A Shot in the Dark (1964)

The Pink Panther at the Nudist Camp...
...Inspector Clouseau is at it in his prime!
A typical Pink Panther comedy, never misses a beat
in using every conceivable slapstick action and cliché.
The viewer is in for an unforgettable performance
of Peter Sellers' comedic excellence!
A "must have" for the serious Pink Panther fan and collector!
And if you haven't seen this classic before,
it is a "must see" now!
The scenes in the Nudist Camp are cleverly blocked,
Peter Sellers' Clouseau's obvious unease as to being
there is so brilliantly played out,
a reminder why Peter Sellers ranks way up there with
the "crème de la crème" of comedic talent and with
the best performers of all times!

A Shot in the Dark
Bearing all the hilarious hallmarks of Edwards's Pink Panther films, this second entry in the popular series finds pratfall artist Sellers tumbling into a pond, warding off nocturnal judo attacks from assistant Kato (Burt Kwouk), and trying to bed the woman literally found holding a smoking gun. Sellers is at his nutty best, the ravishing Sommer is slyly seductive, and Herbert Lom gives his Chief Inspector Dreyfus plenty of agitated gravitas. For a murder mystery heavy on inspired sight gags and goofy punch lines, "A Shot in the Dark" hits the bull's-eye.
