Movie review - Pink Panther#2 - "A Shot in the Dark" (1964) ***

 The second Clouseau film is based on a play that had nothing to do with him, but is the one that introduced Dreyfuss (Herbert Lom) and Kato (Burt Kwouk).  It's not bad - very French. Elke Sommer is fun as the maid Clouseau believes is innocent despite all evidence to the contrary. Some slapstick. A lot of slapstick actually. I did prefer the first movie but this has it's own style. A decent mystery.

George Sanders looks old. Bryan Forbes makes a cameo in the nudist sequence.
