What happens

Inspector Clouseau is a 1968 comedy film, and the third installment in The Pink Panther film series. It was directed by Bud Yorkin, written by brothers Frank Waldman and Tom Waldman and stars Alan Arkin as the titular character. It was filmed by Mirisch Films at the MGM-British Studios, Borehamwood and in Europe. Unlike the previous instalments in the film series, Blake Edwards was not the director, Henry Mancini did not write the film's score, nor did Peter Sellers portray the titular role. All three were involved at that time with the film The Party. Nonetheless, when Sellers and Edwards declined to participate, The Mirisch Company decided to proceed without them. The film languished in obscurity and although it has been released to home video on VHS, DVD and Blu-ray, it was not included in 2004's Pink Panther Collection but was later added to the Ultimate collection released in 2008. The film received mostly negative reviews and performed poorly at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
