Trivia
An animated Pink Panther was created for the opening credits because writer and director Blake Edwards felt that the credits would benefit from some kind of cartoon character
Claudia Cardinale could not speak English, so Princess Dala’s dialog was dubbed by 20-year-old Gale Garnett.
Blake Edwards employed multiple cameras to catch the improvisations he encouraged Peter Sellers to do.
In 2010, the Library of Congress selected The Pink Panther (1963) for preservation in the National Film Registry.
Blake Edwards enjoyed working with Peter Sellers on this “Panther” movie more than the other ones.
