Catherine Schell was losing it so often with Peter Seller and laughing uncontrollably, Blake Edwards gave up in trying to get her to stay in character.
True
Catherine's reaction to Peter Sellers' actions is gold in this movie.
He wez a gratt comediawn, neuww?
I read that with each take she just laughed harder until as you said edwards just gave up and left it in. It actually works with the character as she is deeply amused that this goofball would try to snow her.
Faves:
1. A SHOT IN THE DARK
2. THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN
Catherine Schell from Space 1999.An absolute doll.
Herbert Lom as Dreyfuss is amazing. His twitchy eye and crazed laugh always make me laugh.
He steals practically every scene he's in with Sellers
@@billolsen4360 Wonderful actor, I'm happy whenever I see him. I advocate watching 1955's "The LadyKillers", where Sellers, very young, and Lom are together in supporting roles to Alec Guinness (one of the very greats, another wonderful master of disguise like Sellers) and the sweet, adorable, and inestimable Katie Johnson. It's been remade by the Coen brothers, but you should see the first one first, to know what and why things were adapted.
@@melenatorr the first one first.......... a very interesting choice of words.
Bert Kwouk who played Cato Fong was in his last years one of the co-stars on the long running BBC comedy "Last of the Summer Wine".
He played Entwistle the handyman.
"I changed my name to something a little less foreign."
"Oh? What did it used to be?"
"MacGillicudy."
@@josheldridge8546 Perhaps you need new washing machine :) *Entwhistle Electric".
"This is the man who more than anything else in the world would like to see you dead and buried."
"Are you the head waiter that works at the little bistro on the Rue de Brossard?"
Such a good line.
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Fun Fact: Inspector Gadget in his first cartoon episode was originally designed with a mustache, and either from threat of being sued, or worried they might due to the similarity to Inspector Clouseau, they removed his mustache from there on since and had to redraw the original intro. Subsequently, for syndication, every time the first episode is ever aired, a quick dialog takes place where Gadget and Penny discuss how the mustache is a fake and used as a disguise.
@@gutz1981 and the voice of Inspector Gadget was The Late Great Don Adams who played a character similar to Clousseau in that he was also accident prone and also drove his boss nuts. It was a 1960s sitcom called Get Smart.
The whole sequence with the light bulb has me crying with laughter every time 🤣
As much as I adore Peter Sellers in these films, I think Herbert Lom as Dreyfus might be my favorite part of them. 35 years after watching these films for the first time with my mother as a little kid, I still catch myself emulating his twitchy giggle when I'm stressed. XD
The whole hotel room sequence, from beginning to end, IMHO is one of the greatest comedy sequences ever put to film. Practically NO dialogue, and 95% sound effects and sight gags. I've watched this movie ever since I was 3 years old, and almost 50 years later it still cracks me up. Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom (Dreyfuss) are up there with Laurel and Hardy as well as Abbott and Costello. Great choice for a movie reaction!! Love the channel!!
Sellers most iconic role by a mile, but Kubrick's 'Doctor Strangelove' is his pinnacle (in all three of his roles in it!), a must watch if you have never seen it yet.
For me Being There is Sellers' masterpiece.
I concur
but I have not seen Being There.
@@steeleye2112 he was great in an against type casting in that, but sadly the character (not his performance) just left me cold. Mind you I've not watched it since I was a teen in the early 90's, so my opinion may well have matured over time if I watch it again.
I'd also add Chance from one of his last films "Being There."
If you review "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" - that goes absolutely nuts! Inspector Dreyfuss isn't done yet! Bert Kwouk does a cameo in Peter Seller's very last film, "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu" which was re-written because filming wasn't completed. "Being There" is worth the price of popcorn. It's completely different, but was one of Seller's most notable films.
It'd be wonderful if Matthew and Emily could watch Murder By Death...Peter Sellers essentially plays Charlie Chan in that one. It's a great mystery-comedy from Neil Simon with an amazing cast, and pretty much the model for the movie Clue!
@@justinplayfair4638 And a big influence on Glass Onion. I love all but the extreme end of Murder By Death.
"The Pink Panther Strikes Again" is my favorite after "Shot in the dark"~!
I also loved Bert Kwouk as the dictator of Communist China in "The Shoes Of The Fisherman" from 1968. Definitely not a comedy role.
Sellers earlier movies with eeling are also first rate His parts were often small but first rate. Kubrick took full advantage in Lolita and then drcstrangelove
There's another Blake Edwards / Peter Sellers' collaboration, with a brilliant long one take scene, called "The Party"
I'd recommend it.
