The Pink Panther (1963)

Dana and Tom discuss the 1963 caper comedy, The Pink Panther: written and directed by Blake Edwards, co-wrritten by Maurice Richlin, music by Henry Mancini, starring David Niven, Robert Wagner, and Peter Sellers.

Plot Summary: "The Pink Panther" is a delightful comedy caper directed by Blake Edwards, which weaves together a tale of stolen diamonds, mistaken identities, and the comically inept Inspector Jacques Clouseau, played brilliantly by Peter Sellers.

When the legendary Pink Panther diamond goes missing, Clouseau is assigned to the high-profile case. Armed with an abundance of confidence but lacking in competence, Clouseau sets out to apprehend the cunning thief responsible for the audacious heist. However, his unconventional methods and comedic missteps only serve to create chaos and confusion. As Clouseau stumbles his way through the investigation, a tangled web of relationships emerge. The glamorous Princess Dala (Claudia Cardinale), the seductive Simone (Capucine), and the dashing Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven) all become entangled in Clouseau's pursuit of the Pink Panther. With each twist and turn, the lines between friend and foe become blurred, and laughter ensues.
