The Pink Panther
Incompetent yet determined Inspector Jacques Clouseau is tasked with solving a high‑profile murder at a soccer stadium while tracking down the missing Pink Panther diamond before the thief escapes justice.
“Pardon His French.”
Synopsis
When the coach of the France football team is killed by a poisoned dart in the stadium at the end of a game, and his large, expensive ring containing the Pink Panther diamond disappears, Chief Inspector Dreyfus assigns the case to Jacques Clouseau, the least capable police inspector.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 839+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.4× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
