Hi,
Last night I watched A Shot In the Dark.
Since I recently bought all the PP DVDs within the last 2 weeks, I have so far watched in this order:
Revenge Of the Pink Panther Trail Of the Pink Panther The Pink Panther Strikes Again Curse Of the Pink Panther The Pink Panther(06) Son Of the Pink Panther Return Of the Pink Panther A Shot In the Dark
So far. Having watched these in this non-chronological order, maybe it was not the best way. So far I still have Strikes Again as my favorite, followed by Return. What struck me right away when I started watching Shot, is how young Herbert Lom was! As well as Sellers, but Lom really looked younger/different. From what I read, I think there was a 10yr span between Shot and Return, so age must have had an effect somewhat.
Anyway, Shot was great. Very good. I did notice many of the gags here where played again in later films and variant of. While I did really like it, I am not sure if I like it more than Revenge. There is a bit of difference with the over the top aspect of the Clouseau character from Shot and Return, and the later ones.
As I watched Shot, I wonder if I have even seen this before? Yes, I must have on TV, as many of these scenes I did remember, the billiards, and sauna scenes.
Surely a classic. And the 2nd film in the series. Last night I started watching Inspecter Clouseau. I haven't finished it yet, I will today, and then give my comments.

Yeah he aged a lot in those 10 years. He looks younger than 47 in ASITD. Hopefully you'll like Inspector Clouseau. There's a lack of IC fans on the forum Have you watched The 1963 Pink Panther?

Hi Dreyfus,
I made a new thread for Inspector Clouseau. I know this forum isn't very active, but I thought each title should get it's own thread. I finished watching it yesterday, and the 1st PP is my next one to see, though I haven't seen it in a while.

panther67, i'd like to encourage you also to write your own reviews in our Gong with the Pink section... each film has its own review thread there, so you can post yours and read what others have said about each one, as well...
