That's fair enough. For me, The Return of the Pink Panther has a special place in my heart for personal reasons. It was the first Pink Panther film I saw, for one thing. For another, it was viewed as part of a double bill with Condorman on VHS at a friend's house, in early 1985, on a day that will live in infamy, as we'd all been due to see the entire Star Wars trilogy on the big screen at the Palace Cinema in Witney, only for the cinema to go bust and for the screening bonanza to be cancelled. I cannot tell you how crushed I was by that (though obviously I've seen all three Star Wars films many times on the big screen, even though I'd not seen the first film in the cinema at that point in my life). My friend's father rented the films as a consolation.
