This is the most hilarious scene I've ever seen in a movie. Peter Sellers was a genius. I am a retired police officer and I laugh when the Inspector asks him "how can an idiot be a policeman" he replies that he only has to enlist.
By the way...French police are very polite and will salute you if you approach them...they are very professional and are a total joy to interact with. I love the French....they are a great nation who hold dear common human values. I have been helped so often by French people...in their DNA it is written to help others in the great cause that is the furtherment of humanity.
I'm am genuinely curious about how Sellers' faux French accented English can be translated into actual French whilst maintaining the essence of the comedy? What's the French for "minkey"?
My favorite scene between Dreyfus and Clouseau when Clouseau is in Disguise as a dentist and they both start sniffing the laughing gas and they can't quit laughing and Clouseau pulled the wrong tooth
That scene is hilarious I'm thinking about that one right now and laughing my ass off. People want to get a good ab workout, try sitting through the Pink Panther series. Your stomach and sides will feel like you did a couple of hundred crunches.
One of my favorite comedies. I love how the commissioner's nervous tick is almost non-existent early in the movie, yet by the end of the movie he can barely keep that eye open.
The dentist scene with the melting nose in TPPSA: I laugh as hard at it today as I did when I saw it in the theater. "There's only one man who would pull the wrong tooth."
sheer comic brilliance on so many levels...not just Sellers but many of the cast..I can't remember how many times I have seen these scenes and just crack up every single time....Herbert Lom (Dreyfus) is so under-rated as a comic...but he was just superb in this role..his timing immaculate and fluid...watching his madness grow over the series of Panther movies was such a delight..I looked forward to every appearance...nothing compares these days
I agree. However, those of us also, who have watched these gems over the years, realize that it's not only the genius of Peter Seller, but the ensemble cast , who support him.
Another great film 🎥 🎞 with Herbert Lom was: "Doppelganger".... Doppelgänger is a 1969 British science fiction film written by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and Donald James, produced by the Andersons, and directed by Robert Parrish. Filmed by the Andersons' production company Century 21, it stars Roy Thinnes, Ian Hendry, Lynn Loring, Loni von Friedl and Patrick Wymark, ***Herbert Lom.*** Outside Europe, it was released as Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, the title by which it is now more commonly known.
I saw a film of his it was on London Live channel with one of the Cusack girl, low budget , about them living together , but not just comedy , sellers was great actor in serious roles , another film are that late 60s, early 70s, girl in my soup.
The Pink Panther series was one of the best comedy productions in cinematic history. Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom, were perfect for their respective roles.
Does everyone remember the 1st time they saw this scene? I was 13 or 14 sitting in the living room with my dad. Both of our eyes were tearing up with laugher. Never forget it! Leave your memory!
The sad thing was that Sellers didn't think this was great work, probably because Hollywood critics want maudlin displays of intense pathos. Sellers tried that too, but The Return, Revenge, and Pink Panther Strikes Again were hands down his greatest work. Pure comedic genius by both Sellers and Lom. And the writing was fantastic.
I think it was Revenge in which Clouseau breaks an expensive piano in someone's home. Then the owner says something about its value, and Clouseau confidently replies "Nut any mow". Funny stuff.
If you are having a Bad day there is nothing like the Pink Panther to cheer you up..... Absolutely hilarious. Peter was a genius in every sense of the word and is sorely missed from our screens. R I P PETER.
monsta64 you are absolutely correct sir. If you have seen the whole movie, then you would understand that this is the beginning of chief inspector Dreyfus starting to go insane.
super scene but what edwards done is genius he has sellars the blind man and minkee close up and also the bank being robbed.. the chimp bangs the window.. then the robbers pointing the guns but clouseau is sworn as a policeman to uphold the by stander laws ... great stuff...
That's IT! It probably happens all the time. As ever, Clouseau states a complex truth with childlike simplicity. What a genius he is! And that's why he was personally requested by the Shah of Lugash! 😅
😄 (lol) “ I remember watching the Pink Panther movies growing up as a kid. They had so many hilarious scenes, including bumbling Clouseau’s (Asian) houseman ‘ Cato ’ often jumping him with surprise attacks. ”
That's good, but the one that always put me on the floor was, "I thought you said your dog does not bite." "That's not my dog!" Is #2 okay? "I fixed your doorbell from ring-ging. No charge!"
Dreyfuss: Idiot. My blood pressure. Idiot. One day, Francois. One day I'll be rid of him forever. That'll be the day.- Something on your mind? Francois; - An order from the commissioner. Dreyfuss: - Aw, yes? Francois- It concerns Clouseau. Dreyfuss: - Yes, go on. Francois: - He's to be reinstated as an inspector. Dreyfuss: What? You can't be serious. Francois: And he's to report immediately to Colonel... Sharki in Lugash. Dreyfuss: I see. Francois:- Sir. Dreyfuss:- What? It's a birthday gift from my wife. Francois: Most realistic. Dreyfuss: Get me the commissioner. Francois: Chief Inspector Dreyfus calling. Hmm. The commissioner. Dreyfuss: Commissioner, I've just received your instructions...to send, uh, Clouseau to Lugash. But, you see, he's no longer with the Sureté. I've just given him- Yes, but-Yes, but since France and Lugash have been allies for nearly 200 years, it might be a serious mistake to send someone who is- I see. Yes, of course. Very good, Commissioner. It seems the Shah of Lugash phoned the president personally, and asked for Clouseau to be assigned to the case. The Shah of Lugash. Francois:- Incredible. Dreyfuss; - All right, Francois. The Shah of Lugash.
