The Edmonton Film Society is battling the winter blues with a series of classical comedies on Mondays at the Royal Alberta Museum, starting with the 1964 favorite A Shot In The Dark. In this popular sequel, the hero of the story Inspector Clouseau is convinced that a man is innocent for murder, although evidence is showing quite the opposite. This misunderstanding, of course, leads to a whole bunch of funny situations that you only find in quirky old comedies.
