A Shot in the Dark (1964)
One of the funniest movies I have ever seen for that time period..circa early 60's.
I just have a short review of this great film. The memory of seeing this movie in a Miami theater in 1964 is one of my fondest memories. I saw it with my father and we both laughed so hard that (to coin a very old phrase) our insides hurt. Peter Sellers has provided me with so much enjoyment through the years with his series of "Pink Panther" films, although, I thought that this one was the best of the entire series. The rest of the cast was equally as good in their supportive roles especially Herbert Lom. Elke Sommer, George Sanders and Burt Kwouk were also great. The laughs came continuously and the physical humor of Sellers is untouched by todays standards. There have been so many copy cats, Steve Martin included that have failed to capture the spontaneity and sense of comedy that only Peter Sellers had. This film to me, goes down as the best of the best of comedies.