The genius of Lom here on display: you can see the buildup of the “hysterical laughter”, the madness crumbling in, like a slow avalanche - later on on full display. Thereby the minutious buildup of the character, it’s circumstances and developement.A master genius of comedian act in the planning, while Sellers was the improvising momentum, the improvising genius. No matter what success this series had, it’s hugely underrated. This should be pensum in acting classes, this is absolute gold. And totally, absolutely hilarious so tears run down your cheeks. Thank you all 3!
And Lom's acting genius comes to a head during his forced eulogy speech for Clouseau (written by the police chief's wife) in Revenge of the Pink Panther. That scene is the icing on the cake.
I bumped into Herbert Lom in London in 2011, about a year before he passed on. We were in a queue waiting for a taxi. I thanked him for his work and how much joy these films gave me and my family. He thanked me in turn and said he had lots of fun making them.
Actually mistakes like that have actually happened, a toy gun that resembles the real gun and they get mixed up and somebody gets shot. Just like many Police Officers pull a Tazer and end up shooting someone with an actual gun.
@@carminemurray6624 I presume are referring to the incident involving an overly excited poorly trained yet ridiculously zealous female police officer who shot a man when she was supposed to be tazing him? It's one thing to have a near perfect replica of a side arm as a lighter, its another thing to confuse the position and shape of a tazer with that of your side arm, especially when they are often kept apart from one another. I have to wonder what Dreyfus's wife had in mind though. i don't think we ever see her ever.
One of the funniest film franchises ever. Sellers was so funny in all the Pink panthers films. Especially when sellers and kato would attack each other and destroy furniture.
A masterclass in comedy. Not a single second or line in this scene is wasted, it's all balanced to perfection. I'm even laughing at the blind man moaning about how he found a random monkey in his living room and now he lives with him. It's all genius
Well, may I say that I wish they had shown the bank robbery more prominently - it is so much in the background that it escapes attention almost (escaped mine the first time, I have to admit. Knew something was going on there behind but wasn't clear until Dreyfuss confronts him). Wouldn't have hurt to have the camera on the happenings in the bank more. But then I'm not a very sharp viewer...
While we're passing along deserved praise to Sellers and Herbert Lom, let's not forget the man behind the camera, the brilliant, late Blake Edwards. Edwards could be modest about his talents as a comedy director, but sometimes the lack of intrusion and letting talent express itself as he did with Sellers is all that is needed. Edwards once told me he thought his great talent was pointing the camera toward Sellers in a wide shot and saying "Action." Then calling cut when either Sellers was through or everyone was laughing too loud and spoiling the shot.
Blake Edwards hired a fake fortune teller to tell Sellers that someone with the initials "B.E." would have a prominent place in his life. Sellers laid eyes on Brit Ekland and married her soon after because of the initials. I guess that backfired on Edwards !
Cried and cried nearly died of laughter couldn't breathe and stop laughing appreciate the memories and a good laugh as always excellent outstanding brilliant true comedy at its very best to Hebert lom and Peter sellers and the other actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong keep the laughs coming old is solid pure gold much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be proud after all these years later appreciate you guys thanks !!! Joe
I watched this last night and have seen this movie 20 plus times so I knew what was going to happen when Dreyfuss got the second cigarette and the camera panned to the hallway. You hear the shot the guy opens the door and there he sits with gun residue on his face. I totally lost it and laughed hysterically for 2 minutes. I can't remember the last time this happened been many years and I felt so much better. Sellers and Herbert Lom made people laugh. The best medicine. God bless.
“The Return of the Pink Panther” - one of the great comedy classics! And a wonderful comeback, ten years later, for Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. Fabulous supporting cast, as well, including Christopher Plummer and Herbert Lom.
I've never cared for Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd humor. Peter Sellars and Herbert Lom were comic geniuses. And I'm one of those who couldnt crack a smile with a parade of stand up comedians. Sellars and Loms wordplay and repartee were witticism perfected.
That was the fastest laugh I've ever experienced in a film. Within the first 2 seconds in politely greeting the girl he hits his face with his truncheon.
Herbert Lome was excellent in this!😂😂😂😂😂..i love the way hes angry and plotting against Clusoue,!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Totally class
I think Herbert Lom should be awarded a best actor Oscar posthumously. He was Brilliant!
Herbert lived to the age of 95.
b 1917
d 2012
They ALL were
Better than Sellers , Lom
Yes, he steals the scene from Sellers every time!