Birdie Num Num!
Seconded!
"Oh you got me, pardaner"
Sitting down on the dynamite plunger Worthy of Wile E Coyote
The Closeau´s disguises just get "better" and more insane with every film. I just love these films and I hope they get more recognition. I am so, so very glad you are continuing these :)
I consider "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" to best and the funniest in the series.
Catherine Schell was way underrated and under utilized over the years. She played Maya in the second season of “Space: 1999.” She was also a very bright spot in “Moon Zero Two.”
Also in the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service."
She's amazing. Hear from her on Facebook now and again.
She was also in the great "Doctor Who" serial "City of Death", inspiring Tom Baker's funny line, "You're a very beautiful woman, probably..."
Can't wait for you guys to watch and react to The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) it's one of the greatest comedies ever. And it still makes me Laugh uncontrollably
My favourite, when he trying to get in castle 🤣🤣
@@scottysmovies6546 the laughing gas bit is also another highlight of the movie!
@@scottysmovies6546 love the music for those scenes.
Does your dog bite? A classic scene in itself
"Waiter, another Kahlua and ginger ale." Guy Gadbois - utter hero. And "He is Sir Charles Phantom - the notorious Litton." Two of my favorite quotes ever.
As a kid, the next PP movie was my favorite. I’m looking forward to you experiencing it.
Me too.
Do you have a rrrrhhheum?
No, but I’ve got a bimp on the head.
Seeing this the first time in the cinema in 1975, I needed an oxygen tent. I just couldn't breath for laughing continuously.
Glad you enjoyed this! I think the Peter Sellers "Panthers" after this get better as they go along. "Pink Panther Strikes Again" has great moments but "Revenge of the Pink Panther" may be the most memorable of them. It was certainly a fitting swan song for Sellers' incarnation of the role of Clouseau.
Revenge was one of the few films growing up, where I became worried about catching my breath, because I couldn't stop laughing. It would have been great for a lung capacity test.
Herbert Lom absolutely kills in his performance in Revenge. That one Dreyfus scene in that movie is totally worth watching the movie in full. Lom nails each portrayal as Dreyfus even in the lamer non-Clouseau Panther films.
I agree. The next two are amazing! I really hope they watch em both.
13:54 Those dance moves are burning up the channel, Emily is the coolest cat!
You skipped the first film in the series, "The Pink Panther"
The Pink Panther (March 1964)
A Shot in the Dark (June 1964)
Inspector Clouseau [Played by Alan Arkin] (May 1968)
The Return of the Pink Panther (May 1975)
The Pink Panther Strikes Again (December 1976)
Revenge of the Pink Panther (July 1978)
There is also Trail of the Pink Panther, which used cut footage and outtakes to include Peter Sellers after his death.There are also several films with other actors playing Clouseau. Including Curse of the Pink Panther, where due to Clouseau having plastic surgery, he was played by Roger Moore.
@@mamluk I do remember watching that as a kid, but chose to exclude it, because it was sad that he is gone.
A couple of people mentioned it, but while Inspector Clouseau is part of the DNA of Inspector Gadget, another major element was Maxwell Smart, the main character of the TV show "Get Smart" created by Buck Henry and Mel Brooks. He was similarly bumbling, although is a secret agent, not a detective, and the show introduces gadgets. In fact, the influence went far enough that the producers of the show cast Don Adams as Gadget, who also played Maxwell Smart.
A Shot in the Dark and Return of the Pink Panther are the two best Pink Panther movies, although there are at least a couple of other solid ones. Many have mentioned The Pink Panther Strikes Again, but the one that I'd be most curious to see your reaction to was the one odd movie out, Inspector Clouseau (1968), the one of the original run where Peter Sellers didn't play Clouseau. Instead, Alan Arkin took on the role. Actually, the title of this one is a reference to the *return* of Sellers to the role of Clouseau, as well as writer/director Blake Edwards and composer Henry Mancini, all of whom were busy making The Party and passed on the movie. It's a mixed bag, but it's fascinating nonetheless.
'How much? How high is Up?' is a hell of a line.
You need to see the original Pink Panther movie from the 60's
You should also check out The Ladykillers (1955) also starring Peter Sellers,Herbert Lom and Alec Guinness. It's one of the best comedies ever made
One of my favorite details about the production of these movies is that Peter Sellars method acted his role... which really makes me wonder what life on the set must have been like for the other actors...
