...timing of a really good comedian. When she's warned on her first husband's deathbed to remember that "Life goes on," she barely breathes between the moan, "I guess you're right!" and the quip. "Where do we eat?" Keaton pounces on that line like a hungry cat on a tin of smelly mackerel and in this case the bad timing is the joke...
...Pink Panther begins with an intricate and extremely dexterous jewel robbery, a sequence that Edwards stages with great finesse. The Pink Panther is a priceless jewel, and Clouseau must find out what happened to it. His major suspect-who, needless to say, is probably innocent-is the suave cat burglar Sir Charles Litton (Christopher Plummer), a character amusingly and lovingly modeled on Gary Grant in Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief.

Examples: key parts of a report on lead poisoning were drafted by a chemical company scientist; a subcommittee on dog-and cat-food standards was chaired by a pet food company executive; an aerospace company vice president headed the academy's aeronautics and space board. Such panels occasionally did include "public interest" representatives, but they had little influence. "Industry was pretty much calling the tune," says University of Minnesota Environmentalist Dean...
...period. The narrative, so far as there is one, describes Emily's odd, intense relationships with her new guardian, with her lover Gerald (a natural leader who founds a commune), and Hugo her pet, a curious animal with the body of a dog and the face of a cat that seems to suggest the general mutation of the world, including the human race...
