One would have thought that the death of Peter Sellers in 1980 would spell the end of the Pink Panther series, but Blake Edwards was able to utilize leftover footage from previous Panther efforts to create TRAIL OF THE PINK PANTHER. Sellers once again stars as the ineptly heroic Inspector Clouseau, who is assigned to investigate when the fabulous Pink Panther diamond is again stolen from the country of Lugash. While flying to England for an important meeting with Scotland Yard, Clouseau's plane mysteriously disappears over the Atlantic, arousing speculation about the detective. Clouseau's past is dug up by French television reporter Marie Jouvet (Joanna Lumley), who interviews many of the people whose lives the bungling detective has touched--in more ways than one--over the years, including Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven), Clouseau's former wife, now Lady Lytton (Capucine), and, of course, the incomparable Kato (Burt Kwouk). In the course of her research, Jouvet manages to unearth Clouseau's father, who, not surprisingly, shares many of his son's most familiar characteristics. [More]

Think of it as the cinematic version of a sitcom clip show.

Trail of the Pink Panther will appeal to slapstick fans of this comedy series.

Actually funny when Peter Sellers is on screen, even if they are outtakes.

Cinematic graverobbing at its most unsavory.
