The cartoon panther was developed for the opening credits of this movie. It was such a big hit that they made it into the animated TV series.

Peter Sellers doing French farce in the swinging sixties. What's not to love? Clouseau started out as the comic relief in this one and so comprehensively stole the movie that he got his own franchise.

Yes, Jen! Let's start a Peter Sellers film series! 😊😊😊

“Number Two, you look so healthy and youthful.”

Blake Edwards the director (married to Julie Andrews) was friends with Peter Sellars. They realised pretty quickly that the Clousau character was people's favourite part, and so the later movies were focussed more on him. And they're very fun. You'll enjoy them.

David Niven was a good and decent man. He even gave up Hollywood in the 40s to fight for his country. Can't see many stars today doing that. He's called David as he was born on St David's Day 🐉

Saw these in the theater with my Dad. He would laugh so hard....I'll never forget it. I had a cool Dad.

This is such a classic, Peter Sellers was excellent and definitely one of the OG kings of comedy. The theme is so iconic and check out the sequel “A shot in the dark” it’s a fantastic film.

This is my favorite example of a franchise that blew up way beyond what the filmmakers expected. David Niven was supposed to carry this movie as just another fun little crime comedy, and that would be that. But Peter Sellers totally stole the show and people loved Clouseau so much they did an entire series.

You HAVE to keep going with these! They just get better and better! So much more quotable with every film.

There are at least 2 Peter Sellers movies you should see that are not part of The Pink Panther franchise. They are 1. The Party and 2. Being There. Both were critically acclaimed.

OMG. I think Jen will have a blast with these. You have to continue with Peter Sellers films.

This was fantastic Jen seeing you laughing and having such a good time is the best 🙌Clouseau stole the show for sure his bungling is so funny and his clumsyness is hilarious, his tripping on everything is literally ME 😂 definitely watch the others they are indeed better especially the next one it's hilarious

A Shot in the Dark is a must watch. They then get progressively less funny, but they all have their moments.

Mystery queen author Agatha Christie's most beloved character was detective Hercule Poirot, appearing in 47 stories. He was best known for his role in Murder on the Orient Express. He was a little Belgium (with sort of a French accent), described as having an egg-shaped head and elegant moustache. He was always so prim and proper, people laughed at him (in the stories), even while he was busy gathering clues to solve each case. In 1975, his obituary was published on the front page of the NY Times, the only time a fictional obituary was so featured. Over the years, there were many film adaptations of Christie's stories, with different actors playing Poirot more or less faithful to books. Often they would try to use a Belgium accent, many times painfully awful. I think Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau with his hideious accent was meant to parody this.

Another amazing Blake Edwards movie is The Great Race starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Natalie Woods and Peter Falk. I'm absolutely positive that you'd love it Jen.

To see dramatic chops of David Niven, watch The Guns of Navarone (among others). Terrific actor.

A SHOT IN THE DARK is a must see, classic Peter Sellers. THE PARTY is another good one

A classic. Jen, I'd love to see you continue with the Clouseau films. The next one is 'A Shot in the Dark'.

i watched these as a child of the 80's.. to me these are timeless comedy classics and they get funnier with each movie. Jen thx for reacting to this, I feel like watching all of them again.

The best pink Panther series movie in my opinion was” a shot in the dark” you will love it.

If you like Peter Sellers and David Niven, I would recommend Murder By Death it's also got Peter Falk (Princess Bride Narrator/Columbo), Eileen Brennan (Mrs. Peacock from Clue), Maggie Smith (Professor McGonnagall), Elsa Lanchester (Katie Nanna from Mary Poppins), Truman Capote and Sir Alec Guiness (OG Obi-Wan Kenobi!)

The "P" on the glove stands for The Phantom,Charles nickname, the Pink Panther is the Diamond 🎩

Peter Sellers was a massive British movie star. He was in The Ladykillers (1955), The Naked Truth, Two Way Stretch and The Mouse That Roared.

