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
Shot in the Dark (song) has rarely appeared on Ozzy Osbourne greatest hits compilations as a result. One exception was the original release of "The Ozzman Cometh"; however, the song was omitted from the 2002 re-mastered re-release of this compilation and replaced with "Miracle Man." Both "Just Say Ozzy" (an EP containing an alternate version of "Shot in the Dark") and "The Ultimate Sin" were deleted from Ozzy's catalog in 2002 (although they are now available on iTunes and all digital outlets). The Wildlife version of the song was covered by the Overland brothers' post-Wildlife AOR band FM on their 2012 release "Only Foolin' EP".
