Peter Sellers suffered a major heart attack the year of this film causing health problems for the rest of his life.
This only increased his erratic on-set behavior throughout his career until a final coronary killed him in 1980

I always feel so sorry for Dreyfuss in these movies.
I think he’s really the hero. Clouseau becomes more and more of an abstract figure in the sequels - an agent of chaos while he continues to suffer!

This stuntman had to run through this apartment and out the window, waggling his legs while falling down, THREE TIMES until Blake Edwards was satisfied with the take!

George Sanders told the crew that each time anyone broke up laughing during a take 5 pounds would be put in a jar.
the jar grew to 200 pounds which was given to a local farmer at the end of shooting.

So Peter Sellers does Dr. Strangelove, #AShotInTheDark, AND The World of Henry Orient AND the TV movie Carol for Another Christmas in 1964 alone, today's really problematic faves have to up their game #FlicksForAll
George Sanders was the first of many Mr Freeze’s on #Batman66

I think my favorite Sellers might be After the Fox by Vitorio De Sica which is a movie about movies

Herbert Lom said that Peter Sellers was impossible to work with because of his on-set behavior.
Lom did the impossible 3 more times.

This guy s why I hate Mike Myers so much #sorry
He steals nearly everything from Sellers but he never gets that Sellers’ genius was that he wasn’t afraid to be unlikeable

Sophia Loren politely declined the role of Maria having working with Peter Sellers in The Millionairess (1960)
Sellers became publicly infatuated with her despite both of them being married and she having no interest.

Claudia Cardinale (RIP) went on to play her in Son of the Pink Panther but she also confusingly played the role of Princess Dala in the first The Pink Panther

In case you’re not caught up:
Clouseau was happily married in the first movie to a woman who was having an affair with a world famous jewel thief who framed him for his crimes and he was on his way to prison…
