Shake off any autumn blues with this laugh-out-loud comedy, starring Peter Sellers as hapless Inspector Clouseau on the trail of the ‘Pink Panther’ diamond. The fourth in the highly successful series, and the third starring Peter Sellers, following the original TV show, Blake Edwards directs and co-writes, drawing on some of the best gags from the previous outings.

Christopher Plummer takes over from David Niven as the thief, who disappears the diamond from the country of ‘Lugash’. The authorities assert that the only man for the detecting job is Clouseau, who is determined to have the case ‘solv-ed’.
