Did You Know?

Edit

Trivia	Alan Arkin got the role of Clouseau because Peter Sellers was busy doing The Party (1968), directed by Blake Edwards, who was also the director of the previous Clouseau films. He was replaced by Bud Yorkin. Later, Sellers and Edwards would return to the series. With them, the original composer (Henry Mancini) also returned. See more »
Goofs	At 5:10 Clouseau puts on his shoes in the airplane door. After he retrieves his umbrella and steps off the plane, he falls onto a luggage cart, but his shoes are again missing (the hole in his sock is evident). See more »
