Return of the Pink Panther (Original title)
Date: 29 February 1976 (Release)Country: United KingdomDirector: Blake Edwards
Synopsis: Comedy thriller. The hopeless Inspector Clouseau is enlisted to investigate the latest theft of the invaluable Pink Panther diamond. When the priceless diamond is stolen from a high security museum in Lugash, France's spectacularly incompetent Inspector Clouseau is sent to investigate. The prime suspect is Sir Charles Litton, an apprently retired former thief whose signature white monogrammed glove has been left at the scene of the crime. Yet Litton, living a quiet, if dull, life in a villa in Nice, protests his innocence and, keen to clear his name lest he end up in prison, sets off on an international quest to unmask the real thief. Clouseau follows clues from Litton's Riviera home to Gstaad in Switzerland (where the mischievous Lady Litton has led him for her own purposes), and then to Lugash, and he keeps landing in catastrophic, outrageous situations, such as ruining museum exhibits, setting furniture on fire, driving vans into a swimming pool, vacuuming the Palace Hotel's parrot from inside its cage and proving unable to get a piece of luggage through a revolving door.
