A Shot in the Dark

The Pink Panther The history of film comedy would have been much altered if Peter Ustinov had stayed in the role of Jacques Clouseau, the bumbling French police inspector in The Pink Panther. But Ustinov dropped out, the role went to Peter Sellers, and a classic character was born: suspicious, bl...

(mca) Release Date: 01/10/2006 Starring: Peter Sellers Peter Arne Run time: 113 minutes Rating: G Director: Blake Edwards	The Pink Panther Strikes Again The fourth Pink Panther film with Peter Sellers and directed by Blake Edwards is easily the most over-the-top, but it's still pretty entertaining. The story finds Clouseau's former boss (Herbert Lom) totally insane after years of enduring the bumbling detective, and sequestered i...	Revenge of the Pink Panther The sixth Pink Panther comedy was the last to star Peter Sellers (the following film in the series incorporated previously unseen footage), and it was also the last in the series to show any signs of genuine inspiration. It's a weak entry in the Panther pantheon, involving a rath...	Trail of the Pink Panther One would have thought that the death of Peter Sellers in 1980 would spell the end of the Pink Panther series but Blake Edwards was able to utilize leftover footage from previous Panther efforts to create TRAIL OF THE PINK PANTHER. Sellers once again stars as the ineptly heroic I...
The Party Though this film is a relatively minor one in the massive canon of Peter Sellers, it has moments of absolute hilarity. Written and directed by Blake Edwards, one of Sellers's most fertile collaborators, the film stars Sellers as a would-be actor from India (let them try to get aw...	Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Special Edition) Arguably the greatest black comedy ever made, Stanley Kubrick's cold-war classic is the ultimate satire of the nuclear age. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed ...	Curse of the Pink Panther Director Blake Edwards ignites a powder keg of laughter in this "delightful" (Box office) caper involving a most inefficient search for France's most inept detective - using the bluntest instruments possible!

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Stanley Kramer's sprawling 1963 comedy about a search for buried treasure by at least a dozen people--all played by well-known entertainers of their day--is the kind of mass comedy that Hollywood hasn't made in many years. (Another example from around the same time is Blake Edwar...	Being There Thanks to an extraordinary, delicately balanced performance by Peter Sellers, Being There received mixed reviews during its theatrical release in 1979, but has since become a celebrated comedy with a loyal following. It's one of the most unusual black comedies ever made, simply b...

Just perfect
Many folks here have said it very well- this is a perfectly wonderful movie with fabulous performances all around, especially from the divine Peter Sellers. But let me add that it is also a wonderful treat for those who love the stylish big budget films of the mid-sixties. Sleek and glamourous as well as hysterical.

Need a few laughs? This is the place to get them. A great flick.

Great service and a great movie
As a fan of Peter Sellers, I purchased "A Shot in the Dark", which for any Sellers fan is a must for their collection. Amazon provided excellent service and I received the DVD in timely fashion and in perfect condition. Interesting timing -- the film was featured on my local PBS station the week I received it as an essential film to see. I couldn't agree more.

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.
