The title role gives dazzling Robert Lindsay a screen-debuting showcase. His coal miner/wannabe movie star Bert Rigby is all-singing, all-dancing, all-laughing as he delivers dead-on impersonations of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Plus delivers pizza, trims trees and copes uproariously with other "between-acting" jobs that plague Tinseltown hopefuls. The Reiner/Lindsay teamwork is a light footed lark that you'd be a fool to miss.

When the priceless Pink Panther diamond is stolen yet again, the inimitable Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) is saved from an unwilling early retirement and sent to the country of Lugash to investigate and return the jewel to its proper owner. Certain that the heist is the work of a suave jewel thief, Clouseau unleashes his formidable array of outlandish disguises -- and preposterous deductive powers -- in madcap pursuit of the wily criminal.

The hilarious, accidentally brilliant Inspector Clouseau once again takes on his archenemy, the insane Dreyfus, as he plots to control the world.
