[edit] Weasel Words

Questionable whether the critical remarks here belong in an encyclopedia article.

Agreed, but this is criticism, rathern than fact.

Specialising in comedies, some critics consider he should have stopped around 1968 in terms of quality,

Weasel words - what critics?

although some among his biggest hits were yet to come (10 and Victor/Victoria).

Critics are almost unanimous in their appreciation of S.O.B. - a brilliant satire on the film business.

Confusing wording - what other side?

His post-Peter Sellers stretch of the Pink Panther films are widely considered indicators of a serious decline.
