Meet the inspector who was always on the job… in the bedroom… in the nightclub… in the nudist colony!

A Shot in the Dark (1964) centers on Inspector Clouseau, who investigates a murder at the home of a wealthy businessman and immediately becomes infatuated with the maid accused of the crime. Despite mounting evidence against her, he remains convinced of her innocence as further killings complicate the investigation. This mystery comedy combines detective intrigue, verbal humor, slapstick, and escalating farce in a lively showcase for Peter Sellers’s bumbling inspector.
