New on Blu-ray & 4K Ultra HD: THE PINK PANTHER (1963) Starring David Niven, Peter Sellers, Robert Wagner & Capucine

Product Description: Comedic genius Peter Sellers first tickled the world pink with laughter as the bumbling yet tenacious Inspector Jacques Clouseau in director Blake Edwards’ riotously funny caper The Pink Panther. David Niven stars as Sir Charles, an urbane British playboy who is secretly also smooth criminal “The Phantom.” Trailed by the accident-prone French detective among the jet set, the suave jewel thief sets his sights on stealing The Pink Panther — a large pink diamond whose name derives from its shimmering resemblance to a leaping feline — away from its keeper, the lovely and feisty Princess Dala (Claudia Cardinale). Robert Wagner and Capucine co-star, as Sir Charles’ sly nephew George and Clouseau’s utterly unfaithful wife Simone. Filmed on gorgeous European locales including Cortina d’Ampezzo, the movie created a sensation with its animated opening credits introducing composer Henry Mancini’s unforgettable theme music accompanying the title cartoon character — a cool cat who became a beloved icon for all ages!
