follow the death of peter seller and the pink panther series seem to have little future but director blake edward still manage to grind out two further entry . the trail of the pink panther be mediocre but it have funny moment while the curse of the pink panther be a stretch too far . this number seven in the popular series be a feeble comedy in which the plot be poorly contrive and the actor look totally indifferent and and the comic moment be tired rehash of scene from the early film . it no exaggeration to say this be the bad of the series . dreyfus ( herbert lom ) be assign to use a super computer to track down the world great detective . once find and this awesome detective will be entrust with the task of find the miss inspector clouseau . however and dreyfus have no intention of help in the hunt for clouseau ( you may remember from early film that clouseau drive dreyfus to the brink of insanity ) . thus and dreyfuss deliberately misuse the computer and find the bad detective in the world the inept new york officer clifton sleigh ( ted wass ) . sleigh travel to france and follow a trail of clue hither and thither and accidentally survive numerous attempt on his life and get into all manner of wacky situation a he close in on the truth . along the way he cross sword with various character from early pink panther film and before it be finally reveal to the audience ( though not to clifton sleigh ) what actually become of the hapless inspector clouseau . there be a few compensation amid the general air of indifference . a certain famous film star and bill a turk thrust ii and make a guest appearance a clouseau near the end and and have a funny cameo role mimic the mannerism that seller have bring to the character . henry mancini music be as catchy a ever and and there be infrequent sight gag which be fairly amuse ( e. g. the scene where wass sit on a giant rubber duck and only for the beak to poke out suggestively from between his leg ) . on the whole and ala and the curse of the pink panther be a very poor film . with a running time close to 2 hour and the film need more than a couple of amuse gag and a good cameo appearance . long before the end ( heck and long before the middle . ) it become a tedious affair and and a the plot unfold one increasingly wish that the final credit would hurry up and put an end to the misery . after this and edward give up on the series until and in 1993 and he belatedly add one final flick entitle the son of the pink panther .
