Inspector Clouseau

1968 · 96 min

Tagline
Put Clouseau on another case? They wouldn't dare!
Overview
Detective Inspector Jacques Clouseau is borrowed from the Surete on special assignment for Scotland Yard in hopes that a fresh outlook will help the government recover the loot from the Great Train Robbery, which is being used to underwrite a new crime wave. What they don't count on, however, is having more than one Clouseau on the job.
