Trail of the Pink Panther (1982)
Country: US/GB
Technical: col/scope 97m
Director: Blake Edwards
Cast: Peter Sellers, Joanna Lumley, Herbert Lom, David Niven, Richard Mulligan, Robert Loggia
Synopsis:
A French journalist attempts to track down Inspector Clouseau, who has mysteriously disappeared while en route to Lugash to investigate another theft of the Pink Panther diamond.
Review:
Needless to say she does not find him, since the star exists only in outtakes and replays of moments from the earlier films. There is no denying a certain bitter-sweet pleasure to be had in this make-believe, but the results are inevitably compromised as narrative and largely feature material deemed second-rate in the first place. A disastrous follow-up, The Curse etc., had Ted Wass as a computer-generated new Clouseau, and still more outtakes.
