I remember as a kid being bitterly disappointed when this movie came on TV and was not The Pink Panther Show, the animated series featuring the animated panther character who first appeared in this film's credits -- the eponymous "pink panther" is actually a diamond, the McGuffin at the centre of the plot. It was a particular disappointment as it's rather languidly put together: substantial time is dedicated to setting up the characters and putting the thieves' plot in motion, and it's only the last third or so where it really shines. The heist is wonderful but the end is glorious.
