Amazon.com essential video:
Blake Edwards's Inspector Clouseau films really took their complete shape with this second movie in the series, which features star Peter Sellers really tweaking that French accent and key supporting players Herbert Lom, Burt Kwouk, and André Maranne (all getting on board for the first time). The story finds Sellers refusing to believe in the guilt of a beautiful woman (Elke Sommer) accused of murder, and there are a number of hilarious sequences, including one in which Clouseau goes 'undercover' at a nudist colony. Arguably the best of the films, A Shot in the Dark definitely finds Edwards honing a seamless blend of slapstick, brilliant timing, verbal wit, a great cast, and Sellers's brilliance into a unique experience. --Tom Keogh

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.
Rating: - 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.

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,

Rating: - 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 ... Read More
