レビュー (Amazon)
Out with the bad--in with the good ! The fifth entry in the Panther series has all the best elements: the most carefully choreographed fight with Cato, Herbert Lom hamming up Dreyfuss, and a brilliant comic soundscape from Mancini. The opening credits is a montage of "The Pink Panther Theme", the "Alfred Hitchcock Theme", Batman, The Sound Of Music, "Singin' In The Rain" and "Big Spender". Could such an intro. possibly be topped? There's the exquisite "Inspector Clouseau Theme" on mandolin, keyboard, and glockenspiel. Its lackadaisical tempo paces the detective's thought processes perfectly. It's best use is an hilarious sequence of Clouseau attempting entry into a castle across the surrounding moat. The music's suggested dimwittedness is pure genius. Most delightful of all is "The Evil Theme": a chime reverberates beneath lightly treading guitar; the classic exaggerated cartoon steps of the Inspector's creeping around. By flute, percussion, and the most innovative use of de-tuned pizzicato violin it becomes as important an invention as either the "Panther" or "Clouseau" themes (or the absent "A Shot In The Dark" theme). --Paul Tonks
