In our very angst-ridden times, A Shot in the Dark (Prime, 1965) is exactly what is needed. This sequel to The Pink Panther is both a lesson and a distraction. A inspector Jacques Clousea, Peter Sellers takes the art of the ridiculous to the extreme and silliness reigns supreme. Watching this again, after so many years was a real treat.
