Utterly charming. The pace can be a tad slow in the scenes without Clouseau but I always find myself too caught up in the lush old-fashioned style to mind. I think this film might even have worked (in a different, slighter way) without Sellers. As things turned out, David Niven didn’t get his “Phantom” series but the world gained Clouseau and (in the next film) Chief Inspector Dreyfus and Cato. Thanks, Blake!

Every time Sellers is on screen the film shines. His comic timing, his subtle masking of pratfalls with faux sophistication, its all excellent. Other than that, the film has so much dead time and plods along uninterestingly for a good solid half of its running time. Not to mention the resolution which is just so ridiculous it had to be made in the 60s.

Not quite as good as A Shot In the Dark, but priceless comedy nonetheless. "We must find that woman!"

Quirky caper that oozes magnificent amounts of '60s charm. One of my favorites.

Not enough Peter Sellers here, but still funny. The next installment is one of the funniest movies ever made.
