummer) because his trademark glove has been left behind, but we know that that former jewel thief is also just as perplexed by the thieving since he didn't leave his poolside. Curious, he decides that he, too,…

    366 Days of Film. Day 111 - The Return of the Pink Panther. Saw some of the Steve Martin remake and needed to cleanse my soul. These films have a stranger naming practise than the Fast & Furious franchise: 4th in series, 1st to feature both Pink Panther in the title & Sellers as Clouseau. A delight.
