A Shot In The Dark

Like the Marx Brothers or W.C. Fields, Peter Sellers is the real thing decrees Newsweek, and as the witless Inspector Clouseau, he proves it again and again in this riotous film of "continuous laughs" (Boxoffice) that'll leave you tickled pink! The French have a word for a man like Clouseau: idiot! Across Paris, baffled citizens want to know if the inspector is in hot pursuit of a criminal...or just in love with one! Mistakenly assigned to a high-prestige case in which a millionaire's chauffeur has been murdered, Clouseau finds himself falling (literally) for the prime suspect - a beautiful parlor-maid (Elke Sommer) whose talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time is almost as great as his. But as the body count grows higher, and the parlor-maid's criminal record grows longer, Clouseau realizes he'll have to find the "real" culprit quickly - or his career will be finit!
