Revenge of the Pink Panther
Robert Webber, Robert Loggia, and Paul Stewart carry with them the strong masculine smell of the straight gangster movie, and Peter Sellers's Inspector Clouseau trails after them, skunking up the air as though armed with perfume atomizers and deodorant aerosols. His most direct and telling blast at gangsterdom comes when he disguises himself as a balloon-like Godfather figure such as might float down the street in a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Blake Edwards, the writer and director, endows this tired reprise with his patented blend of innocuous dirty jokes and sterile visual opulence. Herbert Lom, Dyan Cannon. 1978.
