Inspector Clouseau the telephone engineer

From the 1975 'The Return of the Pink Panther'

[@vozpit]

I used to work at a video rental place & one day I put this film on. At this point, I was laughing so hard, tears were running down my face. My boss looked at me like I was nuts. He said, "This is funny to you?" I said, "No, it's not funny, it's absolutely hilarious!"

Yes, a few have that quality.. Tommy Cooper could step out on stage at the Palladium and do absolutely nothing and make those faces and body movements and bring the house down in laughter before he said one word.

Yes you can tell she's got him figured out in seconds:)

[@elta6241]

I love how they just had to accept she was going to crack up and left it in.

[@glitterdrip19]

i remember the outtakes of this movie and the woman couldn't stop laughing, it looks like they left a little bit of it in! I'm laughing and crying at the same time

[@Stefan-]

She laughs since the character she is playing recognizes that it is Clouseau.

[@coondogtheman]

You missed the best part where he says do not come in I'm putting my tools away. and when he glues himself to the desk.

[@Markus_Andrew]

I get the feeling that not all of Catherine Schell's laughing in this scene was acting. Maybe none of it was. Sellers was notorious for constantly making the rest of the cast crack up during filming.

[@ucdbnxt7318]

If you watch the outtakes, that was the best they got of her in that scene. Wonder how many takes it took??? She's as bad as Julia Louis-Dreyfus... (Elaine-Seinfeld) 🤣🤣🤣

[@victoriapruitt1209]

She couldn't help herself usually those are bloopers they don't use, but in this movie they just kept the bloopers as the actual scene because it was the one she laughed the least in.

[@timdowney6721]

There’s outtakes of Dyan Cannon in “Revenge Of The Pink Panther” struggling to stay serious.

[@sitarnut]

@@victoriapruitt1209 When he tries to act so casual in the club scene later on and half of his fake mustache had fallen off.... think it took many takes to film it, but she's still about to lose it in what did go to print.

Strike me down if you want, but could they remake the Pink Panther films with a new actor, I wonder if there is anyone out there who could fill Peter Sellers shoes? It'll happen one day, not sure who has the talent to do it.

[@PointReflex]

+Jogo Lock The problem is that the original Pink Panther movies dont need a remake, Robocop didnt needed a remake nor Total Recall nor Star Trek and we know how that ended up going. Even the Pink Panther movies with Steve Martin were pieces of shit, so instead of trying to remake a superb saga from the 60's/70's why they dont do a spiritual sucessor of this movies?. Police Squad/The Naked Gun are an example, a police detective from North America being almost as stupid as Cluseau but with his own charm. Police Academy was another example, this time from man and women in their training periods. Instead of remaking any of those, lets get new content, fresh and for the fucks sake, with real humor instead of the bullshit that could be found in the 99% of the movies being produced today.

[@crazy808ish]

[@kevinfinnegan310]
