4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Street Date 1\/13\/26;
\n<\/strong>Kino Lorber;
\n<\/strong>Comedy;
\n<\/strong>$24.95 Blu-ray each; $44.95 UHD BD each;
\n<\/strong>Rated \u2018PG\u2019;
\n<\/strong>Stars Peter Sellers, David Niven, Robert Wagner, Capucine, Claudia Cardinale, Herbert Lom, Graham Stark, Andr\u00e9 Maranne, Burt Kwouk, Elke Sommer, Lesley-Anne Down, Dyan Cannon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cPink Panther\u201d films, with some exceptions, are best known as comedy vehicles for the legendary Peter Sellers, playing the bumbling French Inspector Jacques Clouseau, who manages to find new ways to fail upward with each new film. But for as much entertainment value the films provide, equally fascinating is their history as a franchise, which would make modern cinephiles whining about \u201cfranchise fatigue\u201d blush. In many ways, the multiple continuations of the \u201cPink Panther\u201d films are perfect precursors to many of the fads of the home video era, where low-budget and\/or direct-to-video sequels often rule the day.<\/p>\n

The original \u201cPanther\u201d film series ended up comprising nine films before being rebooted with Steve Martin in 2006. Four of the six that credit Sellers as Clouseau are part of the first batch of Kino Lorber\u2019s re-releases of the films with a spiffy remaster scanned in 4K from the original 35mm negatives for Blu-ray, and Dolby Vision HDR on 4K disc.<\/p>\n

These films are the original 1963 The Pink Panther<\/a>, <\/em>1964\u2019s A Shot in the Dark<\/a>, <\/em>1976\u2019s The Pink Panther Strikes Again <\/em><\/a>and 1978\u2019s Revenge of the Pink Panther<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first two films are generally regarded as the best and set the tone and style for what was to follow. In fact, the original The Pink Panther<\/em> is striking for how much more it relies on its ensemble \u2014\u00a0and in fact it could be argued that Clouseau is a supporting character behind David Niven\u2019s jewel thief, The Phantom. Clouseau is still somewhat clumsy and aloof, but Sellers plays him much more straight than in later movies, as the film relies much more on a comedy of errors to carry the day. The title refers to a famous diamond The Phantom wants to steal from an exiled princess. Clouseau is after The Phantom, but is completely oblivious to the fact that his wife (Capucine) is The Phantom\u2019s lover and accomplice. Robert Wagner plays The Phantom\u2019s nephew, a criminal in his own right but unconnected to his uncle\u2019s schemes. They all converge on a European ski chalet where everyone tries to stay one step ahead of everyone else.<\/p>\n

The three enduring franchise elements that emerged were the opening credits\u2019 animated Pink Panther character, which spawned a spinoff series of short films and TV cartoons; Henry Mancini\u2019s iconic theme tune; and Clouseau himself, who would return to screens a year later in A Shot in the Dark<\/em>. The second film is actually devoid of any references to the \u201cPink Panther.\u201d It does have an animated opening sequence, though the focus is on a Clouseau caricature, and Mancini provides a new theme.<\/p>\n

The fact that A Shot in the Dark<\/em> doesn\u2019t seem much connected to the previous film may owe to the fact that it wasn\u2019t originally intended as a sequel. Sellers was attached to an adaptation of the comedic mystery play L\u2019Idiote<\/em>, but script problems prompted producers to bring in Edwards to direct, and the screenplay was re-written into a Clouseau vehicle. It\u2019s a classic farce in which Clouseau falls in love with the prime suspect (Elke Sommer) in a series of murders and refuses to accept that all the evidence points to her. It\u2019s here that Sellers begins his over-the-top performance for Clouseau that would be repeated (and get more exaggerated) through the rest of the films. We also get the introduction of several franchise stalwarts, most notably Dreyfus (Herbert Lom), Clouseau\u2019s boss who is driven insane by Clouseau\u2019s antics and stupidity to the point of trying to murder him; and Cato (Burt Kwouk), Clouseau\u2019s live-in manservant who is always attacking Clouseau to keep him on his toes.<\/p>\n

