The Pink Panther
When the coach of the France football team is killed by a poisoned dart in the stadium at the end of a game, and his huge, expensive ring with the Pink Panther diamond disappears, the ambitious Chief Inspector Dreyfus assigns the worst police inspector – Jacques Clouseau – to the case.

Clouseau exposes trainer Yuri as the murderer and diamond thief
Clouseau's mispronunciation leads to his arrest at airport
The film's biggest shift occurs from the hamburger pronunciation low point to the successful Presidential Ball climax, rising 3.0 points as viewers appreciated the payoff.
The Pink Panther starts tentatively with mixed reactions to Martin's interpretation of Clouseau, struggles through predictable early gags and the overplayed pronunciation humor, but builds momentum in the second half. The climax successfully brings together the investigation and physical comedy, though overall reception remained divided between nostalgia for Sellers and appreciation for Martin's own approach.
