- I watched the 1963 film, The Pink Panther, starring Peter Sellers, David Niven, Capucine, Claudia Cardinale, Robert Wagner, James Lanphier, and many others. I hope that this is the absolute first one out of the many, if not, you guys can roast me in the comment section! I enjoyed this film, AND I believe I am becoming a better detective myself!

"Tell me, inspector - Signor Phantom - all those robberies. How did you ever manage it?"
"Well, you know... it wasn't easy."
Fun Fact: An animated Pink Panther was created for the opening credits because writer and director Blake Edwards felt that the credits would benefit from some kind of cartoon character. David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng decided to personify the film's eponymous jewel, and the Pink Panther character was chosen by Edwards from over a hundred alternative panther sketches. The Pink Panther introduced in the opening credits became a popular film and television character in his own right, beginning with the cartoon short The Pink Phink (1964) the following year.
Frozen Balls Fact: David Niven recalled in one of his funniest anecdotes that his private parts got frostbitten during the skiing scene, which was shot on an extremely cold day in the Italian Alps. He said that, reasoning that alcohol made you feel warm, he dipped the "parts" in a glass of whiskey. He said that it worked but the pain was excruciating.
Chaotic Casting Fact: With just two weeks to go before shooting begun, the producers decided that Ava Gardner's erratic lifestyle could affect filming and decided not to offer her the part of Madame Clouseau. Capucine was hired in a hurry, but Peter Ustinov's wife felt this would affect the calibre of the production and told him to withdraw. From this chaos, Peter Sellers became an international superstar.
The film's score, by Henry Mancini, is absolutely legendary.
I think the second one, actually called "a shot in the dark"... is one of the funniest ones. They are all pretty great though. Great reaction.
‘Shot in the Dark’ is my favorite of the series
A shot in the dark is the 1st to totally centre on Closeau,as technically the character is more a foil to Niven's master thief🎩
...in the first film for my reply above🎩
I think "Shot in the Dark" is based on a stage play. Did the play feature Clauseau or just a random detective? Edit: I think they changed it to fit as a sequel.
It's funny that you mentioned David Niven's character reminded you of James Bond. Both the clumsy character Peter Sellers and David Niven each played James Bond in the 007 parody "Casino Royale".
Fun movie! Still, I can see her comparison, with the sophisticated European locales.
There is a line which missed RUclips where the zebra snaps to attention and Clouseau says “I’ll have your stripes for that!”. One of the funniest jokes in cinema. A great choice and the rest are good, too.
Real happy that someone finally is checking the original P Panther series I saw Revenge of Pink Panther in cinema as a kid. This is where films like Naked Gun got ideals for comedy. Peter Seller is brilliant
The movie was supposed to unquestionably star David Niven, but Peter Sellers caused so much laughter as Clousseau that Niven, classy as always, surrendered the movie to him. Similarly, when Niven was the A-lister in the epic "Around the World in Eighty Days", he yielded the actual spotlight to Mexican comic genius Cantinflas.
Funny Later would both play James Bond together in the 1960s Casino Royale.
There is a film called "After the Fox" one of Peter Sellers funniest movies. At one point he is directing a film, and one actor asks "What is this seen about", he paces a few steps and shouts "Nothing its about nothing!" while doing a very specific hand motion. In the TV show Seinfeld, Jerry asks George what it the TV show going to be about and Jason Alexander say "Nothing, it's about nothing" and does the exact hand motion as Peter Sellars did (30 years earlier).
@@gerardcote8391 David Niven was one of Ian Fleming's picks to play James Bond.
@@ThomasVanhala And he played him in the Original Casino Royale, movie.
@@gerardcote8391 yes I seen that movie a few times.
The Pink Panther Strikes Again is absolutely hilarious!!! Peter Seller's is a genius🙂🙂🙂
Your viewing schedule needs to be, like others below suggest, SHOT IN THE DARK then 1976's RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER.
The sequel, "A Shot in the Dark", is even funnier!
Saw this movie as a kid and instantly fell in love with Claudia Cardinale. She is #2 of my top ten favorite actresses of all times. Should check out Once Upon a Time in the West, one of the best 3 Westerns of all time (along with Magnificent 7 and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly)
These movies 100% get better, but it's so good to lay the foundation!!!!
Picture on the wall that shocked you in beginning is of Capitoline Wolf sculpture which shows she- wolf who according the legend cared twin brothers Romulus and Remus after their grandfather tried to kill them. Romulus and Remus founded Rome.
"Starting to remind me of James Bond..."
Funny you should say that, Kat. Niven plays 007 in the very strange 1967 Casino Royale, also with Sellers.
After watching and rewatching Pink Panther movies, I can't believe that I never saw this one! Good gracious!