I hope you get to see the rest of the movies in the series.
1) The Pink Panther
2) A Shot in the Dark
3) Inspector Clouseau
4) The Return of The Pink Panther
5) The Pink Panther Strikes Again
6) Revenge of the Pink Panther
7) Trail of the Pink Panther
8) Curse of the Pink Panther and
9) Son of the Pink Panther
The series started in 1964 and finished up in 1993 if you don't count the reboot with Steve Martin and its sequel.
"Inspector Clouseau" has Alan Arkin in place of Peter Sellers, and doesn't even have Blake Edwards in the director's chair. "Trail" is much like "Plan 9 From Outer Space," having been built around a little unused footage of the dead star. Herbert Lom still provides some laughs, though, I barely remember "Curse" or "Son" at all.
Another wonderful Peter Sellers movie, and one that few seem to have seen (and none are reacting to), is "The Mouse That Roared". As with Dr. Strangelove, Sellers plays three different roles in the movie. It's lots of fun, I definitely recommend it.
"You raving Oriental idiot! There is a time and a place for everything, Cato! And this is it!"
Fun Fact: Most of Lady Litton (Catherine Schell) laughter is genuine. Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers) made her laugh so hard once the camera was rolling, she had a real problem keeping a straight face in many of her scenes with him. This resulted in writer, producer and director Blake Edwards giving up on trying to get her to react like she was supposed to in the script.
Also, the fight scene between Clouseau and Cato in the apartment is hilarious. One has to wonder how long Cato was waiting in the refrigerator. The fight is just very slapstick and clumsy that it makes me die of laughter every time I see it, as well as the Japanese restaurant scene between the two.
I love the details... Aka the icicles on Cato
Burt Kwouk had such a recognizable voice also did the commentary on the English Dub of "The water Margin" series that we got back in the 70s in the UK as well as becoming a main character in the later years of the long running BBC series of "last of the summer wine"
I hope you guys continue watching Pink Panther films but only the ones starring Peter Sellers.
I second that
The ones with mr. Martin are an absolute abomination
The first Martin one was ok... just ok, but it's definitely a much lower bar. It's clearly a film that doesn't quite get it. The second Martin film was completely unsatisfactory. Maybe, it was better than Masters of Disguise & Mr. Magoo, though.
Totally agree.Especially avoid the the "Inspector Clouseau" movie with Alan Arkin.If ever there was a wrong actor for the role...
Compared to the Steve Martin disaster, these movies are so good!
Y'all still missing the very first in the series. It's not as comedic, and he's not a goof, but it still deserves a watch
I love the glamour of the first film. And the comedic moments with Sellers and Capucine are lovely.
Please consider watching my favorite Peter Sellers movie, the Mouse that Roared. It's not as well known, but it's brilliant.
Good one! 👍🏻
I loved the sign outside of the immigration checkpoint of "The Grand Duchy Of Fenwick" which said, "If guard not on duty, go right in"!!!
@@epsteinisms1483 I'm excited to see that other people know and love this movie.
@@njsoapdish I first saw it in elementary school around 1963! I was 11 years old. We loved it as kids even then, and of course my appreciation has grown over the many years. Loved the "Poet And Peasant" overture as well! And scoring a touchdown with the Q-Bomb! Great film!
@@epsteinisms1483 I just really love the premise and how everything backfires in such a funny way.
I love that you did this film but you must watch the next one, which is arguably the best. Dreyfus goes even crazier
Love Sellers, I know this film word for word and it still cracks me up! 🤣
I BEGGED my dad to take me to this. He dropped me off and I settled in to see it. I was like 7 ....and this played...imagine my surprise it wasn't the cartoon Pink Panther..I was so disappointed...doh. I did end up loving and appreciating this movie a few years later. Sellers was a pro
one of the most gifted character actors in history.
@11:09 I hear finding a parking space in France is damn near impossible, LOL
Ah, what a great Tuesday afternoon surprise - thanks Matthew and Emily!
Catherine Schell giggles *almost* as much as Emily! She notoriously couldn't contain herself while working with Sellers...
I love that you guys are doing these!
About time someone reacted to a great movie franchise. Several sequels that are even funnier. Revenge of the Pink Panther and Pink Panther Strikes Again will keep you in stiches.
Always enjoyed the Pink Panther films, makes me think of the OSS117 films.
Those films are great
You have to watch THE PARTY with Peter Sellers directed by Blake Edwards it's even funnier than the Pink Panther movies.
