[net.games.trivia] Pink Panther

We are having an office confrontation, I hope that someone in net world
will help us solve this case.  I say that Peter Sellers was NOT the
only actor to play Inspector Clouseau(sp?) in the Pink Panther movies.
I think that Alan Arkin played the inspector in an early film but I
don't know the name of the film.  If you agree with me, PLEASE tell us
the name of the picture.
You can reply in the net or mail to us at ihps3!ucsa.
Thank you!!

yes, alan arkin played inspector clouseau in the movie titled either
'clouseau' or 'inspector clouseau'.

Indeed Alan Arkin did play the good inspector, the film was called:

Inspector Clousuer (sp)

What was the movie (first a stage play) that FIRST featured the Inspector?

I was under the impression that A Shot In the Dark was the second
Pink Panther film, and followed "The Pink Panther", which co-starred
David Niven as a jewel thief who stole a diamond known as the
Pink Panther diamond, thus accounting for the series name.
