THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN (1976) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Blake Edwards

Written by - Blake Edwards, Frank Waldman

Starring - Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom

"Charles Dreyfus has gone mad after years of dealing with the bumbling detective, and closed himself in a castle to plot his destruction of Earth. The slapstick and sometimes downright silly comedy aspect is heightened in this addition of the Pink Panther franchise – a move that may have made it seem tired, formulaic and devoid of new ideas. Nevertheless, the result is quite entertaining if impressive in a different way from the other films of the franchise. Needless to say, it was always also because of Peter Sellers that these films are so well remembered by fans."