Guys, you MUST check a 1968 Peter Sellers movie: THE PARTY! A masterpiece!!
add "Hudson Hawk" starring Bruce Willis and Andie McDowell to your list please
This was so fun! My dad absolutely loved these movies, and it was such a big deal (1970s!) when one would come on; family viewing every time.
also, this was when i think henry mancini was really in his prime. his compositions throughout the seventies elevated any piece they were used for.
7:00 -- i mean, he got better.
Its notable, that these reviewed Films are almost 50 years old. They are way ahead of its time in terms of situation jokes and slapstick. there were a ton of bloopers, as nobody could manage Sellers deep serious and ultimate dry way to present certain scenes. However as Emily said, some scens in the movies have altered not very well. Some jokes are over the top, or some kind of lame, but thats is due to their age. It was different time and we see here real pioneer movies of comedy. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, review the next PP "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" too.
You guys are so good together. Love your reviews.
This was my first, and favorite Pink Panther movie. I saw it in the theaters, I think.
Emily: "Pippin, are you enjoying the movie ?"
Pippin: "Not any more...."
14:00 All I can think of is the Kids in the Hall Sketch - "He's Cool, He's Hip, He's 45!"
Though we are nothing more than a very small country with just under 6 million inhabitants, but we are so happy to be mentioned in the famous Pink Panther movie 🙂
In one of the sequels without Sellers (I believe it was "Trail", they used unused footage of the previous movies as Sellers died of a heart-attack 1,5yrs prior)
Clouseau has gone missing and is declared dead, and Dreyfuss, now miraculously cured, has been reinstated as Commissionar, and has to give the Eulogy for Clouseau.
And in pure Herbert Lom fashion, delivers it hilariously.
How terrible the movie is, this scene is worth the price of admission.
I think you should watch it for yourselves.
It may even float around on YT.
This Pink Panther Franchise is Brilliant...I've seen them all....I Hope you guys React to ALL the Movies in the franchise
Im surprised more people are not reacting to those old Pink Panther movies. they are so funny.
The next one "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" is my absolute favorite!
Bird vacuum scene: Polly Gone.
The outtakes from this (and the other Panther movies) are very funny.
They could barely get through the one-joke scene (you can even see them trying to hold it together in the cut they used)
"Do you know the way to the.Palace Hotel?"
"Yes."
Christopher Plummer's daughter Amanda was "Honey Bunny" in Pulp Fiction
Another one of my ALL TIME FAV's from when I was a kid!! 😃 ..... Watching it now!
Great reaction love the pink panther franchise 🔥💯😆😅😄🔥
You should watch the first Pink Panther movie.
This is one of my favorite moves of all time.
Mr Kwouk is just so dreamy
Another Blake Edwards classic is The Great Race. It has many great actors from the 50s and 60s and is a riot from start to finish.
A minute detail, but still quite impressive for the time: The scene in Lugasch, where Lord Litton is told the 'dead or alive' bit ( 14:25 ) - the camera shot with him fleeing until his drop is either well-planned (as it seems to be a continuous shot) or REALLY well cut at the points where the camera passes the columns.
I should point out that, if you guys continue to delve into the Pink Panther saga, keep in mind that continuity is largely a suggestion.
Any pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers are absolute classics and will always make you laugh but holy cow do you have something to look forward to in pink Panther strikes again see it go crazy laugh your face off and have a great time
I had a girlfriend who had a pink panther tattoo on her inner thigh. My second favourite kitty she had. ( oh behave ) Im68 years old. All my jokes are about this good. That’s why I was a Painter not a comedian. Peter Sellers was simply one of the best physical comic actors. I loved the whole series .
Ive suggested this movie series to so many reactors for a long time.... You are the first to do it, thank you I believe theres 4 movies plus where it began with A Shot In The Dark
Loved spotting all the great British character actors I grew up with. 🙂
I'm surprised you guys haven't reacted to the first Pink Panther movie, which came out just a few months before A Shot in the Dark. Interestingly, Clouseau isn't the main character in that movie and he doesn't have his peculiar French accent (or at least Peter Sellers does not exaggerate it as much as in the following films). Although it is the film that started the series, I do not consider it the best, but watching it allows you to see how Clouseau's character evolved. Of course, that movie is still funny and worth watching.
