A Shot in the Dark

1964 · dir. Blake Edwards

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Crime / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to After the Thin Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Shot in the Dark is

French countryside, late spring, a scream. A murdered man, a smoking gun, a housemaid. Inspector Clouseau arrives, instantly convinced of her innocence, blind to mounting evidence and fresh corpses. A perfectly preserved bauble of mid-century slapstick.
