Director Blake Edwards ignites a powder keg of laughter in this "delightful" (Boxoffice) caper involving a most inefficient search for France´s most inept detective - using the bluntest instruments possible! Featuring David Niven (in his final screen performance), Robert Wagner, Herbert Lom, Ted Wass, and a hilarious cameo by Roger Moore, Curse of the Pink Panther overflows with "unadulterated fun" and "naughtiness" (Los Angeles Times)!.
With Clouseau still missing, the French president orders Clouseau´s archrival - the dangerously deranged Dreyfus (Lom) - to find him. Having no such intentions, Dreyfus ingeniously hires the world´s worst detective, the New York Police Department´s not-so-finest Clifton Sleigh (Wass), to ensure that Clouseau is never located. But it´s beginning to look like his foolproof plan could end up making him look like the fool!..