Jenn you're one of my favorite people we have the exact same sense of humor ..when I was a kid I loved the pink panther movies

Yes watch all of them they are great. Wait till you meet Kato inspector Clouseau Butler

Fave Pink Panther flick is The Pink Panther Strikes Again, still hilarious to this day imho

Can't go wrong with "A shot in the dark" best Pink Panther movie

You have every reason to love Peter Sellers. I like his last movie, "Being There" The best, but honestly, any of them are great.

This was originally intended to be the first in a series of caper movies centered around David Niven as Sir Charles but Peter Sellers completely stole the movie. The result was Clouseau became the focus instead.

Jen, I loved your reaction to this, I really hope that you do the others in the series. The cartoon came later after the films it was based on them.

Soo much fun to watch this with you, Jen. You’re going to love what is coming yet in this series of movies. The focus now goes fully on Peter Sellers . And as long as Sellers is playing Clouseau, the comedy is classic!! :)

Great pick, it was fun watching this with you. Peter Sellers was at his best. The best movie for me in this series is the 1975 release Return of The Pink Panther... hilarious

Saw this at a drive-in double feature with "A Shot in The Dark." "Do you have a... li cense uh?"

The old dude’s chair is a boss move, by the most calm and collected character in the film.

The 1970's "Panther" films with the late, great Peter Sellers were always my favorites to watch on television as a young child.

DEFINITELY more Pink Panther! Most of the supporting characters are introduced in “A Shot in the Dark”, the immediate sequel. There were several sequels in the 1970s.

Love the Pink Panther! You must watch the follow on movies!

Have a strong memory of watching Revenge of the Pink Pather on VHS as a teen, together with friends... we were literly "rofl"-ing, rolling on the floor laughing.

More Pink Panther please & thank you Jen.

"Someone over here, someone over there, people just missing each other". Now add "Murders!" to the plot and you have completely described "A Shot In The Dark", the second Pink Panther/Clouseau movie. You'll like that one too. (Another Henry Mancini score!) Looking forward to your reaction!

Before Sellers made movies, he was several characters in the 1950s UK radio show, The Goon Show. He was primarily the suave George Sanders-like villain, a dumb boy scout, and a blustering army major accompanied by a barrage of bombshells and artillery which was generally hinted to be his bowel movements.

A Shot In The Dark, the sequel to this is hilarious. The Return of the Pink Panther is actually very funny too!

Haven't seen this in ages! haha So much fun, such a classic... one of my favourite Peter Sellers is The Party, one worth checking out. ;) "Birdie num-num". lol

More Panther...!!! The ultimate Sellers movie is "The Party"...!!! A must see...!!!

The next movie in the series, A Shot in the Dark, is actually way better and has one of the coolest open scenes ever.

you should've been a world famous jewel thief🤩

these movies are so much fun and the just the way he talk

For about the last 55 years every time I hear the word 'bumbling,' Peter Sellers' face flashes through my mind. This movie cracked my right up.

I loved the Pink Panther cartoons when I was a kid. I remember when this would come on TV, I'd always be disappointed that it was just some old movie and not the cartoon.

YES!!!! This is one of the coolest theme songs ever! The Theme from Peter Gunn is pretty darn cool too Stickler!!!

Good Afternoon, Jen💝I'm here for some Funny Laughs😂and some Smooth Jazz!🎷(LOL)👍

Sellers was a total genius you should defo watch the other panther movies there was also many British comedies from the 50s and 60s that he was hilarious in.

These 3 are the best Pink Panther films... A Shot in the Dark (1964) Return of the Pink Panther (1975) Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) These three will have you rolling... Peter Sellers at his very best !

I believe Peter Sellers most underrated performance is Hrundi V. Bakshi in The Party. Even today there is no reaction to this gem.

Keep on with The Pink Panther! More to come!!!! CLASSIC!!!!

I remember first seeing the pink panther movies many years ago -- and seeing Peter Sellers for the first time. By the end of the movies my ribs hurt from laughing so hard.

Peter Sellers as Clauseau is pure Comedy gold. Love the Pink Panther movies.

