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.

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.

“Days of Wine and Roses” What a heartbreaker of a movie. Is there a woman more beautiful than Lee Remick? I don’t think so!

Blake Edwards films will forever be linked to Henry Mancini soundtracks just as Sergio Leone westerns are associated with their Ennio Morricone soundtracks.

‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ is awesome. Starred one of the most beautiful actresses to ever grace the silver screen, Audrey Hepburn.

He had a good, long life and entertained millions. RIP, Mr. Edwards.

That's quite a track record.

And here's the lounge/rock-album tribute:

Loved his screwball military comedies such as “Operation Mad Ball”, “What Did You Do In The War, Daddy”, and “Operation Petticoat” ...

"Publicist Gene Schwam says . . . "

It seems that the only job of these publicists for aging Hollywood stars is to announce their client's death.

“A Shot in the DarK’ introducing Inspector Cleuseau to the world was his best effort. Classic comedy.
