The Pink Panther Wikipedia. The Pink Panther is a series of comedy mystery films featuring an inept French police detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau. The series began with the release of The Pink Panther 1. The role of Clouseau was originated by, and is most closely associated with, Peter Sellers. Most of the films were directed and co written by Blake Edwards, with theme music composed by Henry Mancini. Elements and characters inspired by the films were adapted into other media, including books, comic books and animated series. In the movies, the Pink Panther is a large and valuable pink diamond which is first shown in the opening film in the series. The diamond is called the. The phrase reappears in the title of the fourth film The Return of the Pink Panther, in which the theft of the diamond is again the centre of the plot. The phrase was used for all the subsequent films in the series, even when the jewel did not figure in the plot. It ultimately appeared in six of the eleven films. The first film in the series had an animated opening sequence, created by De. Patie Freleng Enterprises and set to the theme music by Mancini, which featured the Pink Panther character. This character, designed by Hawley Pratt and Friz Freleng, was subsequently the subject of his own series of animated cartoons which gained its highest profile when aired on Saturday mornings as The Pink Panther Show. The character would be featured in the opening of every film in the movie series except A Shot in the Dark and Inspector Clouseau. Film. Year. Director. Clouseau actor. Notes. Budget. Gross.

Inspector Clouseau and the Pink Panther diamond, both of which had gone missing in Trail, are pursued by the bumbling American detective, Clifton Sleigh Ted Wass. Clouseau returns in a cameo played by Roger Moore who is credited as Turk Thrust II after having plastic surgery to disguise his identity. Although intended to spawn a new series of misadventures for Sergeant Sleigh, the films dismal box office performance and critical drubbing led to a decade long hiatus of the series. Son of the Pink Panther. Blake Edwards. Roberto Benigni. Blake Edwards tried to revive the series by casting Roberto Benigni as Gendarme Jacques Gambrelli, Inspector Clouseaus illegitimate son by Maria Gambrelli the murder suspect from A Shot in the Dark.

This is explained in the beginning of the first film, and the camera zooms in on the diamond to reveal the blurry flaw, which focuses into the Panther albeit not actually leaping to start the opening credits sequence this is also done in Return. The plot of the first film is based on the theft of this diamond. The diamond reappears in several later films in the series, The Return of the Pink Panther, Trail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther.

A Shot in the Dark, a film which was not originally intended to feature Clouseau, is the first of two films in the series the other being Inspector Clouseau that features neither the diamond nor the distinctive animated Pink Panther in the opening credits and ending. Many critics, including Leonard Maltin, regard this film as the best in the series. In the original film, released in 1. David Nivens role as Sir Charles Litton, the infamous jewel thief nicknamed. Inspector Clouseau was only a secondary character as Littons incompetent antagonist and provided slapstick comic relief to a film that was otherwise a subtle, lighthearted crime drama, a somewhat jarring contrast of styles which is typical of Edwards films. The popularity of Clouseau caused him to become the main character in subsequent Pink Panther films, which were more straightforward slapstick comedies. Mancinis theme, with variations in arrangement, is used at the start of all but the first two of the subsequent films. Mancinis other themes for the first film include an Italian language set piece called. Portions of an instrumental version also appear in the films musical score several times.
