Shot in the Dark, A

Shot in the Dark, A

1964

Sight gags and pratfalls abound in director Blake Edwards's unadulterated farce about a sexy parlor maid (Elke Sommer) accused of killing her lothario lover. Enter the bumbling Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers), who's intent on proving the young beauty's innocence even though the evidence indicates otherwise. Clouseau will go to any lengths -- including a stakeout at a nudist camp -- to unravel the case and nail the real murderer.

The screen commits the perfect comedy!
