Midweek Mention... The Pink Panther

The Pink Panther (1963)

Sidey: Pink Panther,

Dan: the rinky dink panther.

Sidey: This is the 1963 original. Not because this is a Steve Martin.

there's reboot.

Dan: there's been quite a few. Once you start looking at Pink Panthers, you realize, wow.

Sidey: Not all a cannon apparently.

But this is,

Dan: well, I don't remember having seen this through.

Start to finish before, I think I'd seen parts of it before and there were certain bits of it, thought I remembered the skiing scene and a couple others. But

Cris: I've never seen this

Dan: no, this was news to me.

Sidey: It's so one of those films, it's on, on a Sunday when you're growing up, you know, on ITV and all that sort of stuff.

So I'd say I've probably seen bits, but I don't remember it. Like watching it for this felt like seeing it for the first time.

Dan: Well, we were talking about Pete Sellers, weren't we? Mm-hmm. And thought we ain't done much on him, considering what an icon of comedy and British film he was. We'd done Doctor Strange Love.

Sidey: I think we just talked about it quite a bit. Yeah. Top fives and what have you. But [00:01:00] no,

Dan: so this is our seller's debut

Sidey: and we're starting off, Once upon a time or something like that. Yeah. And yeah, the maharaj are giving the, the jewel, the, the

Cris: Well they, they give, he gets it first.

Right. Then it's like a flow as all the sign. A stone is this size. There is the has flaw.

Reegs: Yeah. And then we zoom into that floor, don't we? To get the animated. Intro sequence, which is a bunch of like Pink Panther being followed by a clso and all that sort of stuff.

Sidey: yeah. And then into Rome.

With some good FI 500 content right outta the gate. I love those cars.

Cris: Very

Dan: Very nice, really nice. And I mean, all the way through this film, you just see the upper echelons of society really. They're all attracted in and around this stone. Because it is a huge stone, isn't it? The Pink

Sidey: It's

the biggest in the world, isn't it?

It's the biggest diamond in the world they say.

Reegs: Well, first I think we meet is accomplished, don't we?

He's cracking a safe and [00:02:00] leaving behind the glove. The glove, the one-handed white glove.

Sidey: Smell The glove. Yeah.

Reegs: He gets away in his blue van or whatever. I think he, he ab sails down the side of the building, doesn't he? And then he sets fire to the rope as the guys are trying to Yeah, follow him.

And then he jets off. And then I think after This is when we're introduced to cso, isn't it?

Sidey: Yeah, well there's

the,

the, wife in, we dunno, it's the wife in, she's. She's the sort of fence, isn't she? Oh

Reegs: Capuchin was the name of the actress.

Sidey: Oh really? Yeah. She's, she's doing the like, reversible coat thing. Yeah. Escaping as well. And it, they think it's her.

Reegs: Oh yeah, that's it. She gets into the phantom, she gets into the lift, doesn't she? And then she gets changed and

Sidey: and

they, they don't, they don't suspect it's

Dan: right. 'cause they meet down on the, yeah.

On the river, don't they?

Sidey: And then, then we meet OSE and he's like, obviously fucking everything up. As he touches something, it goes to shit, you know? And he's, he's

Reegs: I mean like he just, him as a character, he's like constantly falling over or knocking shit. It's a bit like being around me basically, isn't he? He's quite dyspraxic sort of [00:03:00] thing. I think when he is introduced, he's like mindlessly spinning a globe and then he goes to lean on it and then just sort of skims off the side of it.

Sidey: Yeah. It's a good visual comedy. And he's saying, we've gotta catch this phantom, this, this woman which we've seen. And he's saying all this and

Reegs: Well, he's, he's caught a glimpse of him as well. The phantom, hasn't he? That's it. He's, he's caught a glimpse

Sidey: and,

Reegs: before

Sidey: And then said, oh, your wife needs to speak to you. And she enters the room and you're like, fuck.

Reegs: Yeah.

Cris: The same

Dan: So

Sidey: getting completely like

Reegs: own wife is fencing for the phantom.

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: Dun, dun dun.

Cris: And then the next scene is Los

Reegs: sentence

Cris: with the George, because they say meanwhile.

