CURSE OF THE PINK PANTHER (Theatrical Release USA 1983)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Curse of the Pink Panther—same Peter Sellers platform with new actors—uses the character of Clifton Sleigh (played by Ted Wass), a bumbling American detective, to find Inspector Clouseau. The acting is very good, the story follows the Pink Panther series personality well. Pink Panther fans will not be disappointed. Watch for a cameo of Roger Moore toward the conclusion of the film.