The film is a comedy classic marked by long, sustained takes of Sellers\u2019 slapstick, and Edwards\u2019 masterful use of widescreen to frame it, both of which became hallmarks of the series. In his commentary track, Jason Simos of The Peter Sellers Appreciation Society calls it a \u201cwonderful tableau of chaos.\u201d In many of the films in the series, some of the comedy scenes are so dependent on the widescreen set-up that they don\u2019t work when reduced to pan-and-scan 4:3 for subsequent TV viewings.<\/p>\n

Edwards\u2019 and Sellers\u2019 fourth \u201cPanther\u201d collaboration, The Pink Panther Strikes Again<\/em>, picks up with Dreyfus in an insane asylum and Clouseau promoted to his old job as chief inspector as a reward for retrieving the diamond. Triggered by Clouseau\u2019s continued, inexplicable success, Dreyfus escapes from the institution and forms a league of super-criminals and assassins he uses to steal a superweapon to blackmail the governments in the world to eliminate Clouseau in an inspired sequence (keep an eye out for Omar Sharif as the Egyptian agent). This may be the franchise at its zany best, as Sellers\u2019 physical comedy is in top form, the plot is so far removed from reality it can\u2019t help but be a lot of fun, and there\u2019s even a great parody of President Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (who aren\u2019t named but it\u2019s obvious who they\u2019re supposed to be).<\/p>\n

The third Edwards\/Sellers \u201cPanther,\u201d Return of the Pink Panther<\/em>, has had a complicated home video history due to rights issues, but is slated for a Feb. 3 Blu-ray and March 3 4K disc release by Kino Lorber. Amusingly, newer fans or those casually familiar with the franchise picking up the earlier DVD sets and just watching the films through may not have even realized there was a movie missing from them. A Shot in the Dark<\/em> ends with Dreyfus apprehended for his attempts to kill Clouseau, so anyone watching Strikes Again<\/em> next (and not knowing about Returns<\/em>) could easily assume Dreyfus was institutionalized for his actions in that movie. The fact that he\u2019s back as Clouseau\u2019s boss in Return<\/em> with nary a mention of consequences for his actions in Shot<\/em> owes more to story continuity between the films not being strictly enforced.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s even more apparent in Revenge of the Pink Panther<\/em>, as Dreyfus is reinstated as Chief Inspector despite his actions in Strikes Again<\/em> that would seem to preclude this as a possibility. He gets the job back when it appears Clouseau is killed by French gangsters looking to impress their Godfather. It turns out they killed the wrong person, and Clouseau is alive, but pretends to stay dead in order to solve the case, which takes him to Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Edwards\u2019 sixth \u201cPanther\u201d film would be 1982\u2019s Trail of the Pink Panther, <\/em>an oddly structured story assembled from deleted footage from Strikes Again<\/em> following Sellers\u2019 death in 1980, intended to set up further franchise films with a new cast.<\/p>\n

The six Edwards\/Sellers \u201cPanther\u201d films were previously released on Blu-ray in 2017 by Shout! Studios as The Pink Panther Film Collection Starring Peter Sellers. <\/em>The Kino Lorber re-releases include legacy bonus material from that collection and previous home video releases. At the moment, no standalone Blu-ray or 4K edition of Trail of the Pink Panther<\/em> has been announced, oddly making the Shout! set the only source for an HD copy of it.<\/p>\n

The three other \u201cPink Panther\u201d films from the original run \u2014\u00a01968\u2019s Inspector Clouseau \u00a0<\/em>(starring Alan Arkin as the title character, directed by Bud Yorkin), 1983\u2019s Curse of the Pink Panther <\/em>(directed by Edwards and starring Ted Wass as a bumbling American detective trying to find Clouseau), and 1993\u2019s Son of the Pink Panther <\/em>(directed by Edwards and starring Roberto Benigni as Clouseau\u2019s son) \u2014 were released on Blu-ray Disc by Kino Lorber in 2017 but are now out of print and can fetch a high price on the secondary market. Kino Lorber has also released a series of Blu-ray Discs of various animated series focused on the Pink Panther and Clouseau characters featured in the films\u2019 animated opening sequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