The opening sequence of the sequel, A Shot in the Dark, is one of the all time great bits. It gives all the evidence to solve the mystery, but only if you watch very carefully.

David Niven was a highly decorated commando in WWII. Super tough.

Ah, the day we've all been waiting for. You clearly enjoyed this Jen (who wouldn't?) I hope you'll watch the other Pink Panther movies at some point, with new characters to add to the fun. Without giving too much away: the interactions between Clouseau, and his superior Chief Inspector Dreyfus are priceless.

I grew up on reruns of these movies on TV in the 70s.

Jen, great reaction! A little known Peter Sellars film...THE PARTY! You will love the accent! Thanks againJen for all your hard work and dedication 😊

and hence, the Pink Panther cartoons was born from this movie... also, this movie is a sequel to the movie A Shot in the Dark, that introduced the world to Inspector Clouseau.

The next one doesn't include "Pink Panther" in the title, but it's my favorite. A Shot in the Dark puts Sellers in the center of the story and builds his entire little world around him.

Pink Panther was a cartoon on tv and when you’d go to the theater to see a movie before the actual movie started they would play a couple cartoons and one was usually The Pink Panther !! Yes I’ve always loved the theme song. !!!

I had forgotten just how good this movie is. Thanks for the reminder!

Yes! I'd love to see reactions to the rest of the series, I think you'll enjoy them too. This is actually one of my favorites though. I liked the lodge location, and the scene at the beginning where the wife escapes by pulling a clever outfit change is still one of my favorites. The bumbling comedy continues with the series, so lots more goofy mistakes, close calls, and silliness from Sellers. ~Caroline

23:37 - "Idiots" - Plus great 'eyes closed' smile.

The Pink Panther cartoon was inspired by the title sequences from the movie. Gold Key also published a comic book back in the 70s (where the Pink Panther always spoke in rhyme????) He only actually speaks in two of the old cartoons.

Luv seeing and hearing you laugh! 😂 i knew you would enjoy this movie! How did you like the theme? Peter Seller's is great in these movies i hope you will continue the p.p. series! Thanks for sharing Jen ❤️💛

Hi Jen. Obviously in this movie The Pink Panther is a gem but the animated intro was popular enough that The Pink Panther would become a much beloved animated character. When I was growing up I knew The Pink Panther as a cartoon character before I even realised this film existed.

The sax theme is so cool, and is, to quote Jen, "good sneaking music."

Henry Mancini wrote the Pink Panther theme, and Don Menza played the saxophone; years later, Don's son Nick Menza played drums for eleven years with Megadeth before his dismissal from that band. In 2016 Nick had a heart attack on stage playing with his group OHM and sadly passed away. Niven and Sellers owned this movie.

This movie is what started the whole Pink Panther phenomenon.

I'm so glad you reacted to this! It's crazy because just the other day I was thinking that nobody has really done reactions to these movies. One thing I had forgotten about this one was that ALL of the main characters had moments of physical comedy, not just Clouseau. That would change in the later movies, when only the comical characters would do pratfalls, but the "suave" characters would not. Looking forward to future reactions in this series!

Inspector - Does your dog bite? Hotel Owner - No IYKNYK 😅

Two of Sellers’ best films are, ‘The Party’ (1968), and, ‘Being There’ (1979). ‘The Party’ is problematic for some because Sellers’ plays a man from India, and so he is in brown face to look the part. His character in the movie is an innocent, truthful, loveable man, who ends up being the sanest, nicest person in the film. In the end he wins a girl’s heart but it seems like they both know it’s too difficult to go further into a relationship because of their racial differences. It’s quite heartbreaking. Apparently, the movie was well liked in India. Most of the film is just a wild party with Sellers doing one hilarious thing after another in an ultra modern, gadget filled Hollywood mansion where the party takes place. It’s one of my favourite comedies of all time. ‘Being There’ has Sellers playing a man of incredibly low intellect who, through a series of misfortunes, ends up being mistaken as some kind of economic genius by the most powerful people in Washington D.C. It sound kind of like a dumb premise, but it’s a brilliant film. It was one of the best films of 1979 which I think is the strongest year ever for great films. 1979 has an incredibly deep bench of above average films as well as quite a few of the best movies of all time. Thanks for making videos eh.

