Our Score

Tom Hutchinson
Peter Sellers went into this film as character support and came out a star. David Niven plays the ostensible lead, Sir Charles Lytton - aka jewel thief the Phantom - with Sellers as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau, who is called upon to prevent the theft of a diamond known as the Pink Panther. Sellers's turn was so scene-stealingly comic that director Blake Edwards inserted new material, and the rest is history. Don't miss the opening cartoon title sequence, accompanied by Henry Mancini's iconic theme tune.
Summary
The world's most inept police detective, Inspector Clouseau, heads off to Switzerland in search of a suave jewel thief who has purloined a priceless diamond from a princess - but the bumbling officer's every ruse to foil the crime ends in chaos, not least when he is framed for the robbery himself. Blake Edwards' comedy, starring Peter Sellers, David Niven, Capucine, Robert Wagner and Claudia Cardinale.
