Product Description:
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 Inspector Clouseau who is assigned to investigate when the fabulous Pink Panther diamond is again stolen from the country of Lugash. While flying to England for an important meeting with Scotland Yard Clouseau's plane mysteriously disappears over the Atlantic arousing speculation about the detective. Clouseau's past is dug up by French television reporter Marie Jouvet (Joanna Lumley) who interviews many of the people whose lives the bungling detective has touched--in more ways than one--over the years including Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven) Clouseau's former wife now Lady Lytton (Capucine) and of course the incomparable Kato (Burt Kwouk). In the course of her research Jouvet manages to unearth Clouseau's father who not surprisingly shares many of his son's most familiar characteristics.System Requirements:Running Time: 97 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 027616905970 Manufacturer No: 1006396

Rating:  - Cool!
Although some people think that this is hurting Peter Sellers' memory, it is still pretty good. The first half of the film is made up of unused footage from The Pink Panther Strikes Again. The second half is a reporter named Marie Jouvet talking to people that Clouseau has come into contact with. That includes Hercule Lajoy from A Shot In The Dark, Cato from multiple movies, Clouseau's father, and Sir Charles Lytton from the original Pink Panther film. This isn't my favorite Pink Panther film, though. ... Read More
Rating:  - [Two stars out of Four] Average, but still funny. Niven's last film...
R.I.P. David Niven, you were a gentleman.
As for Lom and Sellers they are both get-
ting long in the tooth for these type of
roles. Sellers would try one more time,
but a fatal heart attack would finish
him off in 'The Search for Clouseau'
starring Ted Wass, which would turn out
to be Lom's last film. Followed by an
awful Steve Martin remake in 2005 (*)

Rating: - Passable Panther
The problem with many long-running series is that after a few entries everything seems like old material. In "Trail of the Pink Panther", it literally is.
Director Blake Edwards attempts to make one more Peter Sellers Inspector Clouseau movie, despite the fact that Peter Sellers died before the movie began filming. To accomplish his goal, Edwards weaves deleted scenes from previous Pink Panther films with newly filmed "plot" scenes to try to create a coherent story about Clouseau picking ... Read More
Rating: - Strange Panther
This movie starts out very good and is really funny. Then half way through it, Inspector Clouseau's plane becomes missing and so does Inspector Clouseau. A TV reporter looks for him but never finds out what happened to him or the plane. This is Peter Seller's last film as Inspector Clouseau but it is a very strange one indeed. At the end you see Clouseau from the back (you never see his face) looking out over an ocean and that's it!
Rating: - A Guilty Pleasure
Despite the fact that the first 30 minutes of this film were made up from unused footage and the like of Peter Sellers as Clouseau, these sequences are some of the funniest and most outrageously humorous from the PINK PANTHER series.
The remainder of the film follows reporter Marie Jouvet (Joanna Lumley) as she sets a trail to find the whereabouts of the missing Inspector Clouseau. In doing so she ultimately interviews most of Clouseau's acquaintances from both sides of the law. During these ... Read More
