The film was the last to feature Clouseau until 1975's The Return of the Pink Panther. Costume design and elements of Arkin's performance were retained when Sellers took back the role for Return. Frank Waldman and Tom Waldman also make their debut writing the series. Frank Waldman would co-write The Return of the Pink Panther, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Revenge of the Pink Panther, and Trail of the Pink Panther. Tom Waldman would co-write Trail with Frank. Apart from the 2006 film, Inspector Clouseau is the only entry in the series that does not feature Sellers and is not directed by Blake Edwards. Both were involved at that time with the film The Party. The Mirisch Company wanted to proceed with this movie, so when Sellers and Edwards declined to participate, Mirisch decided to proceed without them. The film languished in obscurity and although it has been released to home video on VHS and DVD, was not included as part of the Pink Panther Collection. The film is also now, on Hulu.com as a full film (currently only available in the United States). An organized crime wave strikes across Europe. Suspecting a mole within Scotland Yard, the Prime Minister brings Clouseau in to solve the case. Clouseau foils two assassination attempts but is accidentally kidnapped. The gang use him to make a face mask. Later, they use their Clouseau masks to commit a series of daring bank robberies across Europe. Eventually, Clouseau foils the plot and unmasks the traitor within the Yard.
