- What is What Did You Do in the War Daddy? / Shot In The Dark about?
WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE WAR, DADDY?, 1966, MGM Repertory, 116 min. Director Blake Edwards is at his most raucous in this classic service comedy, a perfect complement to his earlier OPERATION PETTICOAT. James Coburn and Dick Shawn play soldiers determined to have fun in an Italian village during the final days of World War II, regardless of irritating interruptions by the Nazis.
A SHOT IN THE DARK, 1964, MGM Repertory, 101 min. Blake Edwards’ follow-up to THE PINK PANTHER gave both director and star free reign to unleash a non-stop barrage of pratfalls, sight gags and linguistic nonsense. Everything seems freshly minted, from Herbert Lom’s hysterics as Chief Inspector Dreyfus to Burt Kwouk’s first appearance as Cato. What makes Peter Sellers’ Inspector Clouseau so endearing is the resolution of a thousand years of cross-channel rivalry in the form of a Brit impersonating an irresistibly clumsy Frenchman.
