The clueless Inspector Clouseau has everyone fooled - unwittingly, of course - in this "uproarious"(NBC-TV) howler starring the incomparable Peter Sellers along with Robert Webber as an insecure drug lord and Dyan Cannon as his sexpot mistress. Featuring wild chases, spectacular pratfalls and "the funniest Clouseau blunder yet" (Newsweek), "this Revenge just couldn't be sweeter!" (ABC-TV)! Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) happily believes that Clouseau has died in an explosion, but in reality, he's alive and busy mangling a case! Using absurdly mismatched costumes and accents, Clouseau travels to Hong Kong to intercept a major heroin deal, bringing Cato (Burt Kwouk) and the drug lord's jilted lover (Cannon) with him. The only problem is, Dreyfus is on the case too!
Viewer Reviews
In this exquisitely comic masterpiece, Peter Sellers takes fewer pratfalls but dons elaborate costumes and cruises through what is essentially a live-action cartoon, complete with bowling ball bombs, circles sawed through floors and rubber parrots. He's ably assisted by Herbert Lom, Bert Kwouk and Dyan Cannon who is more than just a pretty face. She takes her own pratfalls and engages in daft dialogue with Clouseau in a classic scene that involves three brandy snifters.
As for the plot, it is THE FRENCH CONNECTION meets the GODFATHER defeated by the MUPPET SHOW. Some might criticize this comedy for running on the franchise, as Blake Edwards does here, but Edwards succeeded in creating a film franchise because he knew how to deliver on expectations and go a little bit beyond. At this point, Sellers and Edwards were the kings of comedy and this is a royally funny performance.
