Blake Edwards originally planned to farm out the direction on this 1964 comedy, the first sequel to
The Pink Panther, to Anatole Litvak. Little did he realize that by taking the job himself he'd be doomed to do little else for the next ten years. This isn't quite up to the original, but it has its moments, as Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) sets out to solve a murder in an English country house. With George Sanders and Elke Sommer. 101 min.
