trail of the pink panther ( 1982 ) have gather much talk about it lead star peter seller and who die two year before the film be release . one might ask how be this possible . simple and director blake edward take footage from previous pink panther film along with new footage to make a story . one will also ask the question whether these delete scene can really last for 90 minute and and they will be right . the film follow the story of when the famed diamond the pink panther be steal once again . inspector clouseau ( peter seller ) be again call to solve the case and and at the same time drive dreyfus ( herbert lom ) insane . but clouseau plane go miss . the film then show a reporter ( joanna lumley ) talk to people who know him best . the first half which seller be in excels ( even though one can easily tell that all his scene be just delete scene ) and but once he go and every go downhill . joanna lumley be god awful and give an annoy french accent . it also seem a bit pathetic to recycle old clip from previous film . however and david niven and herbert lom help the film a bit . while the film have many problem ( actaully many ) and it a good piece of comedy and and also a nice tribute to the late great peter seller .
