Peter Sellers’ first two turns as Inspector Clouseau are presented tonight, as MGM pairs A Shot in the Dark and The Pink Panther – and televises them in the correct order of their production, rather than the order of their cinematic release. A Shot in the Dark, co-starring Elke Sommer, was filmed first, but shelved by the studio until director Blake Edwards and star Sellers reteamed for Pink Panther, which became a big hit in 1963. A Shot in the Dark, though filmed first, followed in 1964 – but this is the proper way to watch Inspector Clouseau drive poor Herbert Lom’s Inspector Dreyfus to twitching, foaming madness.
