What is this film? Bad story, bad comedy, bad acting, and a bad movie altogether.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a mildly amusing film - the first in a long series of films, such as 'Revenge of the Pink Panther' etc. Inspector Clouseau doesn't feature as much in this first/initial film and the film is less action oriented, with most scenes taking place in a bedroom (hotel room?), with Sir Charles Lytton (played by David Niven) schmoozing a young lady. It did feel a little bland to start with, although it became more amusing in the 2nd half, when there's a costume party and some of the more comic, farcical type comedy/plot elements come out. It certainly takes a somewhat more surreal turn and I can't say I wasn't entertained by then but the first half I didn't find especially engrossing, although what I can say is that I liked how the female characters were able, on ocassion, to stick up for themselves and issued some fairly decent put downs to the somewhat lecherous male characters - good for you!. Oh and it almost goes without saying that it features the iconic, animated comic-type title sequence with the titular cat, who went on to have his /(her?) own spin off animated cartoon show. I also recognised John Le Mesurier present in one of the final scenes - whenever I see him, I think of Dad's Army (British WWII based sitcom) of course!.

I liked the madcap feel to the final few scenes of this film and I'd recommend the film to fans of David Niven, Peter Sellers, fans of the Pink Panther franchise obviously and farcical comedy film fans in general I suppose. Oh and also, finally, there's a nice scene or two showing cars rushing about in a chase, although we dont witness the full chase itself but I thought it was fun to see the old cars whizzing by regardless.… Expand
