He is the ONLY Clouseau ever. I cannot believe Steve Martin did what he did - he knew it would be bad and I can only assume he put profit before morals.
but apparently in interviews, Peter Sellers HATED doing Clouseau. He wanted to be known for other roles and not just remembered for Pink Panther movies
Back in High School in German class we watched part of The Pink Panther Strikes again where Clouseau goes to October Fest everyone in the class loved it and we persuaded to let the Teacher show us the rest of the movie in like 5 minute clips before class ended each day.
Peter Sellers was one of the greatest and most versatile comic [or otherwise] actors of all-time --- The Pink Panther(s), The Party, Dr. Strangelove, Casino Royale (1967), A shot in the dark, ... , Being There. His genius will always be remembered.
Also "The Lady Killers" (1955), "The Smallest Show on Earth" (1957), "I'm all right, Jack!" (1959), "Two-way Stretch" (1960) and "Heavens Above!" (1963).
This is a perfect example of Peter Sellers’ genius; capturing the very essence of the self important French attitude and outlook on life. He grossly mispronounces the word, but shamelessly calls the inn keeper a lunatic, over the ensuing confusion!
Well, he actually believes they are either complete idiots...or they are messing with him! He doesn't realize that HE is the idiot. That's part of what's so funny about Clouseau...his absolute confidence in his own amazing abilities!
@Johan Lebbing I agree, when he said "you're mistaken" from 0:37-0:38 his look was like he was saying "I must be looking like someone else who gave you a massage this morning."
+Fred Ferd I guess there's another person named Shirley who works at that spa called "Tokyo" and both Shirley's have a nickname so people don't get confused if they are referring one of them for a massage. So maybe that Shirley nicknamed as "Passion Flower The Yokohama Butterfly" is an excellent therapist which the concierge is talking about which is why he's telling Clouseau to request for her.
Love it! I think I need to watch this every day to keep my stress down, and immunity up.....Corona? What's that??? :) And oh, I can just see in my mind's eye what Passion flower Shirley looks like...! 🤣🤣🤣
This brings back memories. Times seemed simpler then. Comedy was a true art form and didn't need to include of pile of cursing and d$ck jokes etc Still could be family viewing E.g Tommy Cooper!
For the 83 dislike folks so far there is never going to be a messauge of any kind. They just don't understand the message of this humor and that's sad. I've seen this over and over and my stomach still aches from laughing.
Ha ha ha! It never gets old. The times that his valet ambushed him, the encounters with his boss Dreyfuss - ha ha ha!!! Priceless. Clouseau is a world class clod.
He was brilliant. Some people might not know this but he made many more movies besides Clouseau movies I e. Dr Strangelove, The Party, There's a girl in my Soup with Goldy Haun, What's new Pussycat to name a few
This brings back great memories with my late father and mother. This was one of their favorite scenes - and Dad would just start quoting "Do you have for me the massage?", with the accent, and Mom and I would just be cracking up! 🤣
Thanks, but i think this is your taste also. We can always enjoy the presence of Clouseau by keeping the blurays or dvd`s in a save place. These movies are also very great feelgoods. If you feel a bit depressed, or a bit down...Sellers always brings a smile on our faces. Have a good one.
Clouseau obviously got lost. He was too stressed for a message. A massage was what he really needed and for that he should have gone to RU-vid's mugumogu and asked for an appointment with legendary masseur Maru the Japanese cat (Scottish fold).
I am a non practicing Roman Catholic from Ireland. I used to be a regular mass goer but not too long ago my country was a devout practicing catholic country but the sex abuse scandals that came to light in the 1990s ruined Ireland’s relationship with the church. We have become a country of atheists as a result. But I have been listening to Bishop Mar Mari for nearly a year now and what he is saying in this video is 100% correct. The more I listen to this man the more I want to have a relationship with Jesus again.
My biggest favorite is "Do you have a room" clip in Switzerland. There is no way to write it here the way he pronounced it 🤣 Then he gets his coat, hat and briefcase stolen.
By the way, the front desk homeboy is coiffed, with a recently deceased stoat, pasted surreptitiously to the back of monsieur's melon...a Yokohama butterfly?
Reminds me of Macron and his latest attempts to speak his normally flawless english with a french accent. Everytime I see him I can't stop thinking of this and laughing.
'Why would I do that?' 'You want a massage don't you?' 'Yes, but I want it from you.' *stands up* 'Sir...I don't give the massages! 'But you gave me one only this morning?' *dumbfounded* 'You're mistaken!'
If only we could get our hands on some behind the scenes, i would like to see how many retakes this took. haha :D it must have been so damn hard to keep a straight face,
