A Shot in the Dark
Peter Sellers. Pink Panther. And to a lesser extent, Blake Edwards. As much as "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" might attempt to convince you that Peter Sellers positively loathed acting in Blake Edwards whimsical slapsticks, you are never completely in agreement. That may be because of Sellers' genius at foppery or Edwards' total mastery of the slapstick. A Shot in the Dark continues after the Pink Panther series to follow Inspector Clouseau as he is convinced that a Scandinavian maid, foxy and voluptuous though she may be, is innocent of all the murders that seem to follow her like a shadow. Yet another attraction to this movie is a brilliant little cameo by the suave George Sanders.
