In 1976, Herbert Lom and Peter Sellers shared the screen in The Pink Panther Strikes Again, a film that remains a classic of comedy cinema. Lom, born September 11, 1917, brought his signature gravitas and comic timing to the role of Chief Inspector Dreyfus, while Sellers, born September 8, 1925, reprised his iconic role as the bumbling yet brilliant Inspector Clouseau.
Their dynamic—Lom’s increasingly exasperated authority clashing with Sellers’ chaotic antics—created some of the most memorable comedic moments in the Pink Panther series. This film showcases the height of their on-screen chemistry, combining slapstick, satire, and farce, cementing both actors’ legacies in cinematic comedy.
