Funny idea isn't it? Writing about the classic Pink Panther after promoting Rambo...
First of all I'd like to admit that I had better memories about the professional thief called 'Phantom'. I remember when I was a child Blake Edward's film was one of my favourites with its gentleman thief and dumb inspector. Actually Peter Sellers in the role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau is still stunning, but the rest of the film is rather forced and artificial. The scenes are overacted and sometimes made up only for giving convenient context for the stars. The movie is a typical benefit performance for Sellers, David Niven (if the name isn't familiar, his face is more than remarkable...), Claudia Cardinale and the most beautiful Capucine as the dubious wife of the inspector.
Anyway, it's (almost) Christmas, so time to recall the old easy classics from our childhood. The Pink Panther is definitely one of them. Don't expect too much, and don't glorify your faded memories. Just eat a lot, lean back and enjoy your holiday! Hmm, the Christmas is one week from now. Maybe I'm going to watch the other episodes of the series (did you realize that their titles are almost similar with the Star Wars trilogy's episodes? The Pink Panther Strikes Again / The Return of the Pink Panther / Revenge of the Pink Panther :))).
Stay tuned...
