Clouseau's blundering personality is unchanged, but it was in this film that Sellers began to give him the idiosyncratically exaggerated French accent that was to later become a hallmark of the character. The film also introduces Herbert Lom as his long-suffering boss, Commissioner Dreyfus,Burt Kwouk as his stalwart man servantCato and André Maranne as François, all of whom would become series regulars.Elke Sommer portrays the murder suspect, Maria Gambrelli. The character of Gambrelli would return in Son of the Pink Panther (1993), this time played byClaudia Cardinale, who appeared as Princess Dala in The Pink Panther(1963). Graham Stark, who portrays police officer Hercule Lajoy, would reprise this role eighteen years later, inTrail of the Pink Panther (1982).
The film was not originally written to include Clouseau, but was an adaptation of a stage play by Harry Kurnitz adapted from the French play L'Idiote by Marcel Achard.The film was released only a few months after the first Clouseau film,The Pink Panther.
