A Shot in the Dark (1964 film)
A Shot in the Dark is a 1964 British-American DeLuxe Color comedy film directed by Blake Edwards in Panavision.
It is the second installment in "The Pink Panther" film series, with Peter Sellers reprising his role as Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the French Sûreté.
Clouseau's blundering personality is unchanged, but it was in this film that Sellers began to give him the idiosyncratically exaggerated French accent that was to later become a hallmark of the character.
The film also marks the first appearances of Herbert Lom as his long-suffering boss, Commissioner Dreyfus, as well as Burt Kwouk as his stalwart man servant Cato and André Maranne as François, all three of whom would become series regulars.
Elke Sommer portrays the murder suspect, Maria Gambrelli.
The character of Gambrelli would return in "Son of the Pink Panther" (1993), this time played by Claudia Cardinale, who appeared as Princess Dala in "The Pink Panther" (1963).
Graham Stark, who portrays police officer Hercule Lajoy, would reprise this role eighteen years later, in "Trail of the Pink Panther" (1982).
The film was not originally written to include Clouseau, but was an adaptation of a stage play by Harry Kurnitz adapted from a French play "L'Idiote" by Marcel Achard.
The film was released only a few months after the first Clouseau film, "The Pink Panther".