Reegs: all, it keeps going. Meanwhile, meanwhile, meanwhile, setting up all the main characters. George is the sort of Playboy nephew of David

Dan: Robert Wagner, a young Robert Wagner looking sharp, isn't he?

yeah.

Reegs: nice and he's doing a graduation day photo that is part of a scheme that he's got going on because he owes 40 large to Big [00:04:00] Joe. Yeah. And his heavies turn up to turn the place over with Pierre. Luigi, the photographer kicks him out or whatever. He runs off, doesn't he?

Dan: Well, he says Pierre Luigi, doesn't he? Oh, I can't do photographs. And he just offers him a bit of money. He goes, oh, I can do the photograph. And yeah, he's he's been chased by some mafioso type figures who. You know, fall, fall short again, trying to chase him down because he's already out the door and crossing the road and running away and getting away with it.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: He runs in the family

Cris: and then we go to the mountains, right?

Reegs: Cortina

damp. Pezo. Yeah.

Sidey: Yeah.

Cris: Cortina Dam. Pezo.

Reegs: yeah. Oh, that's better.

Dan: It's in the northeast of Korea.

Italy.

Korea,

yeah. Of yeah,

Sidey: It's super glamorous.

Dan: It's just, looks, abs, you know, it's the.

Sidey: It's the ho ploy, the high society. And there's one particular woman there who

Reegs: She's in Pink. Yeah.

Sidey: The one who hosts all the parties.

Reegs: Oh, princess Darla, I thought you were talking

Sidey: No, because first, at first, it's the woman who [00:05:00] hosts all the parties.

And that's where it keeps happening. It keeps they keep getting robbed at these parties. Yeah. And, and then yeah, they see Princess Darla go past. She is a fucking babe, by the way. She was super hot.

Cris: Claudia Cardena know.

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, yeah. She all her, all her, she

Dan: Weld, or she was a,

Sidey: part? Well, dubbed

Yeah. I shouldn't speak any English.

Cris: I

was thinking that she was, I, I was very curious that she spoke English. I, I don't know much about her, but I, I thought she would be a

Dan: bit cleverly done. And well, her job is just looking fine throughout this film, I guess. And she does that well,

Sidey: Well also, she's. Been exiled because the,

Reegs: we get a nice bit of exposition via a newspaper clip that shows who she is and what the situation is, doesn't it? 'cause it's got a picture of her on the front ki page and the country that she comes from is asking for the diamond back

Sidey: Yeah. Her dad died. Yeah. And then there was a military takeover and they're saying that Diamond belongs to the people, not to you.

[00:06:00] Yeah. When she's saying. The opposite of that.

Dan: remember when my dad gave it me.

Sidey: Yeah. He said she's not gonna give up 'cause it was a gift from her father. And so they're petitioning some sort of international court to decide on where it should go anyway. Some other people have got designs on this gem as well.

Reegs: Well, everyone's got designs on it, haven't they? Really? Yeah.

Cris: And then we meet our pal,

Reegs: so Charles Litton. David Niven,

Sidey: Malloy.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: Yeah. He, he, he's abs That's it.

He's absolutely a, a lady's man of a certain age who has.

Sidey: he's a bachelor dad.

Dan: Yeah, he's a bachelor. And he's had all the attention thrown on him and he, he knows how to deal with society and he knows how to deal with the, the ladies and gentlemen that entertain at the highest levels

Reegs: he's got the most incredible clothes as well. He's, that red

Sidey: Crush

Reegs: jacket that

Sidey: Was, I was vibing

Reegs: just so incredible.

Dan: Yeah. He's and he's [00:07:00] trying to get in because. He, he sees the, the princess there. He knows she's got the, the panther. And as we learn, he is the phantom

Reegs: Yeah. It's not much of a spoiler, that really is it?

Dan: He's got that twinkle in his eye.

But what becomes really weird is that you realize how close.

CSOs wife is with him

Sidey: because they're shaggy, aren't they?

Dan: they're they're shagging. Yeah.

Reegs: They've got an adjoining room, hasn't it? So Charles is staying in a, 'cause CSO turns up on the trail of the panther. He's sure that it's going to, you know, the phantom is gonna strike for the Panther diamond and he turns up with his misses and it's gonna kick off a hole like subplot of him.

