 Between 1964 and 1993, nine Inspector Clouseau (or related) films  would be released, although _Inspector Clouseau (1968)_ (qv) and the  movies made after Peter Sellers (qv)s death are mostly not  considered canon. All but two would carry the "Pink Panther" title,  but only four of the films actually deal with the Pink Panther  diamond itself: this one,  _Return of the Pink Panther, The (1975)_ (qv),  _Trail of the Pink Panther (1982)_ (qv) and  _Curse of the Pink Panther (1983)_ (qv). The reason they still kept  The Pink Panther in the title was because it had become synonymous  with inspector Clouseau.
