The above is wrong.  David Niven was one of the principals in "The Pink
Panther", which was made some time in the early 1960's.  Peter Sellers
played Clouseau in this movie.

It is interesting to note that the later films associated the 
name "Pink Panther" with Clouseau himself, when it really was the 
title for the famous diamond which was stolen in "The Pink 
Panther" and "The Return of the Pink Panther," as well as a 
nickname for the famous jewel thief.  Also, I am surprised that 
the movie "A Shot in the Dark" gets comparatively little 
attention from the newsgroup; it is a hilarious 1965 film which 
followed the further adventures of Jacques Clouseau and which 
again starred Sellers in the lead role.  

As far as I know, the only people to play Clouseau were Sellers
and Alan Arkin ("Inspector Clouseau").
