Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Feb 2, 2007
Pros: Peter Sellers, Elke Sommer, Supporting Cast, Humor
Cons: Lapses between laughs
Summary: A Shot in the Dark (1964) A Shot in the Dark is the best of Peter Sellers' The Pink Panther series of comedies, but I'm afraid it has lost some of its edge. I recently watched the MGM DVD of A Shot in the Dark and anticipated ... read more

Pros: Sellers, Lom, Kwouk, Mancini's groovy score
Cons: Pretty much anyone could've played Maria
Summary: Stately Ballon manor is the kind of mansion where everyone is sleeping with seemingly everyone. When the chauffer is shot dead one night, all signs point to the maid, Maria Gambrelli (Elke Sommer,) who was found in the room, next to the body, with the ... read more

Pros: A few amusing parts
Cons: Everything else
Summary: Okay, so I wasn't a fan of the original Pink Panther. What am I doing watching the first sequel? I thought maybe I was missing something, so I'd give A Shot in the Dark, the only film in the series not to involve the Pink ... read more

Pros: Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom and, yes, Burt Kwouk
Cons: At times, Blake Edwards' direction
Summary: I am sure that every person that writes reviews on products at Epinions.com has some product in their catalogue that they have been meaning to review for a long time. However, for some reason or another, one just does not end up ... read more

Feb 7, 2009
Pros: Sellers taking Clouseau with so much dignity
Cons: Cato scenes are pointless; Aishwarya Rai is not in it
Summary: There is one big, primary difference between the way Steve Martin plays Inspector Jacques Clouseau and the way Peter Sellers plays him: Dignity. Martin plays Clouseau as a bumbling fool whom you honestly wonder how he makes it through his day-to-day ... read more

Pros: Peter Sellers fooling around, some genius slapstick
Cons: Some dull bits (not many, though)
Summary: [Note: Also see my review for The Pink Panther] Yes, it was the year 1964, and Blake Edwards had just directed a movie called The Pink Panther which starred David Niven as a jewel thief. The film was in the genre of comedy (or at least it was su ... read more

Pros: Peter Sellers, good slapstick, decent murder mystery
Cons: Not all of it is funnny, but then what movie is?
Summary: After making such an impression in The Pink Panther, it was inevitable that Peter Sellers' wonderful creation Inspector Jacques Clouseau should make a return appearence. Filming on A Shot In The Dark was underway before the previous film had even been ... read more

Sep 25, 1999
Pros: gags, jokes, Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom
Cons: thin plot, dumb blonde, they drop like flies
Summary: Blake Edwards' 1963 comedy "The Pink Panther" may have starred David Niven and Robert Wagner, but it was a supporting character that drew the most laughs. Inspector Clouseau was a stupid, accident-prone, conceited and incompetent police ... read more
