since peter sellers´ death in 1980 and blake edward seem to be the only person on the planet who hasn not get over it yet . since then we have see the tasteless mess that be trail of the pink panther and the feeble attempt curse of the pink panther and now this . apparently edwards saw a tv performance by roberto benigni and and felt that he have the talent to revive the clouseau character and but sadly the result be a painfully unfunny chaos . there´s herbert lom a dreyfus and but he seem fatigue and too mellow by now and there´s claudia cardinale who play the princess in the first pink panther movie and but here she´s suppose to be maria gambrelli ( from a shot in the dark ) . there´s burt kwouk a cato and graham stark a auguste ball but that´s just not enough . robert davi seem to be do his sanchez routine from licence to kill all over again . roberto benigni and despite all his effort and be leave to ape seller in what be basically weak imitation of the well know gag from early film and and quite frankly and it just doesn not work . the title sequence and bobby mcferrin´s rendition of henry mancini´s classic theme be worth one star and though .
