Revenge of the Pink Panther
1978
**½
Director: Blake Edwards
Cast: Peter Sellers, Herbert Lom, Robert Webber, Dyan Cannon, Burt Kwouk

A French crime boss attempts to impress his American partners by having the celebrated Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau assassinated, but it is easier said than done. In his last performance as Clouseau, Peter Sellers seems somewhat old and frail, and the comedy around him is definitely not among the best in the series. The pacing is all over the place at times, but there are just about enough of funny lines and set pieces.
