A Shot in the Dark
1964. Directed by Blake Edwards. Screenplay by Blake Edwards and William Peter Blatty. Starring Peter Sellers, Elke Sommer, George Sanders, and Charles Dreyfus.
"Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world."
Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau is a fun character. He is almost a complete bumbling fool and yet he does get many things right. A Shot in the Dark was an enjoyable, though not tremendous, experience for me. There are some laugh-out-loud funny moments but some other moments that drag a little and the ending is disappointing. I don't regret watching it but I am not likely to rush out to watch the rest of the Pink Panther films either.
My grade: B
