Featuring Henry Mancini’s iconic score, Peter Sellers’ portrayal of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau, and memorable animated openings, this documentary explores the history of the Pink Panther films. The franchise, a successful comedy-mystery series centered around a pink diamond, launched Peter Sellers to stardom and built a significant empire. Paul Joyce's engaging film examines Sellers’ development of the Clouseau character and his collaboration with director Blake Edwards. Hosted by Burt Kwouk, who played Cato, Clouseau’s manservant and martial arts partner, and including interviews with Mark Kermode, Herbert Lom, Graham Stark, and others, THE CURIOUS CASE OF INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU is highly recommended.
