Sure they can. Young actors/performers are just as skilled, talented, and classy as they've ever been. It's just not what general audiences want now. It's a shame, but true. This takes nothing away from Fran Jeffries, but if she had been born to this current time, there wouldn't be a demand for all of her talents. Same is true for Mancini. They'd probably both still be working today, but their skills would appear differently because, again, this isn't what general audience are looking for now. Nostalgia is that sense that good things only exist in the past. This couldn't be further from the truth. But tastes change.

For me, not only one of the funniest films ever made, but also, one of the most beautiful.

Consider this scene was probably shot on a grey Tuesday morning in Shepperton, cold and drizzly, yet they managed to convey us to the glamorous Cortina resort in Italy and boy, didn't it look incredible?!

I was nine years old when "The Pink Panther" came out, and I thought that this scene was the last word in grown-up sophistication. I wanted nothing more than to grow up as quickly as possible, so that I too could hang out at exclusive ski resorts, having adventures with beautiful princesses, jewel thieves, and undercover policemen. Well, I'm 63 now, and I've seen my share of the high life, on both sides of the Atlantic; but I've never seen anything that topped the exquisite Miss Jeffries in these three minutes. I guess that's why they call them "fantasies".

One of my all-time-favorite directors. Edwards had directing range beyond comedy that some people forget (Days Of Wine And Roses, for instance). The ONLY thing I could hold against him was continuing to make sequels after Sellers died...that was shameless & greedy. But that still doesn't diminish the original perfection that is The Pink Panther.

This entire scene is shot in one continuous take with not cuts in between. The set is filled with some of the most famous, talented and beautiful actors of the time and I hardly even see them. One can scarcely help taking his eyes off of her. She is well rehearsed yet spontaneous, musical, lovely to look at, and she has a well-trained, one-of-a-kind raspy voice to top it off. Mancini's well-crafted melody reminds us of his melodic genius. Love this scene!

Bellissimo film e fantastica canzone

I watched this movie when I was 6/7 in 2006. I remember making my parents play this song over and over again. I now realize its because I had a massive crush on the lovely Fran Jeffries.

I always loved this scene! Even as a kid!

What makes the scene unique is that there are two dual realities. The dancer/singer is playing both to the movie theater audience as she plays directly to the camera and to context to the scene itself (the ski lodge). So those in theatre are drawn in with cast and are part of the films reality. It is surreal. This is what can be accomplished with truly talented people, a good script and a sophisticated public and audience. No special effects or gratuitous sex but rather implied which is sexier. This would probably not work today as the audiences are not as sophisticated nor is the Hollywood talent at this level.

It's the subtle look on Peter Sellers face when he looks down at his hands cracks me up every time and the cowbell quickly after it, he looks at the singer 😂 1:05

This scene has it all: first, impeccable one-shot cinematography that pulls the viewer into the frame, at the invitation of the mesmerising Miss Jeffries. Second, those Beautiful People, but with just enough schlubs to let the rest of us believe that if only we could be in the right place at the right time... Third, cowbell! Fourth, spandex. I could go on. I was 14 when this came out, and took up skiing that winter- hope springs eternal. But by that time Kennedy was dead, Camelot was no more, and this movie came to represent, paradoxically, the epitome of sophistication and at the same time, a lost innocence. A masterpiece that sums up an era in three breathtaking minutes.

Stunning! I can't stop watching it. Absolutely beautiful! This is called CLASSIC!

I despised this the first 27 times...yet here I am am back again!

What an amazing scene. its been said here, but in that one long take - no cuts - you have such famous, talented and beautiful people of their generation. peter Sellers, what an amazing guy, so funny and his movies, especially all the pink panther ones he was in, i loved as a kid growing up, and now as an older man. I take pride that he was born in a house at the corner of the street i grew up on. I just love him. David Niven, all of them, just truly amazing people of their generation. I watched the movie last week, and have been humming the tune ever since, so i had to come here and watch/listen to it again. wonderful music, the placement of the cow-bells.. LOL. That movie reminds me of a simpler time in my life, being a kid and laughing at all the craziness this wonderful movie has to offer. With this pandemic still going on, and the world feeling very heavy these days, we need more of these movies to help lift us up, make us laugh, and forget our troubles even if its only for an hour or so.

I just re-watched the pink panther film series again and this song just stuck in my head i kept thinking about it even after watching all 9 movies, i came back to watch this performance by Fran Jeffries again and again, i never heard of her before and i watched all the pink panther movies before but i didn't remember this scene, i will never forget it now, in this movie Fran Jeffries is one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen and yes that's up there with Claudia Cardinale who was also one of the most beautiful women in the world back then. this song is amazing and beautiful, the singer is beautiful, she doesn't miss a beat she moves her shoulders when the bells ding in the song, she is a beautiful dancer, everything about this scene is beautiful even the cozy atmosphere of the resort and all the audience just admiring her while she performs including david niven and the rest of the cast. the funny thing is when she goes over to peter sellers (Inspector Clouseau) he is deep in coversation with the guy next to him and the guy even gestures for him to shh and when she dances over to him he even has to pull peter sellers away cause he's obliviously to close to her, I wonder if this was all part of peters sellers genius, as he was still in his bumbling character that Clouseau would be to busy talking and not even paying attention to the most beautiful woman on the planet. then when she pulls him off to dance around the room he bumbles facing the guy behind him and has to turn around and run toward her, then at the end of the song he does his shoulder shrug like she was doing at the part of the bells. peter sellers was such a comic genius even in small parts or parts where he's not the main actor in the scene he is still giving comic performances.

Peter sellers is such an amazing actor but something by the way he looks when they start dancing tells me that it was improv, but even still it’s such an awesome scene. I wish they would have used this song on the album with her singing it.

Talent....

the later movies in the series tried to recreate a musical scene similar to this but none came even close to this one

I was also 9 years old when this movie was released. I'm 66 now, and I still LOVE this flick. Like the others who commented as to the sophistication this movie portrayed, I had hoped to grow up in such a society. I never made it to Europe, and the whole world has changed anyway.

I quite understand. I had Henry Mancini cassette with the instrumental, "It Had Better Be Tonight", in the 1990s and it was lost to time. I went to the motel restaurant when I was on the road in the mid-'90s and _just_ as I'm crossing the threshold this song starts up as I'm being shown to my table. It felt like the height of sophistication with all of that evening's elements working together.

This woman had talent, she had that crowd eating out of her hand.
