Leave your thoughts about Inspector Clouseau.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertClouseau is Alan Arkin this time, instead of Peter Sellers, and it's hard to say whether we gain or lose. Arkin flounders a little in the stiff French accent he inherited from Sellers. But in his movements and timing, he's Sellers' equal. |
| New York TimesRenata AdlerA comedy so uninspired, so relentlessly awful that one occasionally laughs for it—more like a moo or a snort or a gagging noise—just to interrupt it a little or help it out of the room. |
| User ReviewGregory WClouseau the bumbling detective sets out on a clumsy crusade to catch the crooks who have committed a great train robbery in London.. But the case takes a riotous twist when Clouseau's "face" is seen masquerading from Swiss bank to Swiss bank for the heist of the century. Will Clouseau manage to save the day, or will the case of mistaken identity end his crime fighting forever? stars Alan Arkin, Delia Boccardo, Frank Finlay, Patrick Cargill, Beryl Reid, Barry Foster, Clive Francis, Richard Pearson, Michael Ripper and Susan Engel. directed by Bud Yorkin. |

| User ReviewCha tI've joined this halfway through (with, astoundingly, ANOTHER showing set to roll out on a different TV channel in mere moments) and it's amazing how compelling it is in light of its reckless low-budget-ness. It's shooting for laughs and wackjob antics as opposed to looking like a consistent, well-meaning film. I'm loving this. |
| User ReviewMatthew JMuch better than you'd think. If you can get over the fact Peter Sellers isnt it it you'll see its rather good. |
| User ReviewKarin RThe most overlooked entry in the franchise. |
| User ReviewKrystof ZThe one Clouseau without Sellers and Edwards. Still quite enjoyable but it never feels completely "right" as a pink panther movie. |
| User ReviewMichael YImho, Alan Arkin makes a pretty good attempt at portraying Inspector Clouseau, but doesn't quite hit the mark. The plotline however,is one of the better ones in the Pink Panther/Inspector Clouseau series. |
