Why Peter Sellers is a better Inspector Clouseau
I finally realized why I like Peter Sellers in the Inspector Clouseau role vs. Steve Martin.
I'm a much bigger SM fan than PS, but the best part about the PS version is he plays Clouseau so deadly serious all the time yet he's a big idiot.
That greater at-odds juxtaposition makes it better to me than SM's less serious portrayal.
That and the SM version on it's own is OK, but just not his best work.
Love me some SM whether it's old standup, SNL, 'Shopgirl' or practically anything but no one bats 1.000.
