{{Main|Son of the Pink Panther}}
In ''Son of the Pink Panther'' (1993), Blake Edwards made one final attempt to revive the ''Pink Panther'' series, this time by casting Italian actor [[Roberto Benigni]] as Gendarme Jacques Gambrelli, Inspector Clouseau's illegitimate son by Maria Gambrelli, the murder suspect from ''A Shot in the Dark'' (1964). Once again, regular ''Panther'' co-stars return – [[Herbert Lom]], [[Burt Kwouk]], and [[Graham Stark]], and a star of the original 1963 film, [[Claudia Cardinale]]. Although intended to relaunch the series with the blundering Jacques as a lead, ''Son'' failed both critically and commercially and became the final installment in the original Pink Panther series. It was also the final film for both retiring director Blake Edwards and composer Henry Mancini, who died in 1994.
