The “Lost” Classic Newly Restored
Starring Peter Sellers
Prepare to laugh, when you step back in time for a Mr Topaze movie night and watch the newly restored 1961 classic film.
When I was a kids, I loved watching the old Pink Panther movies starring Peter Sellers as the hilarious Chief Inspector Clouseau.
Mr. Topaze was released a few years before Pink Panther and was also known as “I Like Money.”
An interesting bit of trivia is that this was the first and only time that Peter Sellers received directorial credit for a movie.
The film has been beautiful restored, so that we can all enjoy it now.
I understand why the comedy was a hit back in the day.
