The first film is much simpler in tone and narrative than the others, and is considered by many to be a comedy classic. It introduced the protagonist, Sir Charles, with Clouseau as a secondary character, and took place mostly at a ski resort where Clouseau is trying to prevent the theft of the Pink Panther diamond, unaware that his wife is Charles' partner-in-crime. The last film in the series is the sequel to the prequel, as it were. The cast from the previous film returns, and there has been talk of a third film in the new series.
