The Pink Panther is a 1963 British comedy film.
Both the Movie and the Soundtrack are Classic!
Peter Sellers was the perfect person to play the clumsy French detective Jacques Clouseau. His job is to prevent a notorious thief from stealing a world famous jewel known as "The Pink Panther" which belongs to a princess.

I like the original music from the original Pink Panther movie. Henry Mancini won an award for it and he said he can't believe he received an award for making up such fun music.
They remade the Pink Panther movie in 2006 ("The Pink Panther 2") and it starred Beyoncé and Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau. Beyoncé also contributed to the soundtrack. I didn't care too much for the remake or the music from the remake. Even though I enjoy the comedic genius of Steve Martin, he could not top Peter Sellers. I'm sure even Mr. Martin would agree with me.
Nope! My mind was not changed, The original movie released in the 1960s and the soundtrack to the movie are both vintage classic memorable entertainment!
I would not recommend the 2006 remake; however I would recommend: "The Return of the Pink Panther" (1975); "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" (1976); or any of the many other sequels to the original Pink Panther movie which starred Peter Sellers. I would also recommend the hilarious animated TV series "The Pink Panther Show" (1969).
