The Pink Panther similar to ...

Hey guys, I was curious if anyone has seen To Catch a Thief and the original Pink Panther with Peter Sellers?

I thought Pink Panther had such a similar concept.

In TCaT we have "The Cat"
In TPP we have "The Phantom"

The costume party at the end of Pink Panther was oddly familiar.

I watched The Pink Panther before I saw To Catch a Thief, but when I finally saw To Catch a Thief for the first time I was like "Wow, the Pink Panther borrowed so much from this." Or "They spoofed to Catch a Thief."

Anyone else make any connections?

YES. It becomes very obvious at the gala costume party at the end(s)....

To Catch a Thief put me to sleep. I'll take this movie and Charade over To Catch a Thief any day.

Just rewatched Pink Panther today and Charade yesterday. Dig those two. Have to rewatch to Catch a Thief and see if you have a point.

Oh, I love a picnic. Acres and acres of sand and all of it in your food.

I recognized your signature line right away. It's from In a Lonely Place, another favourite of mine.
