The comic genius of Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers meet again in The Return of the Pink Panther. The 'Pink Panther Diamond' is stolen with only one clue left behind - a white glove, the trademark of the world-renowned jewel thief The Phantom (Christopher Plummer). Believed to be retired, he immediately becomes the chief suspect on Inspector Clouseau's list. Wanting to clear his name, The Phantom sets out to find the real thief and sends Clouseau bumbling along on a false trail. Inspector Clouseau's antics finally push his boss, Chief Inspector Dreyfus, over the edge and he sets out to murder Clouseau to rid of him once and for all! It's non-stop laughs in this timeless comedy masterpiece, hailed as the funniest in the Pink Panther series. (Fabulous Films)

If there's a Clouseau in the frame who's incredibly demolishing something or unwittingly testing how patient the people around him are (very, very, very patient), this Panther, filmed after a ten-year hiatus, is not without its faults. My problem, however, comes with Christopher Plummer, an otherwise likable character who just doesn't quite fit the role inherited from David Niven. Admittedly, he's the only thing I can fault in The Return of the Pink Panther, but considering how much room his Sir Litton is given by the film in places, it's pretty substantial. But hey, even the title diamond has a little blemish, right?

Some of the gags are absolutely unreal. x Peter Sellers is incredible.
