This video is a compendium of the best comic acting and screenplay writing in the world --- not just Herbert Lom and Peter Sellars, but everybody on the screen! Few people today know that Herbert Lom was for decades a very hard-working and reliable character actor who specialized in different kinds of villains. Then suddenly he became a comedy super-star because of the Pink Panther series. The mere fact that he was in the movie at all was funny to us then. He showed the way for Leslie Nielson, who went from stiff-in-a-suit in boring movies to a star of classic American slapstick. Thanks for putting this together for us. I wonder if the younger generation can appreciate this as much as we do.

Lom passed away in 2012, about 2 weeks after his 95th birthday. I never realized he lived that long.

“Minky? You said minky!” Never fails to make me laugh.

🙉🙉🙉 One of my favorites, too.

Poor, poor Dreyfus. At first I felt so bad for him. But then... I felt so really, _really_ bad for him.

Even in death, Inspector Clouseau keeps drives Dreyfus insane! Hahahahaha

He also played many years later when Peter Sellers was no more, in the movie "The son of the Pink Panther. He also played in the sixties, in german western movies from Karl May. Great Drama Player and Comic player. He was a GREAT MAN!

Herbert Lom's voice is so wonderful he could read a rag magazine and make it poetry 😍

"Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world." lmao. . . And you could say that you had good intentions.

Herbert Lom a great actor one of the best at Napoleon I have ever seen

My son and I to this day still laugh till our sides split at all of these hilarious films!!😂🤣

I don't think anyone suffered more than poor inspector dreyfuss 😂 almost fell off my chair laughing so much 😂😂😂😂

Got to hand it to Dreyfus he was so angry at Clouseau he came back after a direct hit of a doomsday machine

He ran amuck with a machine gun. He spent time as criminally insane at an asylum, escaped and held the world for ransom, seemingly evaporated, and yet in the next movie he's back as chief inspector. One must question the hiring practices at the Sûreté.

The pinnacle of slap-stick and comic brilliance in its time. Peter Sellers and Herbert Lom, a partnership made in Heaven ( or Hell). I cannot but cry tears of laughter at the impossible antics of Clouseau and the tortured nightmare of Inspector Dreyfus.

I don’t know how this ended up on my feed, but it reminds me what a great foil Herbert Lom was for Peter Sellers, and how his talent was overlooked because of Sellers’ brilliance. No one could play this part better.

@5:10 "He strangled her." It took Herculean willpower for Chief Inspector Dreyfus to pull his arms back from Inspector Clouseau's neck.

Herbert Lom was a GREAT actor, despite becoming famous mainly from the Pink Panther series. I remember him in Kubrick's "Spartacus" and Dassin's "Night and the City"!

He was also great in The Lady Killers. (Which also had Peter Sellers in it.)

27:48 "Peek-a-beuhhh!" Herbert Lom is an absolute genius through the Pink Panther movies (I actually find his Inspector Dreyfus way funnier than Clouseau). The way he slowly descends into total madness with the twitching eye and insane giggle. "Minky? You said minky!". "Francois, call a doctor. I appear to have stabbed myself". "bimp? You said bimp?!"

Every time Dreyfus saw/mentioned Clouseau, he has a mental breakdown.

Blake Edwards did this editing trick that always made Dreyfus’s falls so much funnier. Edwards would cut to the fall when Dreyfus was already halfway down. I don’t know why but that made the falls even funnier.

Herbert Lom is my spirit animal. By far my favorite actor in the Pink Panther films, far more than even Sellers.

Before "The Pink Panther Strikes Again, the only other time I saw Herbert Lom wear a black cape & play the pipe organ was when he was in the Hammer Film variation of "The Phantom Of The Opera"

Thankyou Herbert Lom , Everything played straight making it even funnier. I always loved what Mr. Lom did and it would have been fascinating to see him play the King on stage in The King and I in 1953 . He is such an intense actor.

What happened to great comedy and comedic actors such as Lom and Sellers. Two of the best ever. We no longer have comedic genius like this.

These movies are true comedy classics and could never be duplicated...Sellers is a comedy genius and Herber Lom is close right behind.

What Dreyfus didn't know was Clouseau was actually a mutant with the powers of survivability and random chaos.

Side-splittingly funny. Honestly, the whole series has had me in tears of laughter, laughing that much my sides hurt. The next day I felt like I'd done a 1000 sit-ups, then I remembered it was because I'd watched Pink Panther. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Having to play it straight and so regrettably pigeon holed the Panther films were tailored to his silky talents.

My eyes are twitching 🤣

Excellent montage so hysterical…comedy no longer exists like this.

A doorman, two customers...and a Cossack!

Absolutely brilliant!! - thanks!

Dreyfus was a long running gag, though oddly he came back from self inflicted oblivion via his ray gun to fall into Clouseaus grave followed by a dive into an iced up swimming pool 😅😅

Some of the best character deconstruction on film

Herbert Lom was fantastic!

One of the funniest men to ever be in movies ,, and underrated,, when he was banging his pistol ( thinking it was his lighter) and shot his nose off it made me roll

Masterclass scripting and acting.

passed away for many years but never fail to make me laugh...

Then Dreyfus marries Maria Gabrielli and becomes the stepfather of Clouseau’s kids..

32:08 "Its me!" "I know!" **fires gun** 😂😂😂😂

I wonder if, Herbert Lom and Peter Sellars would crack each other up? I'd love to see the blooper reels.

So funny and Herbert Lom was a brilliant actor. He was excellent in the series The Human Jungle.

Herbert Lom played a multi-lingual fixer in Scoop. His Swedish was very funny. Very talented actor.

i kind of want that gun lighter that dreyfuss has. it's actually really cool

And you almost forget about the rake... Mr Dunning, Mr Kruger your first patient is here...

perfect

there's funny, then there's Pink Panther funny - a level of funny other comedies strive for.

Herbert was a genius in this part.

lol was a comedy genius 😂😂

I cracked up once under similar circumstances and in the end I just collapsed in a heap laughing my head off for about 4 hours! Best 4 hours I ever had! Then I pulled myself together, bought myself a ham sandwich and shoved it in my ears! I was all right then.

Until we meet again and the case is SOLVED😂😂

2:15 Dreyfus is cracking up, even before a doorman, two customers, and a Cossack die around Clouseau.☹️

Our loss is heavens gain 😅😅😅😅

It’s too bad you didn’t include the sequences involving Lom reprising the Inspector Dreyfus role in “Son of the Pink Panther” with Roberto Begnini and Nicoletta Braschi. Those were equally hilarious!

Dreyfus was actually funnier than Clouseau.

Love the pink panther movies chemistry between herbert and sellers were brilliant

The actor did amazing job with dryfu

How come in Revenge of the Pink Panther they never explain how he's still alive after what happened to him in the previous film!?

When Peter Sellers became Inspector Clouseau the more he became an idiot the funnier he became. No one could do what he did.

At 16:46 in this compilation, something has been removed; in the film, a couple of people see Clouseau and Dreyfus and become aghast because it looks like the two men are having sex. Don't understand how this could've been left out, because it's hilarious. I finished watching this highlight reel but during the rest of it I kept wondering if something _else_ was going to be cut. Leaves a crummy feeling. Annoying, really.
