Here are some customer reviews of Return of the Pink Panther : I have seen the Pink Panther Movies and believe that this is the funniest of them all. With added characters from the first one and all of the countries that the movie uses makes this a must see. No need to comment on the plot which is hilarious, just the DVD picture quality. While it's in letterbox, the image is slightly fuzzy (as in VHS quality). I suspect that instead of using 35mm film, Artisan Entertainment may have pulled this from a laserdisc and burned it down to DVD. Still, it's worth owning..... All of Peter Sellers films in The Pink Panther Series are absolutely hilarious. Blake Edwards was wise in casting peter for the role of the bumbling French detctive. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I first saw his films at the age of 10 or 12, Im 21 now and as I watch them over and over again I still end up in tears of laughter. The Cast consists of brilliant actors including Herbert Lom, Burt Kwouk even Christopher Plummer in The Return of The Pink Panther. I would love to see the Pink Panther movies out in theaters again, to see them on the big screen in all of its humor. Peter Sellers really makes the series absolutely humorous. I recomend the films to anyone who is in need of some serious laughing and cheering up. Except for a trailer, there are no real extras on this dvd, thats why it loses a star. The film itself, however, is magnificent. I've noticed a few reviewers that have chosen to point out that the plot isnt as "cohesive" as it was in the original "Pink Panther" or it's legendary follow up "A Shot in the Dark." Phooey. Who cares? I didn't see this movie for the plot anyway - I was there to see Peter Sellers reestablish himself as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, and that's exactly what I was given. This movie is painfully funny at times (particularly when Herbert Lom is onscreen as Clouseau's boss, the long suffering Dreyfus), and if the plot is a little weak, all is forgiven thanks to a series of sight gags that are the best of their type since Chaplin did his thing. For those who must have a plot, it goes like this: the Pink Panther diamond is again stolen from a museum in Lugash, and a white glove emblazoned with a letter P is left behind- the sign of the jewel thief the Phantom. Sir Charles Litton (Christopher Plummer, doing an admiral job of assuming the role after David Niven) - the original Phantom, and the one who stole the diamond the first time - is accused of the theft. He is innocent of the crime, though, and sets out to clear his name. While this is going on, the worlds worst detective is assigned to the case at the behest of the Lugash govt. They figure that if he caught the Phantom the first time, Clouseau can do it again. Havoc ensues. You have to understand, it doesn't matter where he is or what the circumstances, Clouseau walks into a room and literally manages to destroy it within minutes. This leads to some very , very funny moments (my favorite being a scene involving a hapless bellboy, a sauna and some VERY slippery shoes). This could be absolutely supid, but Blake Edwards still has a great sense of comic timing, and Peter Sellers could do slapstick like nobody else before or since. If you're a fan of the "Pink Panther" films, then you'll definitely want to have this in your collection. As comedies go, its indispensible. Peter Sellers at his best, funny story, beautiful places, Gstaad Palace, great entertainment, timeless comedy.
