O inspetor Clouseau é designado para resolver o

O inspetor Clouseau é designado para resolver o caso de um assassinato que aconteceu na mansão de um famoso milionário. Porém Clouseau se apaixona pela principal suspeita do caso. Com o sucesso de A Pantera Cor de Rosa, é claro que teríamos uma sequência. Desta vez, o filme é todo baseado no personagem de Sellers, sem os arcos envolvendo os outros personagens do filme anterior. Aqui começa algumas características que tornariam a franquia famosa: o ódio do superior de Clouseau por ele, ao ponto de querer matá-lo e os treinamentos de artes marciais de Clouseau com o seu empregado, Kato. Sellers continua excelente, com a sua naturalidade de acusar confusões. Há sequências engraçadíssimas como o jogo de bilhar entre Clouseau e o milionário e a cena no acampamento nudista. No final, a inspiração é meio Agatha Christie, com todos os suspeitos reunidos, enquanto Clouseau vai montando o quebra-cabeça (à maneira dele). Uma sequência digna do original.

Peter Sellers is hilarious once again as Inspector

Peter Sellers is hilarious once again as Inspector Jacques Clouseau opposite the lovely Elke Sommer and the outrageous Herbert Lom! Director Blake Edwards’ absurdist comedy A Shot in the Dark (1964) is absolutely hysterical! I have seen this movie so many times as a kid and it holds up beautifully. Edwards’ direction is so playful and creative with endless slapstick comedic routines, absurdist verbal wit, and ridiculous physical jokes based around charming characters. There’s a brilliant repeating gag that Clouseau gets mistakenly arrested and it just jump cuts to the blaring sirens and the police wagon taking him away. English actor Peter Sellers is hysterical as the idiotic French Police Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Burt Kwouk is hilarious as Clouseau’s lovable butler and karate trainer Cato. German actress Elke Sommer is so gorgeous and sweet as the accused Italian maid Maria Gambrelli. Herbert Lom’s eye twitching and angry Police Commissioner Charles Dreyfus is hilarious.

A Shot in the Dark is a fantastic

A Shot in the Dark is a fantastic example of how a sequel can stand completely on its own while still expanding the charm of its predecessor. Even without deep familiarity with The Pink Panther, this film works effortlessly thanks to its tight comedic timing, clever writing, and unforgettable performances. What really makes it shine is how confident it is in its own identity. It leans fully into its farcical mystery tone, blending slapstick humor with a genuinely engaging detective setup. The pacing stays sharp throughout, and the humor rarely feels forced, instead coming naturally from character interactions and escalating misunderstandings. Overall, it’s one of those rare comedies that still feels fresh and well-crafted decades later. i’d rate it a 9/10.
