Watch The Pink Panther For Free

Absolutely the worst movie.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Is there anyone out there who hasn't seen The Pink Panther? If you shyly raised your hand, get out there and pick up a copy this weekend and bring your Kleenexes. Not for crying, of course, but for wiping tears of laughter from your eyes.This is the first of nine installments, not including the Leslie Nielson remakes, and all but the final three star Peter Sellers as the bumbling French detective Inspector Clouseau. With an endless supply of slapstick jokes, expected but still hilarious gags, and 60s sex references, the Pink Panther movies are unforgettable and a staple in everyone's childhood. David Niven, Capucine, Claudia Cardinale, and Robert Wagner round out the cast in the first movie, so if you want to see Herbert Lom and Burt Wouk as the stock characters you remember from the rest of the series, you'll have to wait for the sequel A Shot in the Dark. Just so you know, David Niven is the real lead in this first movie, playing a suave, dashing, charming ladies' man-in other words, playing who he plays best. Peter Sellers had a much smaller part, but he was such a hit with audiences that the rest of the series increased his part and made him the lead! So, while this first movie might not be the one with the most jokes, it's still very funny and cute.

THE PINK PANTHER is a crime comedy, which is very entertaining, despite an average story and unconvincing plots.As a child in Lugash, Princess Dala receives a gift from her father, the Maharajah: the "Pink Panther," the largest diamond in the world. This huge pink gem has an unusual flaw: looking deeply into the stone, one perceives a tiny discoloration resembling a leaping panther. 20 years later, Dala lives in exile in the circles of high society. A precious diamond is still in her ownership. She goes on holiday at an exclusive ski resort in Cortina d'Ampezzo. A charming and distrustful English playboy tries to get close to the princess. There is also his nephew. Both men lead secret lives. Soon, French police detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau with his unfaithful wife comes to a snowy trail. That „Pink Panther" has a strange power ...This film promises great entertainment at its beginning, but later, almost everything becomes part of a forced humor. Some scenes are really funny, but that humor is mostly annoying. Some sequences are too predictable. The methods of individual protagonists are absurd. However, this should be a hilarious attack of an inadequate humor. Even the scenery could be better.Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau is a tragically clumsy. He is aware of his inability at times, but still trying to be cunning and diligent detective. He is infatuated with a mysterious jewel thief, though, his weakest point is his wife. Mr. Sellers was offered a good performance.David Niven as Sir Charles Lytton is a mysterious thief and romantic clumsy at the same time. It seems that Mr. Niven is a bit tired for this role. Capucine (Simone Clouseau) and Claudia Cardinale (Princess Dala) are beautiful, but they are not focused enough. Their roles have become meaningless in the end. Yet, Mr. and Mrs. Clouseau have a few good sequences together. Robert Wagner (George Lytton) as a hot blood that will agitate passions is a redundant character.This is an arrogant farce, which is very watchable, despite so many obvious flaws.

Before John Hughes became the Master of Absurd Physical comedy, there was Blake Edwards. Although bumbling Inspector Clouseau was introduced in this movie, make no mistake that David Niven, Robert Wagner, Capucine and Claudia Cardinale play major roles and greatly add to the romantic glitz and glamour portrayed in this lavishly produced film. Filmed on location mainly in Italy, but also in Paris and Hollywood. Beautiful cinematography and sparkling music from Henry Mancini. The nightclub "song" adds to the excitement and does not detract as such "numbers" usually do. Simone and The Princess dress up in elegant and sporty clothing. The formal parties are a knockout. Except for early James Bond, nobody dresses that way anymore! Two celebrated international thieves have the time of their lives seducing women, stealing paintings and the fabulous "Pink Panther" Diamond. Not as much slapstick here as later entries, that almost fail as they become too much about just The Inspector, so it may be a bit slow for younger viewers. It has been compared with Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief". Follow this up with a viewing of "A Shot in the Dark" for a brilliant rainy afternoon double-feature. Great Pink Panther animated titles, too!

I'd never watched a 'Pink Panther' movie before (at least not all the way through), but I thought I had a pretty good idea what they were like. I was wrong. At least about the first one.This really feels like two different films smooshed together. On the one hand you have the film starring David Niven as debonair thief/con man in a (much) more lighthearted version of something like 'To Catch a Thief', and on the other you have the one with Peter Sellers as a clumsy and oblivious detective in a smart, but much broader, comedy. And though Sellers may steal the movie, he's not the star. That would be the aforementioned Niven (though really it's more of an ensemble with Niven front and center). Sellers probably gets about 1/2 of Niven's screen time, and is all but absent in the second act. Certainly not the popular image one has of these films where Clouseau bumbles his way from one scene to the next in his trademark hat and trench coat.There are also significant pacing issues, and it takes far too long to set everything up, but when it's working The Pink Panther is an amusing and well acted heist comedy with little hints of the swinging sixties that were about to come.