Basically, he's gonna spend about 40 minutes of the movie trying to get laid. Yeah. And it's not

Cris: and she's making excuses for not

Reegs: making, excuses for not doing it, and also trying to sneak off to the adjoining room where Sir Charles is to have lots of conversations with him and when his nephew turns up a little bit later in the film as well to kind of be thrown to seduce [00:08:00] him as well.

Dan: And she, at one point gets jealous of his

Advances

to the princess because she's obviously she's called the, yeah, so Charles is trying to. You know, get in with the princess, isn't he? He's trying to find out where the panther is and where she keeps it. And she's known as the Virgin,

Sidey: The Virgin

Dan: Virgin Queen, queen, the Virgin Queen.

And he's going, oh, is that true? How'd you get a name? Not? He goes, well, I am a queen. I can, I know you're not, you're not a queen. You're not quite answering the question.

Sidey: Yeah, it's the Virgin Queen as well, isn't it?

He he has a leg injury. From skiing,

Reegs: Yeah. Well 'cause they set up a, a sort of fake injury, isn't it?

It's 'cause he there somebody tries to steal a dog. Yeah. It's the first time that somebody tries to steal a dog. 'cause they tried to steal it twice, don't they? And Sir Charles sort of bravely intercepts him and injures himself in the process, which gets him an invite over to a flat where we'll get fucking 40 minutes.

Maybe a very tedious, [00:09:00] like sixties sex comedy shit

of

Sidey: Oh, those two on the, on the rug. Well, first he goes to her place. And they just fucking berate him for being a womanizer. Yeah. They just call him out and all this bullshit and he's like, actually, I think I'm gonna fuck off. My leg hurts. So they let him go and then she phones him back, says, oh, we're a bit off there if you wanna come back for a drink.

And she's made it very clear that she doesn't

Dan: Yeah.

Sidey: But if you wanna come back and he's like, nah, fuck that. My legs too hurts. Why don't you come over here? And after a bit of toing and

Dan: unless you are scared.

Sidey: I'll be over in five minutes. And yeah, like you say,

Reegs: but they flip flop from this, like

Sidey: then he basically plays her with Boozes and she's okay with it after explicitly saying, I don't fucking drink. I

Reegs: don't drink, I don't drink. And then she has one drink and is so plastered that he like literally has to fold her up in a

Sidey: I thought she her up in a, I thought she died. She

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: and

Reegs: he like drags her across the

Sidey: floor.

Yeah.

Cris: on

a tiger.

Reegs: On a, yeah.

Sidey: on a sex panther skin. Yeah.

Reegs: So he takes her in the growler and lays her on the, the bed, which is where Charles as George turns up. George turns

Sidey: up,

Cris: Where he's [00:10:00] asleep and, and it's one of them that George gives him a hand to put her in bed and then he's like, George.

Reegs: Yeah. What are you doing here?

Cris: oh, you gave me a hand to put this woman into bed, but how come you are

Reegs: doing, they've both got some explaining to do,

Sidey: is all a bit drawn out. That's that whole sequence though, wasn't it?

Reegs: Mm-hmm.

Dan: Yeah. It's, it is bringing the two big stars together in the film here. Wagner and David Niven and pit them up as uncle. Nephew and find out that they're both into the scheming and

Cris: well, this is where the plot thickens, right?

Because they both end up in CSOs room. It's a whole scene again where they kind of

Reegs: I actually really like this scene. This was the funniest scene in the movie. It's again, CSO trying to get laid and all of the machinations of the Pink Panther plot going on around him is like various men.

She brings three men into the room, doesn't she? She brings to Charles George and CSO and Oh yeah. And Iluso and various people hiding under the bed [00:11:00] and.

Sidey: Like housekeeping come up to clean up the mess of the broken VARs as well.

Yeah.

Reegs: vase is very good FARs content here involving a great little gag where he's playing the violin to soothe her 'cause she she keeps complaining about being too nervous to shag him basically.

Dan: and

it it, well, is it a, a

Sidey: He stands on it if one of his like clamps and he goes, oh, it's only a Strat.

Reegs: Yeah.

Cris: Once you've seen one of

Sidey: them,

Reegs: he's playing it in bed later when it's repaired and it's like,

he's

like, oh, it's beautiful

Dan: As good as ever. Yeah. Totally oblivious to David

Reegs: and when he finally gets close to her she's bought a bottle of champagne in that sort of prematurely pops all over the

Cris: well, George brings it, but this is where the Sir Charles sees his nephew finding the kit.

