Capucine

Walk on the Wild Side -- Sup with the devil and you'll taste your just desserts...

A saga about growing up, relationships and romantic love, The Lion is set in Africa with all the added visual benefits of the African landscape and animals. Divorced New York lawyer Robert Hayward (William Holden) finds himself unexpectedly in Kenya because his ex-wife Christine (Capucine) is having some problems with their eleven-year-old daughter, Tina (Pamela Franklin). Christine has remarried and her new husband, John Bullit, a former big-game hunter, now manages a large Kenyan animal preserve. After Robert arrives, he is surprised to find that his daughter has an almost obsessive relationship with a lion. But what's even more worrisome is that he realizes he still loves his ex-wife; and her new husband is not blind to the dynamics of this sudden romantic triangle.

Dirk Bogarde plays legendary composer/pianist Franz Liszt in this sweeping biography in which he is torn between his two passions--composing music and playing it. The women in his life are Capucine as Princess Carolyne (whom he adores but who proves to be unattainable) and Genevieve Page as Countess Marie.

Interpol's Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) couldn't be happier-- his nemesis, bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau, seems to have vanished. Dreyfus has a brilliant idea...he will program Interpol's computer (named Aldous) to select the world's worst detective (other than Clouseau, of course) to aid in the search. The computer comes up with a klutzy New York City police detective named Clifton Sleigh (Ted Wass), who soon lives up to his reputation for incompetence. With Sleigh on the case (wearing Harold Lloyd-type glasses), Dreyfus begins to hope that Clouseau will remain lost forever! Meanwhile, the fabulous Pink Panther diamond has been stolen again...and Dreyfus realizes that Sleigh is just as ghastly to have around as the missing Inspector Clouseau!...
