A Shot in the Dark (1964 film) A Shot in the Dark (1964 film) A Shot in the Dark is a 1964 British-American DeLuxe Color comedy film directed by Blake Edwards in Panavision. It is the second installment in "The Pink Panther" film series. Peter Sellers is featured again as Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the French Sûreté. Clouseau's blundering personality is unchanged, but it was in this film that Sellers began to give him the idiosyncratically exaggerated French accent that was to later become a hallmark of the character. The film also marks the first appearances of Herbert Lom as his long-suffering boss, Commissioner Dreyfus, as well
A Shot in the Dark (Family Guy) declares that their friendship is over. As the mob turns on Cleveland and his family outside of their home, Peter intercedes and admits to shooting Cleveland Jr., and says he should be held responsible for his actions, even if it means going to jail. As Joe arrests Peter, Cleveland is touched by this action and falsely claims to have shot Cleveland Jr. himself, causing the crowd to flee in disinterest in black-on-black crime. He admits that he realized that Peter only shot Cleveland Jr. due to his stupidity, not due to being racist, and forgives him. Peter apologizes to Cleveland
