Revenge of the Pink Panther is a 1978 comedy film directed by Blake Edwards who wrote the screenplay with Frank Waldman and Ron Clark. The sixth film in The Pink Panther film series, it features the final new appearance of Peter Sellers in the role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau prior to his death in 1980; the next installment; Trail of the Pink Panther (1982), largely consisted of deleted scenes and outtakes of Sellers from previous films. It was also the last installment in the Pink Panther series that was distributed solely by United Artists; the company was absorbed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1981, three years after the film's release.