"The Pink Panther" series had a long run, even after the death of Peter Sellers in 1980. The next movie with Inspector Clouseau is called "A Shot In The Dark" with Peter Sellers and Elke Sommer. A few years later a movie called "Inspector Clousseau" was made, but this time starring Alan Arkin in the lead role. This movie didn't do as well as the previous films. Then in 1975, "The Return of the Pink Panther" brought back Peter Sellers as Inspector Clousseau. There were three more Pink Panther films after that with Peter Sellers, the last one released after the actor's death used footage from previous films to piece together what they could of an unfinished film. Yet, there were even more Pink Panther movies released later on. The last two starred Steve Martin who used his own comic style to fill the role of Inspector Clouseau.
I have the box set - "The Pink Panther' and 'A Shot In The Dark' are the best of them.Sadly,they went from this high level to patently ridiculous at the end.
Fun film.. But I have to say the followup "A Shot in the Dark" is great.. and so is the 4th I think "Revenge.." Herbert Lom as the put upon Inspector by far is my favorite character... Lol.. he just gets out through it so hard throughout the series.
A Shot in the Dark" is fantastic.
@@brandonflorida1092 agreed 100% if Kat chooses to continue with these series of movies I'd be overjoyed.
@@thegladve Me too and I hope other reactors pick up on it, since most of them only seem to be able to copy.
@@brandonflorida1092 all for the better as teachers would often say to their students "if you feel like you have to copy on your tests fine, just be sure to copy from someone who actually knows the answers."
@@thegladve Mediocre recent movies are done over and over in a continuous loop with young reactors declaring them masterpieces while the thousand greatest movies ever made have never been reacted to.
Peter Sellers is the MAN. LOVE THIS ENTIRE SERIES.
I have been begging RUclips reactors to do this movie or its first sequel, "A Shot in the Dark," in comments for years and been ignored. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hopefully, others will follow you and react to it too. Great reaction.
Someone requested it, quite a while ago actually, so I had to react to it :)
Please continue with the series!
It’s nothing but comedy gold!
My very Spanish and elegant father admired the easy elegance of David Niven (Sir Charles). One of my father's favorite movie moments is the one where Sir Charles plummets into the snow house and emerges to say politely "Good evening."
Oh, that was such a good scene! :D Your father sounds like a fine man :)
@@katreacts6843 That he most certainly was!!
Movie so influential it spawned several good sequels, a couple of bad ones, a cartoon show for children, the Get Smart TV show whose writers said the main character was a what would happen if James Bond mated with Inspector Clouseau, as well as the inspector Drebin character of both the TV show Police Squad and its 3 Spinoff Movies.
This was the first of a whole string
of "Pink Panther" films with
Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau.
My favorites are "Return Of..."
& "...Strikes Again" in the '70s.
Other Sellers classics include
"The Mouse That Roared",
"Dr. Strangelove..."
& "Murder By Death"
(which also featured Niven in the cast).
1963 was a year for some strange films. Little did we know about the catastrophe that would strike before the end of the year.
Kat, I find myself re-watching some of your reaction videos, and often wonder how you are doing. Sorry about the volcano activity in Iceland just now, and without having more recent videos from you, I only hope that you will get past/through whatever is keeping you away very soon. I’ve missed your content. Take care.
this scenein the bedroom is a typical french farce, always fun
This absolutely was the original, it was a huge part of my childhood and I refuse to watch the remakes! Peter Sellars is a comedy god!
I used to try to build igloos, too, growing up. It was fun, but never successful. Having learned since a bit more about the skill of it, I do think I'd love to try again. Alas, I no longer live in snowbound regions.
Me neither, I live on the south coast of England, I haven't seen snow here since 2018! But I build snowmen, igloos and stuff when I go to Iceland during winter :)
She married the inspector to keep tabs on him about his investigation on the Phantom
01:27 and I'm out. "_What's this...eeww.."??? Really? What do they teach you at school? That's the Capitoline Wolf with Romulus and Remus the founders of Rome. How can someone reach that age and not EVER seen that image?
This a spoof of the famous fictional Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, "created by British writer Agatha Christie. Poirot is one of Christie's most famous and long-running characters, appearing in 33 novels, two plays, and more than 50 short stories published between 1920 and 1975." (from Wikipedia.)
The best-known story with him in it is Murder On The Orient Express.
There have been a number of movies over the years portraying him, often by English-speaking actors who do so with the most ridiculous attempts of a French/Belgian accent. (For those who want to see the opposite - which many consider the Gold Standard of these depictions, watch anything by David Suchet - these episodes are available for free on RUclips.)
No. The worst detective ever is the animated version of Inspector Gadget. :)
Wow, I had forgotten about him! :D
That was fun. Glad you watched this one. Thanks.
