1.5*/5.0*

A more openly comedic entry in the Pink Panther series. I was quite on board with this being primarily a comedy, sadly, the comedy itself wasn't very funny. It's very old-fashioned slap-stick humor. Sellers does his best, but he can't save the film from coming off as very dusty and outdated.

The murder mystery might appeal to people who care for that kind of thing, I'm used to ignoring all the guessing up front and just getting all the necessary info fed at the very end. It's just easier that way. This wasn't the worst of its kind, but I don't think I've laughed once, which is not great for a comedy.
