The Return of the Pink Panther

Peter Sellers, Christopher Plummer. Blake Edwards, dir. 1975

To be honest, I didn't think the kids would like this movie as much as they did - it being the 21st Century and them having been raised on a blathering of unstoppable 1 second images, but as it turns out they really were intrigued by the movie.

What was truly surprising to me is that I, myself, found it fairly slow. It wasn't really as funny as it was when I saw it originally in '75. Probably because I don't like "physical" humour any more. Bungling just isn't funny.

Oh well, all in all - had a few good lines, but overall I found it somewhat in poor taste. Maybe I'm just getting staid.
