Amusing moments along with ridiculous is this new entry Inspector Clouseau with a late Sellers, 5 March 2007
5/10
Author: ma-cortes

This following series is a new attempt to maintain the slipstick franchise in spite of Peter Sellers death by means the substituting in American actor Ted Wass.He's investigating bungling Clouseau disappearance and is on the trail of the jewel known as the Pink Panther.Clouseau's previous chief(Herbert Lom) threatens to destroy the new detective.At the same time Ted Wass like Clouseau is making life intolerable for the Inspector Dreyfuss.Then he goes to the Clouseau museum where he finds to Kato(Burt Kwouk)to the French Riveira,Valencia(Spain)where encounters mobsters(Robert Loggia)wish to kill him .Later in a yacht(along with the habitual David Niven,Capucine,Robert Wagner)he goes to Mallorca.There attempts to track down the Clouseau trail but he finds a suspect Countess Chandra(Joanna Lumley).This is arguably one of most average of the series about the botcher Inspector.

In this slapdash comedy Wass attempts to investigate whether or no Clouseau is living somewhere.This slapstick release has some hilarious moments here and there.Ted Wass is sympathetic imitating to Sellers,outdoing his botcher and diverting character . The actors seem to enjoy themselves immensely but they are supposedly amusing holidays in Riveira,Mallorca,Valencia.In the film appear the usual series as Herbert Lom( chief Inspector Dreyfuss),Andre Maranne(Sergeant Francois Duval),Grahame Stark(as a bored waiter)and the professor(Harvey Korman).The movie is simultaneously filmed with ¨Trail to the Pink Panther¨where equally the protagonist(Joanna Lumley)is looking for Inspector Clouseau.Writer,producer,director Blake Edwards although gets some inspired bits penned by him however he attempts to alive his classic personage with no much success.Rating: Mediocre but entertaining
