The Curse of the Pink Panther is a 1983 comedy film and the eighth installment in the Pink Panther franchise. The film features a new character, NYPD Sergeant Clifton Sleigh (played by Ted Wass), who is assigned to search for the missing Inspector Clouseau.
However, the search proves to be more difficult than expected when it is revealed that Clouseau’s arch-nemesis, Chief Inspector Dreyfus (played by Herbert Lom), has manipulated the Surete’s computer to select the world’s worst detective for the job. Sleigh is initially reluctant to take on the mission, but is convinced to do so by Dreyfus’s assistant, Simone LeGree (played by Joanna Lumley).

Despite its flaws, however, the movie remains a popular entry in the Pink Panther franchise, and is still enjoyed by fans of comedic cinema today.
