And it has a pervasive air of desperation that leads to the inevitable masked-ball finale in Rome, with fireworks going off, Sellers in a suit of armor bumping into Cleopatra, and a pair of cat burglars dressed as gorillas-presumably with the hope that a lot of monkey business will perk up a tired Panther...
