I have a special soft spot for this 1963 Peter Sellers movie, which was one of my dad’s favorite comedy films, and one which we watched together at many opportunities – which, in those old pre-VCR days, meant repeated trips to movie revival houses and South Florida drive-in theaters. But here it is, in prime time, uninterrupted, featuring some of the funniest sight gags since the grand era of silent movies. And featuring some very funny sound gags, too, led by Sellers’ hilariously thick accent as Inspector Clouseau. David Niven, Robert Wagner and Capucine co-star.
