Compared to the new version of “The Pink Panther,” starring Steve Martin, this film sadly looks dated and doesn’t have enough good moments. This was the next to last “Pink Panther” film starring Peter Sellers, who passed away a short while after the release of this film. The film’s best moments include Inspector Clouseau, but the plot moves so quickly into various directions and comes across a bit convoluted.
As far as this being a famiy-friendly film, there is a character who sleeps with his secretary, although they are shown with clothing on and it does not show a sexual relation between them. However, it is implied. Due to the fact that it also shows some scenes in a house of prostitution, and is heavy on cleavage and domination, and it also includes a lot of sexual innudendo, the film falls short of eligibility in Dove’s approval range.
