Well, I just listened to the first CD of Kevin O'Brien's dramatic reading of G.K. Chesterton's "The Blue Cross". Kevin's voice for Valentin, "the head of the Paris police and the most famous investigator of the world", reminded me of inspector Clouseau. I almost laughed out loud when I heard it. When I think of Clouseau I invariably remember the scene from "The Pink Panther Strikes Again". Here's the dialogue:
Clouseau: Does yer dewg bite?
Inn Keeper: No.
Clouseau: Nice Doggy
(bends down to pet a dachshund - it snarls and bites
him) I thought you said
yer dewg did not bite!
Inn Keeper: Zat... iz not my dog!
Kevin's voices for the other characters are equally amusing. The set of 12 CDs is available from the American Chesterton Society.
