The Return of the Pink Panther	comment	The Return of the Pink Panther (1975) is the fourth film in The Pink Panther franchise, and the first one directed by Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau since A Shot in the Dark over a decade earlier.The Pink Panther diamond is stolen from a Lugash museum, and Clouseau is called upon to seek it out once more. The evidence suggests the Phantom is again responsible, but in fact Sir Charles Lytton (Christopher Plummer) has been framed. The film follows the parallel plots of Clouseau trailing Lytton's wife Claudine (Catherine Schell) to Switzerland and Lytton's journey to Lugash to try and find out who actually did it. Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Dreyfus' (Herbert Lom) repeated attempts to kill Clouseau land him in a mental institution at the end, leading directly into The Pink Panther Strikes Again.Carol Cleveland of Monty Python fame has a small part as a woman diving into a swimming pool.

The Return of the Pink Panther / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
The Return of the Pink Panther / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Chief Inspector Dreyfus of the SÃ»retÃ© (who should certainly know how to handle a gun) regularly confuses a realistic gun-cigarette-lighter with his similar-looking pistol, merely creating a small flame when he actually wants to shoot, and firing the pistol when he thinks he's lighting a cigarette. The first time he does the latter, he only gets Ash Face. The second time, he shoots (part of?) his nose off. The third time, he wounds one his subordinates.

Lady Litton isnâ€™t mentioned at all in the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue despite being the one who actually stole the diamond. At the end of the original film, Clouseau's wife Simone elopes with Sir Charles, but here he is married to Lady Claudine Litton. This would not be so unusual if not for the fact that in Trail of the Pink Panther, he is married to Simone.

The Return of the Pink Panther / int_c06ec61e	comment	Corpsing: In-Universe. Lady Litton clearly recognizes Clouseau in disguise without any effort every time they meet, and is visibly trying not to crack up at his antics whenever he does something stupid (which, being Clouseau, is pretty much always).

The Return of the Pink Panther / int_c4f3a09a	comment	Share the Male Pain: While Clouseau is investigating the room the Pink Panther was displayed in, he picks up a device The Phantom used to steal it, the device itself best described as a hinged combination of a grabber and a crane game claw. The arm swings down and the closed claw nails him in the crotch, cue museum curator and a guard wincing.

The Return of the Pink Panther / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: The most lighthearted entry in the series. Especially compared to the previous "canon" entry, A Shot in the Dark, which was a murder mystery.

The Return of the Pink Panther / int_e2a41c3b	comment	Literal-Minded: The Swiss cab driver Clouseau tells to 'follow that car'. He does so. On foot, leaving Clouseau sitting in the back seat of the taxi with a confused expression. A few minutes later, as Clouseau walks past the cab again, the cabbie's still running after the car.

The driver gets out of the car and follows said car on foot. Later, when Clouseau finally gets to the hotel, the driver can be seen still chasing the car.

The Return of the Pink Panther / int_eadc018f	comment	Pinball Protagonist: If Clouseau had been cut from the movie, the only part of the actual investigation that would change is the question of how the Littons escaped from Colonel Sharki in the climax, as without Clouseau's bumbling, Dreyfus wouldn't have been there to try to shoot him and end up killing Sharki by mistake.

The Return of the Pink Panther / int_eb8e12d6	comment	Rules Lawyer: The 'blind' beggar at the start of the film appears to demonstrate this knowledge, as he argues that he isn't breaking the law against playing music in public for money without a licence as people give the monkey sitting next to him the money rather than the man himself, and the monkey just happens to live with him rather than him legally owning the monkey (this may not be true, but the explanation at least sounds plausible).