Reegs: Yeah. So

Cris: where he kind of

Reegs: George rumbles that Sir Charles is the Phantom.

Sidey: Also it's fairly obvious that sir Charles. Is it, is he actually into the princess?

Dan: Yeah, I think he is.

Sidey: got the hots for

Cris: well as you [00:12:00] would.

Sidey: Yeah. And,

Dan: he is a player, isn't he?

He's not just

Sidey: to the point that he's actually having second thoughts about the heist

Reegs: as it goes on. Yeah. It, he does. He starts to say that toe's wife. Yeah. That he's Yeah. Thinking of backing out and not going through with it

Dan: and she's besotted with him and sort of planning to escape once all this is

Sidey: Yeah. It started off as a love triangle. Now it's the love like dodecahedron or something. It's a lot of things in play.

Reegs: Yeah. Because George is sort of involved. It's not clear whether she wants to shag him or not. But she has some part of the plan has her seducing him as well. Yeah.

Dan: there's

Cris: George Fox off cso, someone tells him that the guy that stole the dog works with some Charles and then Sir Charles leaves in CSOs Coat and shoe.

Yeah, that's right. And then they go into. I dunno. Somewhere else in Rome or

Dan: well, they, they're teaming up for the big fancy dress party. But there's one scene before that where a girl is singing and she's just knockout as well. It's

Reegs: [00:13:00] Scene. The movie just stops for like four minutes

Cris: a great song

Reegs: like a cool little Italian song, I think it was.

And she's like being all sexy and slinking

Cris: translation is, it's all happening tonight, or it'll all

Reegs: Yeah. Come

Cris: tonight or something like that.

Sidey: Yeah. And it is gonna a fancy dress party, which features my wor my favorite joke in the movie, which they immediately spoil.

I they're so

Dan: What was that one?

Sidey: is that one? When he has a go at the guy dressed as a zebra. Yeah.

Cris: Oh, that was brilliant. Huh?

Sidey: you'll lose your stripes. So I was like, great gag. And then he

Reegs: Then he,

Sidey: I'm like, oh, why do you do

Reegs: that.

Cris: Yeah.

Reegs: I think it was 'cause it was maybe a bit too clever for CSO to crack, so we had to shine a light

Sidey: on it.

Yeah.

Reegs: But yeah,

Cris: I thought the best one was when the zebra turns out in the middle of the street after the car chase and they just kind of hoof hoof around the middle of the street and the guy looks and is like,

Dan: Well, that's it. There's, there's you know, absolute maam in shoes, including two people in a gorilla costume, one of them being the phantom, another one being [00:14:00] the ambassador. The ambassador who is in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets accused

Reegs: fact, there's three of them, isn't there? This is, I, there's George, both George and Sir Charles are in gorilla costumes and the ambassador as well. So that's why it gets really complicated with who's doing what. And you know, sometimes they think it's Sir Charles and it's the, the ambassador, and sometimes they

Dan: And the ambassador, they've already kind of unmasked once and accused of, you know, being the, the phantom. So they're, they're really loathed to, to unmask a gorilla again and, and do the same.

Sidey: and it's all going on whilst the fireworks are going

Reegs: Yeah. That somebody accidentally lets them

Sidey: Yeah. He's got one in his hand as fucking like,

Dan: Yeah. Well he thinks it's a candle and it's like not. And it's like the entire house

Sidey: starts It's a Roman candle. I

Dan: It's letting,

It's go, it's going crazy.

Reegs: And meanwhile, the two gorillas, George and Charles, they break into where the princess has got her safe and they've got this crazy like bit where they're mirroring each

Sidey: Yeah. 'cause there's a, it's like a pillar with [00:15:00] a safe on either

Reegs: Yeah. With the same safe they can reach into. So, they discover that the, the gem is in fact missing. So then they hightail it out there and it kicks off the big chase scene that you're talking about. Chris with a guy, there's an old guy trying to cross the street and he can't, and it's just crazy.

