Arriving at a
posh resort
with her
precious
"panther"
- a large gem
with the image
of a leaping
feline inside
- sexy
princess Dala
(Claudia
Cardinale)
meets the
debonair Sir
Charles (David
Niven). She is
unaware,
however, that
Charles a.k.a.
"The
Phantom"
is a
professional
thief who
steals from
the rich and
gives to
himself! Enter
Inspector
Jacques
Clouseau
(Peter
Sellers), the
clumsiest
detective ever
to trip over a
case. In his
attempt to
stop Sir
Charles' heist
of the jewel,
Clouseau
stumbles,
bungles and
tumbles into
comedy
history. I
especially
like
Clouseau's
wife and
phantom
co-conspirator
played by the
lovely
Capuchine.
This film also
co-stars a
young Robert
Wagner as the
nephew of Sir
Charles.

assigned to a
high profile
murder case of
a
millionaire's
chauffeur. He
finds himself
falling in
love with the

played by Elke
Sommer.
Herbert Lom is
brilliant as
the embattled

Dreyfuss.
