MARTHA: BEHIND BARS
Herald rating: * *
Cybill Shepherd stars as Martha Stewart in this tepid drama which recreates the events leading up to her trial and imprisonment. In one scene Martha's fellow cons give her a sweater. Yikes. (2005)

THE PINK PANTHER
Herald rating: * * *
Peter Sellers is Inspector Clouseau for the first time, supporting David Niven's Sir Charles Lytton, an upperclass jewel thief known as the Phantom, who's after a huge diamond known as the Pink Panther. This was intended as the start of a series for the Phantom, but it was Clouseau who became the focus instead. Good, but not as funny as its sequel A Shot in The Dark, released three months later. (1963)
