The Pink Panther
A comedy that defies tradition, one that does not evoke laughter by worn out one liners, rather from the whole setting of the movie. It is the Pink Panther.
A soccer coach is murdered in front of a stadium full of people and a priceless diamond is missing. Who else but the best( or worst?) in the French detective force, Inspector Jacques Clouseau is called upon to solve the mystery. And then ensues the most hilarious fracas; a sequence of stumblings, falls, punches, jabs, bites and English spoken in French.
Clouseau is hot on the trail, assisted by his faithful sidekick and stalked by his lovelorn secretary, only to seem confused as ever but ends up solving the mystery with panache.
The director sure has something against the tour de France. THe movie is a laugh tonic and a must see for everyone who hates slapstick comedy and has a liking for good jokes.
