The Pink Panther

For the first time as an adult we revisited this, the first appearance of Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau from the early 1960s. Very long, highly-choreographed shticky sequences, most of which have to do with 4 different guys trying to get with the same lady. I guess this kind of farce goes all the way back to Shakespeare and Greek theater, but it feels kinda dated and rapey now. The one-named actress who does the heavy lifting here is Capucine, who seems to have been historically under-appreciated. It’s still impeccably timed, but the women aren’t given a lot of agency in these sexy, sexy matters.
