Plot Summary:

The famous French detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, investigates the murder of a cuff at a country ill fame. The P of the house till the end of time seems to know more than he should, and although the evidence continually suggests that the maid Maria committed the crime, Clouseau always does the opposite expected of him, much to the disgruntlement of his higher, Dreyfus.

Divulge what you up Blake Edwards, but he could pick a winner. Having used Clouseau as a supporting proper in The Pink Panther (1963), Edwards shoved the bungling detective centre stage this sequel (released at most months after the initial of the first film), and never looked promote.
Here Clouseau is sent to investigate a murder at the mansion of a profoundly-connected millionaire (Sanders). It seems an unscheduled and quieten in the event that. After all, chambermaid Maria Gambrelli (...
