Inspector Clouseau (1968)


IMDb plot summary: A string of robberies has occurred in Britain and it's up to Inspector Clouseau to catch the criminal.
Directed by Bud Yorkin. Starring Alan Arkin, Frank Finlay, Delia Boccardo, and Barry Foster.

Given my mediocre response to most Pink Panther movies, I expected to have a mediocre response to this as well, but it was... well, still mediocre, but a step above. I wasn't irritated by it at any point, partly because the silly comedy doesn't have a giant spotlight on it as much as just subtly weaving its way into the plot. That isn't always an improvement, but it is here. It's not a stellar movie by any means, but it's a decently entertaining one.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Inspector Clouseau > Run Fatboy Run
Inspector Clouseau < An American Werewolf in London
Inspector Clouseau < Brothers
Inspector Clouseau > Pitch Perfect 2
Inspector Clouseau < Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles

Final spot: #1291 out of 3026.
