FOLA's annual Film Series highlighting the movies of Peter Sellers continues with a screening of "The Return of the Pink Panther" on Saturday April 27 at 7pm in the Heald Auditorium at Ludlow Town Hall. Sellers reprises his role as the famously inept Inspector Clouseau, who is called in once again to catch the thief who has stolen the famous diamond, the Pink Panther.

FOLA would say thanks to our generous sponsors for this year's film series: Big Eyes Baker, Ludlow Rotary, Marylou Scofield, Attorney at Law, and The Book Nook.

"The Return of the Pink Panther" is the third movie in the Pink Panther series (over ten years since the second one, "The Shot in the Dark", had been released). Peter Sellers once again plays the idiotic Inspector Clouseau, who despite having been temporarily demoted to a cop on the beat is once again tasked with catching the thief who has taken the Pink Panther diamond. Unbeknownst to Clouseau, his boss, Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus (played by Herbert Lom) has become so exasperated with Clouseau that he is trying to kill him. The bumbling detective travels to exotic locales all over Europe in pursuit of the jewel thief, Sir Charles Litton aka the Phantom (played by Christopher Plummer). It's a slapstick comedy and a crime thriller wrapped into one hilarious movie. Don't miss the post-credits scene to find out what happens to Chief Inspector Dreyfus.

Please join us this spring for a set of wild and hilariously Peter Sellers movies. "The Return of the Pink Panther" on Saturday April 27, and "Being There" on May 11. All movies start at 7pm.

"The Return of the Pink Panther" is open to everyone and is free (donations are appreciated). The movie is rated G and runs one hour and fifty three minutes. Berkshire Bank will provide the popcorn with FOLA supplying water. This movie has been specifically sponsored by Big Eyes Bakery and Ludlow Rotary.
