Revised last night on TV. An unusual classic, due to the anomalous length, the American comedy. The signing Blake Edwards, who died recently. Dizzying cast: David Niven and Peter Sellers, Claudia Cardinale and Capucine.
Strangely, it was said, as long as comedy, probably due to the evolution of the plot of the film during its implementation. At first, the protagonist had to be the only gentleman thief played by Niven. Then it seems that the character of the then legendary Inspector Clouseau has taken over, thanks to the imprinting of Sellers, chosen at the last moment in place of Peter Ustinov.
not you laugh from beginning to end, just for an obviously cumbersome nature of film. But there are pearls of rare comedy. Above all, in my view, the near-final scene of the chase car, in a small town just outside Rome. Chimpanzees and zebbre run at the wheel of cars and small cars, coming and going in a vortex in the central square of the village, under the astonished eyes, but not that much of an old man passing by. The human folly summarized in a handful of shots. Very few words, camera movements are not too articulate, a simple gag. Rather the comic overwhelming.
