Dern recently wound up his role as the ne'er-do-well anti-hero in the master's Family Plot. Hitchcock promised: "You're going to be the first actor I've ever made into a star...

Litton must track down the real culprits while Clouseau stalks him. There is little question of ever catching Litton, of course, but the unnatural disasters that Clouseau's pursuit can bring might make any man cautious...
...flick-in his home town of Phoenix with all the trimmings, including limousines and klieg lights raking the sky. By 20, he was in college just outside Los Angeles and had bluffed his way onto the Universal lot, where he hung around movie sets "until I got thrown off.
