Farmers in England, northern France, Belgium, northern Italy and West Germany went months without rain, while their fields dried out and their crops shriveled.

All of which is typical movie fare for fans of intrepid Inspector Clouseau, the bumbling gumshoe played by Peter Sellers.

This time Sellers' co-star is Actress Lesley-Anne Down, formerly Georgina in the Upstairs, Downstairs...
