When I was growing up The Pink Panther films were my go to if I found myself needing a laugh. The combination of silly humour along with sight gags were the winning combination. Here you have all Inspector Clouseau films starring the brilliant Peter Sellers (1962-1983). I cannot picture anyone else in the role (I am looking at you, Steve Martin). Amazingly, Sellers only got the role because Peter Ustinov dropped out of it.
In Sellers’ hands Inspector Jacques Clouseau was a lovable but clumsy and a bit dense inspector in the French force. Sounds very simple but in the hands of Peter Sellers it is one laugh after another. Plus, somehow in the end through all his ineptness Clouseau somehow gets the job done and catches the bad guy(s). So much fun and I have not even talked about his zany disguises.