The cars going back

Dan: the quietest street ever, isn't it? It is like a fountain in the middle. It's just quiet at night. Quiet little town. And as he's starting to cross the road. Cars start whizzing by really quick and then, you know, driving them a gorillas or zebras

Reegs: or

they're crashing into each other or,

Dan: or they're crashing into each other

Reegs: Eventually he gets a chair, doesn't he? And just sits and watches

Dan: sits back

Cris: better to do that,

Reegs: right? Yeah.

Yeah.

Sidey: It

turns out that CSO had pre-warned the princess about the heist and his wife. Had told her that this was about to go down and she said, don't worry, I've already hidden it.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: Because [00:16:00] she, she's into CHAS as well, isn't she?

Mm-hmm. They've got a little

Cris: by the looks of it.

Dan: Yeah. David nis got these

Sidey: he's way old for her, and I was

Dan: He's, well, I, I looked at the ages. She was, he's 50. Three, I think 54 years old when he made this. And yeah. And he

Cris: older than

Sidey: that.

Reegs: Who? David Nivan. Yeah, he did. Yeah.

Dan: he was, and they were, you know.

Late twenties

Sidey: because when they were kissing, I was like,

Dan: I think

Cris: the same time in this movie, he loves a brandy and a

Sidey: Yeah, yeah. At the time,

Cris: So

Dan: he had that one. He just had one glass of champagne, didn't he? And he goes, oh, I'll come and pick you up in an hour. Then he just walked out and and then he just goes and, and a like, he knocks back a brandy and as a cigar it's just a cat and a bounder. I say, yeah.

Sidey: So there's a, there's a trial, isn't there? There's

Dan: There's a trial.

Reegs: Charles and George have both been arrested following the fra car over the,

Dan: and I just did not see the way that this was gonna finish because

Cris: but they're having a jolly old time in, [00:17:00] in prison.

They

Reegs: are,

Dan: they're

having a great time in prison. It's Robert Wagner and David Nivan sat side by side. Feeling really kind of relaxed about their chances of getting away with it all it seems. But I couldn't see how it was gonna happen until the barrister just flips it on its head and starts

Cris: well, Capuchin goes to the wife, CSOs wife goes to Princess Dara Nara.

Sidey: dla

Cris: Goes to the princess and tells her what's going on, and that's when she actually says like, well, there was no w why they, they've been accused of theft, but the stone is missing.

Mm-hmm. They, they couldn't find the stone. And she's like, oh, don't worry about it. And then she's like, oh, right, okay. So you don't want it to be found because you don't want it to be given back to the people, basically. Yeah. And then they come up with this plan to turn it on its head, and that's when they say, oh, the defense calls.

Inspector CSO

Sidey: So,

Reegs: Yeah. And

Cris: he's like me for the, for the defense. [00:18:00] And then they turn it on his head. How many times? Which I thought it was really

Reegs: funny

They basically got one line of argument, which is all circumstantial. It's essentially you were there at the same time.

Cris: Not only that, pretty much, yeah.

But also. They've been 16 robberies at this woman's party. Yeah. And no one decided that this is, let's not make these parties

Sidey: I know. I thought it was quite

Cris: It's like 16 times. Or you've been, and, and this someone, it's not the same person, but yeah.

Surely

something is up here

Sidey: They're making, they're making clso sweat on the stand, aren't

Reegs: fitting him up.

Sidey: up. Yeah. And he pulls out, well, he goes to pull out his handkerchief to mop his brow.

Yeah. And in his pocket, he's got

Dan: he's got the panther.

Reegs: dun, dun,

Sidey: well, I think you would notice a big fucking

Reegs: massive diamond in your

Dan: clso though. A bit nervous, a bit daft.

He's banged to rights. And you see him

Reegs: also for some reason that I truly did not understand this whole part.

Turn of events makes him a, a sex

Sidey: symbol. Yeah, [00:19:00]

Reegs: isn't it? It's so bizarre, I suppose because people think he's the phantom or Yeah. But women just start screaming at him wherever he goes.

Sidey: and he's like, this is all right.

Reegs: yeah. This is

Dan: And the, the policemen accompany him to jail, are like, wow, you're the

Reegs: How did, how did you do it?

And he is like, well,

Sidey: it wasn't easy.

And they mow down the Pink Panther, the animated Pink Panther on the way. Yeah, that's right. And then crash.

