This is really a overlooked masterpiece! Germi made a terrific movie from the difficult Gadda's novel. One of his greatest films, together with "Divorzio all'Italiana" e "Il Ferroviere". The acting, especially Germi's, is perfect, and the rythm he impressed to the movie is unique, a sad ballad with soft humor touches. This movie make me proud to be italian and make me a little less ashamed of the contemporary italian cinema. Take a look at this gem and you'll understand!!

Son of the Pink Panther is, of course, the worst film in the P.P. series and in Edwards brilliant career, but the problem is not the director. Benigni is to be blamed first of all,'cause he's completely miscasted (the only big mistake Edwards has made), he isn't able to react to the perfect comedy timings of Maestro Edwards, and, due also to a weak plot, the result is really bad. I really hope that, if there'll be, the new P.P. would be directed by this great master again. He's the only one who can manage Clouseau and his beautiful,strange, idiot world.We don't want this bad movie to be the last directed by one of the greatest directors still alive. So, please,let Mr.Edwards direct something more. Whatever it is!!
