Publicist Gene Schwam says Edwards died from complications of pneumonia at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica. His wife, Julie Andrews, and other family members were at his side. Edwards directed "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "The Pink Panther" and many other popular films. He also was a screenwriter, producer and actor.

RIP. Thanks for bringing me S.O.B.. One of the funiest flix I have ever seen.

Even better than his Pink Panther movies was “S.O.B.”. Hysterical comment on Hollywood and the film business. BTW, the blond hitchhiker is his daughter.

R.I.P.

I really enjoy those early 60’s pre-hippie movies where everyone is dressed in a suit and tie saying “hip”, “cool” and “come on baby”.

Probably his best directed film was Experiment in Terror A great Film Noir.. Glenn Ford , Lee Remick, Stephanie Powers, and Ross Martin who was the only character in the closing credits. A top notch thriller. And a great story. Blake - Pass the popcorn, God's providing the tickets.

I think the 1960’s were a really great decade up through about 1966. Then things got weird and “earthy” and Marxist. I like a lot of the music from the late ‘60s, but the overall culture and approach to the world took a real nosedive.

The headline is amusing. I had no clue that he had directed “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” although I knew he had a long career and was married to Julie Andrews.

S.O.B. and Victor/Victoria were my favorites.