Reegs: And there's a little thing where Sir Charles and Prince Darla are a bit like, wow. We fitted him up, but I'll still strike again, and then he'll be released.

Yeah. So, so, so Princess Darla and Sir Charles May be going off for a future lover affair. I don't think any of the story threads were really tied up, were they?

Sidey: Well, I just thought that once he had then. Exposed where the Juul was that it would just get confiscated then surely.

In court. So her, her plan of it

Reegs: it was silly.

Sidey: was, yeah, it was

Dan: yeah. I think she's gotta say kiss goodbye to it. But she did it for love, didn't she? She, she was in love with Sir Charles, and he gets away with it[00:20:00]

Sidey: but that's never gonna work. She's

Dan: it's never gonna work.

Sidey: big.

Dan: Sir. Charles's already looking for someone younger. You're right. It was

Reegs: shit. Nette, let's be honest. I mean, CSOs barely in it for,

Sidey: Yeah. That was the biggest surprise for me in

Reegs: of the movie. I did remember this from the last time that I'd watched it. It's a mostly charmless sixties sex comedy. Nivan is horribly mis, like, not miscast, but it's just, it doesn't like

Sidey: we're watching it now, it really doesn't work. Like,

Reegs: it's like really icky, isn't it? And, it's fucking long and

Sidey: hours long. Yeah,

Reegs: Long, long, long. And I clearly prefer the sort of ized version of Clso where he is fucking fall on the screen all the time falling over. That's what I want. When I won a Pink Panther movie, 'cause I do like some of the Pink Panther movies, but the first one kind of sucks.

Sidey: I agree. I was really surprised at how little he was on the screen for and, and then all the visual comedy bits. That's what I was expecting. And, and

Reegs: all the scenes with him are great.

Sidey: No. Some of it's a bit

Reegs: him trying to shag his wife is so funny.

Sidey: The, the ze bit was great. [00:21:00] His funny, yeah, I agree. David Niman is quite, probably was less jarring then. Yeah. But now you watch it like fucking old man. He looks older than 50 odd.

Reegs: And I just wasn't, it's not what you're there for to watch an old man sort of seduce a, you know, it is Pratt

Dan: I, I, I can only assume that they were huge stars

Sidey: the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dan: know, and they were the big.

Draw. Yeah. You know, you get David Niven, you get Robert Wagner and Peter Sellers can fill

Reegs: sellers had a massive inferiority complex about Robert Wagner and lost loads of weight and may even have had cosmetic surgery, you know, because he was very

Sidey: Yeah. And.

Reegs: and you know,

Dan: but he was never looks wise as blessed as Robert Wagner.

But who was, I mean, to be honest, he was an absolute sort of, he was a Chris, wasn't he? He was, he was right up there and, david Niven

Reegs: wasn't actually a million miles away from derma mulroy or whatever in copycat. Is that sort of, that kind of look of chiseled?

Dan: [00:22:00] Yeah. He's, he said, but I didn't dislike it as much as what it sounds like you guys did.

Sidey: I had a few laughs. I did have a few

Dan: but I just, it harp back. I like the color. I like the, the,

I

Cris: say exactly that. I agree with you on that. I like the color, I like the costumes. I disagree with you. I thought Clusa was the most boring part of it.

Reegs: Oh,

1. If it wasn't for him, I couldn't

Cris: don't think that was funny with him trying. Oh, no, I'm tired, won't she? I just thought pretty much everything else that was funny, was funny rather than him trying to be the, the clumsy guy all the time. But again, that's just, again, that's just my, my view on it. I like, I, I like the color, I like the, and it's just, yeah, the difference.

It's a sixties

Sidey: it could have been a stage play because, 'cause it was just a couple of rooms a lot of the time. Yeah. And it could have just coming out one door and

Dan: I like the, the singing in it as well. That, that girl that, therefore that was, that was probably my favorite scene. And it was and it's basically them just in a big ski lodge or, or whatever it was [00:23:00] with the fire going and her singing this amazing song.

Sidey: I watched it with the misses and both of us, like this is some fucking hotel they stall in mean, like everything's a suite.

Dan: All, all the, you know, the champagne and the, the, the drinks and the diamonds and the high society. And I looked up afterwards where this ski resort was and it's you know, it is, it's like,
