A Shot in the Dark Reviews
This hysterical comedy remains the best of the Pink Panther franchise.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 7, 2021
The perfect murder mystery spoof.
| Original Score: 10/10 | Aug 27, 2020
The crime plot itself is merely window dressing for the one hundred minute showcase of Peter Sellers' amazing timing with both verbal and physical comedy.

The picture is filled with one sight gag after another, many familiar to anyone old enough to remember the glory days of silent comedy.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 7, 2012
The second Pink Panther film is a timeless piece of knockabout comic artistry and undoubtedly the best of the series.

This isn't quite up to the original, but it has its moments.
| Aug 7, 2012
The original Pink Panther movie, and perhaps even the best. Sellars is, obviously, stellar.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2012
A great comedy, brilliantly directed by Blake Edwards.

Funny Pink Panther sequel. Older tweens+.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 14, 2010
Sometimes the narrative is subordinated to individual bits of business and running gags but Sellers' skill as a comedian again is demonstrated.

Despite the continental suavity, this is a most brutal work, the end of an era as comic classicism is skewered by the jaundiced humor of the new decade
| Apr 2, 2010
First of the Pink Panther sequels, establishing Sellers' incompetent Inspector Clouseau as a viable series character, and prompting Blake Edwards into an unchallenging downhill coast for far too long.

Perhaps the series' most effervescent entry.
| Original Score: B+ | May 3, 2005
The perfectly balanced Clouseau flick. Brilliantly funny.

'La genialidad de Sellers es, por mucho, más divertida que cualquier propuesta actual.'

Sellers is on full tilt in this one.

A few of the set-pieces are tours de force on the part of Sellers
