Whether failing to pole vault a castle's moat or skimming across the Paris rooftops in a disguise that has somehow inflated like a balloon, or setting his nemesis, Chief Inspector Dreyfus, into paroxysmal eye twitchings. Inspector Clouseau has never wavered in his conviction that he is the world's greatest detective. It is this blithe, impenetrable side of Sellers, pared down and exhibited with art old master's exquisitely crafted minimalism, that is perfectly stated in the character of poor, Effectless...
