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.

| Jul 3, 2014

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.

| Aug 7, 2012

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.

| Jan 7, 2011

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.

| Jul 6, 2010

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.

| Jun 24, 2006

Perhaps the series' most effervescent entry.

| Original Score: B+ | May 3, 2005

The perfectly balanced Clouseau flick. Brilliantly funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 24, 2005

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

Sellers is on full tilt in this one.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 8, 2004

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