...movie has Claudia Cardinale, spilling out of her role as the Indian princess who owns a coveted teardrop diamond dubbed the "Pink Panther." It has David Niven as the thief, resurrecting his Raffles characterization of 1940. It has Robert Wagner as Niven's ne'er-do-well nephew, who seems to have been shoehorned into the narrative to appease the young.

With these moves, McMurray, a former Government economist and assistant to the late Senator Robert Wagner, has cooled the race for depositors but has brought bitter complaints from many S. & L. leaders.