You're good this is the original
Oh, good! :D
Amazing classic The Pink Panther starring Peter Sellers, Claudia Cardinale, David Niven and Robert Wagner. Thank you so much Kat great reaction excellent😄😄😄😄
Advice: Sellers is the only Inspector Clouseau worth watching. 2 movies were made without him, one with Alan Arkin as Clouseau, and the other much later, with Steve Martin as Clouseau. Don't bother, they can't hold a candle to Peter Sellers, they are waste of time. Why they thought they could substitute someone else for the great Sellers is beyond me. Perhaps they were looking for a tax write off. To me the film was more about David Niven being the big star that he was, and lots of confusing intrigue. Rule: when you run out of ideas, throw in a car chase lol. This first Panther film was more about the story and the cast, but after this they discovered the Clouseau character played by Sellers was more "sellable" [pun intended] and focused more on Clouseau screwing up, which was the right decision. You will find A Shot in the Dark and Return of the Pink Panther probably the funniest of the films.
Stradivarious are incredibly valuable stringed instruments, reputed to have finer and more delicate tone than any others made. Those created by Antionio Stradivan in the 17 & 18th centuries are considered the best of the best, and are now extemely rare, and nearly priceless. So that was the joke, of the clumsy inspector crunching his violin.
Edit: The real joke is that sound quality tests as recent as 2014 have shown no difference between those instruments and others. It's a case of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' -- with reputation and hype causing them to be desirable, and anyone who could not tell any difference was assured that their hearing was simply not as finely attuned as those 'in the know.'
Hi girl, wow the most funny comedy series of all time. There are a few more movies with Peters Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. You really must follow them in order. You will be rolling on the floor lol!
32:32 Kat, sweetie. You don’t understand.
As this series goes on, you will slowly realize, Clouseau is not in danger…..
He IS the danger.
Now you have to see the third film in the series: "Return of the Pink Panther", from about 1975. IMHO, it's the funniest one of the series...
I will definitely be reacting to more of the Pink Panther series :D
1:22 The Capitoline Wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome.
Another 60s adaption I recommend is breakfast at Tiffany's my fav film with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard and an nearly unrecognizable Mickey Rooney
There's a minkey in ma rhoom...🙂
You read the events of this film in the oddest ways
Peter Sellers is the best Clousseau. Steve Martin seemed almost to forced./? Great movies and I love David Niven, what a wonderful actor he was.
Great movie... but you can't pause every 5 seconds !
BTW: Its a comedy with one of the best Peter Sellers
He owes money to a loan shark not the police
Do you have some medical condition that prevents you from laughing?
The animated Pink Panthers aren't related to Clouseau--Just to the titular panther from the opening credits, which were as or more popular than the rest of the first movie at the time: ruclips.net/video/41aGCrXM20E/видео.html
Please look up the Word : Farce ..... It will help you understand this kind of Movie!
James Alexander, thank-you for : "Please look up the Word : Farce ..... "
It is simply both astounding and quite discouraging in the 21st Century, as to how completely clueless "Kat Reacts" is to this classic style of movie comedy, as evidenced by her non-stop blithering & inane commentary that reveals her to be consistently missing the point and comedy styling of it all throughout the entirety of this iconic film.
@@meyerhave Thanks maybe she'll take our advice?
❤ 1 OF MY FAVOURITES IT IS THE 1ST 1
I actually saw the Return of the Pink Panther before this, but Peter Sellers is great. There's a scene I won't spoil from the Return of the Pink Panther that is fantastic involving Clouseau's assistant and it's insane. This is Peter Sellers' role, whatever you think about Steve Martin. He's usually better when there's chaos going on around him and he's just reacting to it and getting exasperated, not when he's creating the chaos. Bringing Down the House co-starring Queen Latifah and Eugene Levy is a good example. He's not the other the top one, he's trying to calm things down and eventually he just loses it. But Peter Sellers was great. Being Human was one of his last movies, but also one of his best. He plays a very naive, innocent man who is mistaken for a genius.
Steve Marten is a little bit more off not as great as this but still fun to watch
Way to many unneeded comments.
Well actually you are still not watching the quintessential movie in the franchise. In this, the original Pink Panther movie, the genre is a light drama with merely glimpses of comedy and Inspecter Clouseau (Peter Sellers) is only a supporting role. The movie itself, therefore, is largely forgettable (with the exception of Sellers) because of it. So to really get an idea of why people are so wild about this series you need to see the sequels where the producers realized that Inspecter Clouseau needs to be the main protagonist.
And I recommend you try this one more time with the spinoff "A Shot in the Dark". This in my opinion is one of the funniest movies ever made. I've seen it several times and I have never gotten through it without laughing out loud. Seriously, if you truly want to experience and understand the Pink Panther you need to see Peter Sellers unchained in all his zaniness. And "A Shot in the Dark" is the best movie in the franchise to see it.
And after that - one of the greatest comedies of all time - the Marx Brothers in "A Night at the Opera".
🥰🥰
I am shocked by your positive review. It’s a comedy and you never laughed once!
You should watch the 2006 film adaptation of “The Pink Panther” with Steve Martin. That one is so hilarious!
I'm a year late on this lol but no the Steve Martin pink panther movies are not even close to the Peter sellers pink panther movies
