The Pink Panther (1963)

The first in the Peter Sellers Pink Panther films, chronicling the farcical misadventures of the bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau.

Suave jewel thief Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven), aka the Phantom, is in hot pursuit of the Pink Panther - one of the world's most precious jewels now in the possession of Princess Dala (Claudia Cardinale). Clouseau is in hot pursuit of Sir Charles, who has successfully eluded him for the past 15 years. He also seeks the Phantom's female accomplice, little realising that she's actually his own wife, Simone (Capucine), who prefers sharing a bed with the dashing thief.
