    THE PINK PANTHER

    I awoke in a fog.

    Then I discovered that HBO is free for a day.

    And here is Revenge of the Pink Panther.

    THE REAL PINK PANTHER.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Pink_Panther

    No this has nothing to do with abominations starring Steve Martin.

    I swear, that I was almost kicked out of a movie theatre watching previous movies in this mode.

    That was because I could not stop laughing at Peter Sellers.

    I was watching HOUSE and during its last gasp, Dr. House gets out of his insane asylum finding himself back at his hospital and his only aide is Asian/American.

    And Dr. House calls her Cato. hahahahahh

    If you never saw Pink Panther movies from the 70's, you would never understand why that line is so hilarious.

    Revenge is not the funniest of the series (forget the first, it was terrible) but compared to anything else, Revenge of the Pink Panther is funnier than anything else you can imagine.

    I would love to ask Louie or Patton about their thoughts regarding this masterpiece.

    There is Herbert Lom.

    Lom of course 'made it' because he looked like a real actor.

    (I had to add this, Lom looked just like Charles Boyer. hahahah and Lom was from Czechoslovakia which is now the Czech Republic) 

    And there is of course Cary Grant's last wife who actually delivered his only progeny.

    Sellers was a master of his craft, so to speak.

    You know, I have monsters in my mind or id or whatever.

    I watch these stupid cable shows and whenever I see Chumley on the History Channel I opine that a base ball bat should be used....

    But Chief Inspector Clouseau has got to be the dumbest character I have ever witnessed and I never wished for a baseball bat. hahahahah

    If I had my way in this wicked world I would introduce my eldest granddaughter to the Pink Panther series (sans the first of course).

    A BUMB

     

     

    Thank Heavens for little girls.

    He goes undercover as the midget 19th century artist as well as a number of other characters.

    Sellers died a couple of years later of an aching heart, (following Being There, the best film of his career) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_There

    I dunno.

    You can go back forty years and more and find the funniest films ever aired.

    I discovered this by accident when HBO is free for the next three days.

    hahahahah

    There is no reason for films like this to end up on pay for view.

    A BUMB!

    A nice find at 4 AM. hahahah

    When you are down and out, check out old Pink Panther films.

    These expositions lift me up out of depression.

    No kidding.

    Thanks for this.   I think the problem with the first one was that Clouseau was not the focus, he was just a supporting character.  Thank God, Blake Edwards realized the comedy gold was in Peter Sellers' character.   Side note: The man I have worked for since 1987, is a real estate developer turned standup comedian.   One of the side projects we're currently working on is an idea for a reality show.  I told him when we started that if he did this, I didn't want to end up being the Chumlee character ... A few weeks ago we hired a videographer to do some taping for us.  He is a slight, mild-mannered Japanese man and my employer, as a joke, started calling him Yakuza, which is the Japanese mafia.  It was so ludicrous that naturally the name stuck and now everyone is calling him Yakuza. 


    Delightful!

    Somebody read this and Somebody is Mr. Smith. hahahah

    Henry Mancini and Blake Edwards really worked together to make these masterpieces.

    You know, I figured you would grasp my thoughts here.

    Thank you.


    Oh I had to tell you Mr. Smith.

    This was fun, this is your blog site as far as I am concerned. And I always like adding my thoughts here.

    hahhahaha

    No matter how silly.

    But you know Mr. Smith, we really do not get attacked anywhere on Dagblog, even though there were some tete-a-tetes even today.

    Cafe was harder.

    Thank you.