Peter Sellers was a comedy genius. I love all the Pink Panther movies with him in as he is always brilliant and they all have at least a couple brilliant and memorable comedy set pieces.

If you notice the main plot revolves around the attempt to steal the titular jewel. Peter Sellers was only supposed to have a small role but he proved so funny that they kept adding more scenes.

For those that dont know, a pink panther is an impossibility. Thats because a panther is a black jaguar or black leopard. Its not a species or type of big cat. In oder to be a panther a big cat needs to be black. Which is why a panther cant be pink. Thats a hidden joke that few people pick up. And, yes, ‘black panther’ is a tautology. All the pink panther movies are great. In fact they get crazier and funnier as they go along. This movie was intended as a one off light comedy but closeau - and the pink panther animation (and theme song) - were such a hit they spawned a number of offshoots (including strawberry flavoured ‘pink panther’ chocolate, which i loved when i was a kid). Ps loving your recent choices of viewing - youre not following the highway all the other reactors are on.

Please consider the next few Pink Panther movies as well Jen, they only get better. 😊

This was the very first of the Pink Panther series. The cartoons came later.

I loved this cartoon as a kid. And literally just got done watching the hamburger scene with Steve Martin. Absolutely hysterical.

The Pink Panther theme was nominated for an academy award for best movie theme 1963. It lost to Marry Poppins.

Peter Sellers was a last minute replacement when the previous actor became ill before filming. It was Sellers idea to make Clouseau clumsy. The first scene filmed with him was with the rotating globe, no one on set knew he was going to fall and it was almost ruined because everyone behind the camera cracked up. This was meant to be David Niven’s film but the audience talked about nothing else but Sellers after each screening, and the rest is history:)

10:09 - PRINCESS DALA - Portrayed by Claudia Cardinale. Also known for portraying newly widowed homesteader, Jill McBain in 'Once Upon A Time in the West', opposite Henry Fonda, cast against type as the villain, Charles Bronson as his nemesis and Jason Robards as a bandit. BONUS FACT Back To The Future 3 pays homage to this western with a cinematic shot-for-shot introduction to the town of Hill Valley.

14:32 "I wish he was in this more." Director Blake Edwards thought the same thing. He made the movie with David Niven as the lead, but quickly realised that Peter Sellers was the best thing in it. His next movie, A Shot in the Dark, was turned into another Clouseau movie, and set the formula for all the Pink Panther movies that followed.

You should also watch "The Mouse that Roared"

Clueso was a character on the animated Pink Panther show, and i think his name was less recognisable to audiences, (as the main recurring human character, he was an easy choice for a live action story), while The Pink Panther was much more well known, having product tie ins and been used in advertising, so it made more sense to market this as a "Pink Panther" film

David Niven was class. He was at the end of his run as a leading man but he had been in pictures 30 years by the time this one was made.

The animation was an original creation for the movie, returned in the sequels and was later turned into the Pink Panther TV show which wasn't too shabby.

The zebra running through the storm of fireworks killed. 😂

Return of the Pink Panther and The Pink Panther Strikes Again are my two absolute favourites I can't wait until you get to those.

One of my Mom’s favorites!!! Same theme as the cartoon! Yes everyone over 45ish knows this theme song well!!

"What do I do?" "Answer the door." Not even a joke and yet hilarious.

Don't forget the Animated TV series!!!! People so like the opening credits, they made a TV series, with 0 words in 25 minutes.

To answer Jen's question, the animated theatrical series came after the two first films.

I've seen this and the succeding movies countless times since i was 8 or so and loved it since the first time. The first one has always stood out for being very different, because it didn't focus on Clouseau but on Sir Charles.This doesn't make the movies not less entertaining, but very different from the others imo.
