The Inspector Clouseau cartoons were uneven, but the good ones are very good indeed and this is one of the top three or four in the series. In this one, a vampire and his monumentally dim assistant (I suspect that he's an idiot studying to be a moron and not having much luck with the process) are trying to get the best of Clouseau. Clouseau, not the brightest penny himself, comes off as a Rhodes scholar by comparison. Unusually, the dialogue is as entertaining as the sight gags, a quality the best of the series share in common. If you can only see one Clouseau, make it either this one or Plastered in Paris. Recommended.
