| Andrews And Edwards Worked With Each Other Several Times |
The great director Blake Edwards passed away late Wednesday evening after losing a battle with a recent bout of pneumonia. His wife Julie Andrews and other family members and friends were at his side in the hospital. He was 88.
Edwards was one of the most influential comedy filmmakers from the late 60's through to the 80's. He's best known for directing Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther Film Series
But he also worked with Audrey Hepburn in the romance classic Breakfast At Tiffany's, And then there's the drama Days of Wine and Roses, in which Jack Lemmon and Lee Remmick give two of the best performances of their careers The comedy 10 that made Bo Derek a household name and the obsession of Dudley Moore's mid-life crisis Victor Victoria (for which he got an Oscar nomination for the screenplay), The Party," "The Great Race," "S.O.B.," and "Skin Deep" among others
He was also behind the TV series "Peter Gunn"
My parents loved the Pink movies with Sellers and I have fond memories growing up watching them together
