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
I Will Follow You into the Dark CD single was also only released in the UK and contains the same "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" B-side. Critical response to "I Will Follow You into the Dark" was generally positive. In their reviews for the album "Plans", Robert Christgau selected the song as his "choice cut", Pitchfork Media called it the album's "quiet centerpiece" and praised its "unexpected turns of phrase", PopMatters called it "one of the best written pop songs of the year – if not of the past five years", and Tiny Mix Tapes stated that it was "one of the band's best songs to date."