You said Minky?!
Clouseau would have driven the sanest man insane.
An English actor, playing a French policeman speaking English with a characature French accent in Paris. Pure gold.
To another Frenchman.
And what could have gone wrong? 🙂
Peter Sellers was a very funny man. ❤❤❤

It's the same in the UK, now

When I lived in France I was surprised to see this film being shown so often on French TV ... they love it!...It is a real favourite!
By the way...French police are very polite and will salute you if you approach them...they are very professional and are a total joy to interact with. I love the French....they are a great nation who hold dear common human values. I have been helped so often by French people...in their DNA it is written to help others in the great cause that is the furtherment of humanity.
And the Germans love Allo Allo!

At least, that was the line the BBC attempted to push - for a very short time.
@@macdaddybender Undderrated comment, will repost.
Breaking the luau????🤣 His pronunciation was too HYSTERICAL! My favorite in the " Pink Panther" series. Herbert Lom's twitching
Funny, too, because they are supposed to be speaking French. But no one can understand Sellers French accent! Bizzare nonsense, totally funny!

@@rickerhart907 loved it!!
Funny, because Dreyfus deduces ‘There is only one man who would pull the wrong tooth!’ So, Clouseau’s cover is blown.
"...you are suspended for 6 months without pay. Do you have anything to say?" "Can you loan me 50 francs?" ----Priceless.
“I’d rather have a warning”
Too funny
He even looks like he is calculating his bills.
Whats he gonna do with 50 hot dogs?
50 French Francs did not last long even then.

Absolutely hilarious !!!!!!!!🤣🙏

Funniest movie, also The mad adventures of Rabbi Jacob another very funny film.
My Colt Mustang .380 acp pistoletta was similar to the Chief Inspectors lighter.

One of my favorite comedies. I love how the commissioner's nervous tick is almost non-existent early in the movie, yet by the end of the movie he can barely keep that eye open.
Herbert Lom, was absolutely brilliant as the foil to Peter Sellers .
Lived to be 100 !
Strong armed robbery goes on ....as he was engaged ...hassling the lookout man...clobbers the bank manager.

I think Lom and Sellers in Ladykillers is a really underrated movie they did together.

Herbert Lon wasn't in the first Pink Panther film. He began in A Shot In The Dark. With that said, that film would probably be funnier if he was.

And he had the great pleasure of going home to Julie Andrews!
Blake Edwards was being modest. I personally think that at least in the Pink Panther films his camera angles were extremely clever.

Beggar or minkey was breaking the leuw 😂😂😂😂😂. Asking his boss to lend him 50 francs hahahahaha
This and 'A Shot in the Dark' are classics. Solid laughs from start to finish.
The best film in the whole series. Catherine Schell is an attractive woman with a sense of humor. And the plot is superb. ✌
There was a scene where Carherine giggles. I read that it was going to be re-shot, but they left it the way it was. I myself wouldn’t have left it in.
I want the Chief Inspectors despairing giggles for my ringtone.
“The Return of the Pink Panther” - one of the great comedy classics! And a wonderful comeback, ten years later, for Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. Fabulous supporting cast, as well, including Christopher Plummer and Herbert Lom.
The original and the best. Forget that Steve Martin crap.
Never see this!!
Careful Steve will pull out his banjo..
Sellers was a genius
I've never cared for Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd humor. Peter Sellars and Herbert Lom were comic geniuses. And I'm one of those who couldnt crack a smile with a parade of stand up comedians. Sellars and Loms wordplay and repartee were witticism perfected.
Herbert Lom's was just as great a turn as Sellers' in these scenes. The two together were just magic.
Such great memories watching these very funny films with my Dad☺
Peter Sellers would not have been half as funny without Herbert Lom playing the best straight man act in the world.
And many times, Lom steals the scene from Sellers.
the line that always has me is 'Can you lend me 50 Francs?' Genius
The inspector's mad giggles are the icing on the cake.
I've watched the scene countless times and I always crack up hysterically
The gradual decline of Dreyfuss into insanity 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chief inspector Charles Dreyfus was a vesy sane,mentally healthy and logical man.Then he met Clouseau..
kkk

Lol
every day in every way i getting better and better
That was the fastest laugh I've ever experienced in a film. Within the first 2 seconds in politely greeting the girl he hits his face with his truncheon.
Nobody will ever portray Inspector clouseau like Sellers. A master!
It's sad, you don't see this type of humour anymore.
'You are suspended for 6 months, effective immediately! Have you anything to say?' ' Could you lend me 50 Francs?' - :-D Brilliant
And later on: “Don’t just stand there. Come and help me find my nose!” 😂
Dose.
