NOTES:
a. This is the first franchise revival for the Pink Panther series. It first came to an abrupt halt in 1968, following the failure of INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU (which had Alan Arkin in the title role) but was rescued by ITC studio chief Sir Lew Grade, who was a big fan of the first two installments of the series. Blake Edwards made this and THE TAMARIND SEED for him because Mr. Grade had wanted to make a TV special showcasing the talents of Julie Andrews, who was Blake Edwards' spouse at the time.
b. For the longest time, MGM did not own any rights to this installment of the franchise. A condition of ITC's financing agreement for this picture was that ITC would gain the worldwide rights to it after it left theatres. In 2015, the North American rights to this film were reclaimed by MGM. However, international rights are still in the possession of ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
c. This video is not available on mobile devices. It is tracked on others by Artisan's successor company, Lionsgate.