One would have to think that Mr Bean as well as the Airplane and Naked Gun movies had to draw some inspiration from Peter Sellers.🤔
#title
(For Emily, based on all the figures, items, and graphic novels in the background)
"Empress of Entertainment Ephemera"
As a side note, yes Inspector Gadget was inspired by Inspector Clouseau but, also Maxwell Smart of Get Smart. Don Adams voiced Inspector Gadget and, played Maxwell Smart.
@23:46, this was the funniest part of the movie!!! My biggest complaint with this movie is, there were really two completely different stories going on. Christopher Plummer was on his on adventure, and Peter Sellers following the wife the whole time. 'The Pink Panther Strikes Again' is probably funniest of them all. Or maybe 'Shot in the Dark'
The movie that started it all was called the Pink Panther..David Niven was the older..established leading man..hoping this would mark his comeback..Robert Wagner was a young good looking actor with credits under his belt..but Peter Sellers stole the show with his Inspector ..falling..slipping, sliding, tripping..and popping champagne in bed…followed by A Shot in the Dark with Dreyfus..in 1963..Claudia Cardinale as the princess and Capucine..who played John Wayne’s love interest in North to Alaska..1960..with Stewart Granger..whose real name was James Stewart..but couldn’t use it since it had already been registered by SAG for the one we know as Jimmy Stewart..and Capucine died by suicide because of depression..shortly after ..
Next film on the list is 'The Pink Panther Strikes Again' (1976) followed by 'Revenge of the Pink Panther' (1978), but after Peter Sellers died in July 1980, director/creator Blake Edwards continued the series with three tribute films to Peter Sellers which included Trail of the Pink Panther (1982) immediately followed by Curse of the Pink Panther (1983) which starred Ted Wass. The last one was Son of the Pink Panther (1993) which starred Roberto Benigni.
Loving this Sellers road you've been on, loved yer giddyness, as per usual. I hope this might mean a viewing of his The Party and/or Murder By Death one day, fingers crossed.
You two need to watch Peter Seller's in THE PARTY. It's one of the funniest films that he ever made. It will have both of you laughing in tears.
The best break in scene ever!
I love Peter Sellers and I love Pink Panther films👍👍👍👍
All media decades ago had a much slower pace, as they were closer to stage performances. Modern media is for people jaded by a lifetime of soundbites and video clips, so they're far faster and tighter.
3:50 that was an impression of Charlie Chaplin.
#note The writer director of these Pink Panther films Blake Edwards wrote some of & directed wonderful movies Operation Petticoat (w Cary Grant) Days of Wine & Roses (w Jack Lemmon) The Party (w Peter Sellers) Victor Victoria (Julie Andrews & Tony Curtis) The Great Race (w Jack Lemmon Tony Curtis) Breakfast at Tiffanni's (Audrey Hepburn) 10 with Dudley Moore --- Also he wrote and directed many episodes of a radio detective program RICHARD DIAMOND PRIVATE DETECTIVE which i love with actor Dick Powell
Christopher Plummer will always be the Duke of Wellington to me.
To me as well (to say nothing of Commodus Caesar)! 😎
This one was the most entertaining of the entire series in my opinion.
Revenge of Pink Panther and Shot in the Dark are my 2 favorite Peter S. movies.
Good movie. The destruction from Closeau and Kato is magnificent. "Bean" is sorta like that. Here's a great Bill Murray comedy that nobody has reacted to "The Man Who Knew Too Little" #title
As a young 'un, I used to be disappointed and confused by these movies because the cartoon Pink Panther was not a part of the story. He then became a separate character with his own cartoon series.
Jacques Clouseau is the best cop in town !!
I love the pink panther Franchise
All meuvies are great.
The pink panther strikes again is my favorite meuvie of the franchise.
Can’t wait to watch your reaction to The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976). It’s so funny I couldn’t breathe! 😆
A who's who of British comedy actors, David "Cockleshell Hero" Lodge, Victor Spinetti,
Mike Grady, John Bluthal, and of course Graham Stark in his second Panther film. I'm slightly surprised Spike Milligan never showed up in any of them.
"He find some way to Nuke the world" ...... PLZZZZZZZ watch "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
my father introduced me 2the pink panther series at a young age, and I love them to death. I can't wait to see you guys react to my two favorites, pink panther strikes again and revenge of the pink panther 😂
This movie did have pacing issues, but it sets up one of the greatest films of all time "The Pink Panther Strikes Again"! #DreyfussWasRight
One of the greatest comedies ever made! :D
Peter Sellers made deadpan slapstick comedy look effortless.
