zimmer
I was wondering about one thing - when Clouseau is checking into the motel in Germany, not only does he mispronounce "zimmer", but the clerk also does so. Why´s that? Incompetence & laziness in not finding out how german words are supposed to be pronounced...or was the clerk simply mocking Clouseau? The actor was english so he likely wouldn´t know about this stuff. But if it was a joke, most non-german viewers would´t catch it anyhow which in turn would render it rather ineffective.
