Pink Panther, The -- Farcical comedy introducing the accident-prone French policeman, Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers), in Switzerland on the trail of a suspected English jewel thief (David Niven) after the fabled gem of the title. Directed by Blake Edwards, the comic caper complications are broad and zesty, ranging from unsubtle sight gags and silly puns to bedroom hanky-panky, with the clumsy antics of the dim Clouseau amusing enough to sustain six sequels. Slapstick violence, sexual situations and double entendres. (A-III) (br) ( 1964 )

The classifications are as follows:

A-I -- general patronage;
A-II -- adults and adolescents;
A-III -- adults;
L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
O -- morally offensive.
