The Genius Of Peter Sellers
The inimitable Peter Sellers strikes again as Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau, in this fourth installment of the classic `Pink Panther' series, `The Pink Panther Strikes Over again,' directed past Blake Edwards. Given the fact that the assessment of comedy is intrinsically subjective, this film is arguably express joy for laugh and sight gag for sight gag the funniest of the five (followed closely by the second of the series, the hilarious farce, `A Shot In The Night). In this one, onetime Main Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) is about to be released from the mental infirmary-- in which he has resided since beingness driven crazy past Clouseau-- when on the very afternoon of his hearing he is visited by none other than Clouseau himself, who has come to speak on behalf of his former boss. Suffice to say that by the time Clouseau is through `helping,' he is driven from the premises by the relapsed, raving madman, Dreyfus. And it's but the outset of the inept French Inspector's antics that, before it is over, will include a trip to the Ocktoberfest, encounters with a dozen hit-men from effectually the earth, a beautiful Russian spy named Olga (Lesley-Anne Down), a surprise Egyptian spy (who will remain nameless) and a ane-human being assail on a castle. As Laurel and Hardy proved so many times before, for every activity at that place is a reaction; a theorem of which proof is unequivocally provided here past the relationship between Sellers and Lom. This was the picture in which Edwards and his stars not only farther devised, but honed to perfection, their foolproof formula for laughs: Later the `offset moving ridge' of hilarity provided past Sellers, it is followed upward-- in just enough instances to be totally constructive-- by Lom'south reaction to one.) Sellers directly (as in the first, classic scene at the mental infirmary), or 2.) Lom'south reaction to Seller's antics as they are related to him by a third political party. It'southward a one-ii punch that never fails and which, in effect, derives twice the fun from a unmarried gag. And it's vivid. But at the end of the twenty-four hour period, it must be noted that in that location is one element in a higher place all else that accounts for the success of this film, and that, of course, is the Homo himself, Peter Sellers. Sellers must be regarded as-- if not `the,' then at least ane of the-- funniest actors ever to grace the argent screen. There was no end to the ways he could make you express joy; from the subtlest expression-- an eye averted or peradventure the slight raising of an eyebrow-- to the broadest slapstick, information technology was all within his personal domain, and he was the Master. Physically, practically all he had to do to get a laugh was show upwardly; consider the scene in which he arrives at the infirmary to visit Dreyfus: Every bit he saunters beyond the backyard of the vast grounds surrounding the buildings, a croquet mallet and ball lying to 1 side catches his eye; there is just the slightest hesitation in his step, the subtlest change of expression in his eyes and the merest inclination of the head. And at that place, in that briefest of moments upon the screen, y'all know-- beyond the shadow of a dubiousness-- what is about to transpire. And you lot're right; a moment subsequently Clouseau has the mallet in his mitt and his foot on the ball, and even every bit it'due south happening-- just as you lot knew it would in that separate second before it did-- he has y'all on the floor laughing. That was the gift-- and the genius-- of Peter Sellers. Was every film he made a classic? A great film? Of class non; simply you would be hard put to notice a single performance of his, fifty-fifty in a bad film (Like 1970'south `There's A Girl In My Soup'), that did not embody that unique spark that defined him. It was certainly alive in his portrayal of Clouseau (possibly the definitive Seller's character), and in retrospect, what a shame information technology seems that there were simply five `Panther' movies ever made. But so it is, and shall ever be. The supporting cast includes Burt Kwouk (as the ever faithful and attacking manservant, Cato), Andre Maranne (Francois), Colin Blakely (Alec Drummond), Leonard Rossiter (Inspector Quinlan), Richard Vernon (Dr. Fassbender), Briony McRoberts (Margo) and Michael Robbins (Jarvis). A funny movie that showcases one of Cinema's truly unique and funny actors, `The Pinkish Panther Strikes Over again' is a side-splitting, fun movie you can watch over and over and never grow tired of. The best of the series, it stands as a glowing tribute to the comedic genius of Peter Sellers. I charge per unit this one ten/10.
