When rich Mr. Benjamin Ballon’s Spanish driver is found shot dead, Inspector Jacques Clouseau is the first official on the scene. All evidence suggests Maria Gambrelli, the maid, to be the murderer. But Clouseau, being attracted to the beautiful girl, is convinced that she is hiding something. So, he has her released from jail and secretly tries to follow her. Things do not work out the way the inspector wants and people keep ending up murdered, and every time, innocent Maria seems to be the killer. But with someone important wanting Clouseau and nobody else to cover this case, his tolerance-challenged boss Charles Dreyfus is close to losing his mind when casualties keep turning up. And Clouseau keeps on causing trouble without knowing it…

Peter Sellers is one of my favorite funnymen. Here he plays the bumbling Inspector Clouseau who tries to prove the innocence of the beautiful Maria (Elke Sommer). Sellers is just amazing in this and the future Clouseau movies. He also kills it in "Dr. Strangelove" as three different characters (Captain Lionel Mandrake/President Merkin Muffley/Dr. Strangelove). I don't want to sound prudish but this is a textbook example of how to be funny without being vulgar and crude (today's "comedies") or dull and vanilla (TV sitcoms).

This movie is sooo much better than the first one in the franchise. They put stupid drama/romance at the side and made a pretty good comedy. Plot is all over the place, there are still questions without answers, but who really cares :D I miss this type of comedy movies...great fun. 7/10

A lot more Clouseau in this one. Also, Herbert Lom is playing great.
