	The Films of Blake Edwards
		Blake Edwards is the grandson of silent screen director J. Gordon Edwards, who made many of Theda Bara's films.
		Edwards has superimposed the two here, so that the building of suspense in the dance sequence corresponds to suspense of watching the mysterious murderer execute another one of his crimes.
		Edwards has done a lot of dramas in recent years, and his dramatic skills are just nowhere as good as his magnificent comic skills.

		Blake Edwards is a moviemaker, usually associated with sophisticated, zany comedies, often scored by Henry Mancini.
		In Marshal of Reno, Edwards acted alongside Gabby Hayes and 11-year-old Robert Blake, but the closest Edwards came to a starring role was in 1946, with Strangler of the Swamp.
		In the late 1960s, as Edwards' marriage was dissolving and he was in psychotherapy, he commented in an interview that actress Julie Andrews "is so sweet she must have violets between her legs".

	Blake Edwards Biography at Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Edwards had written the screenplay for that film, although he did not fill that task on three of his early directorial successes: the Cary Grant classic, "Operation Petticoat" (1959); the exceptional "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961): and the more serious "The Days of Wine and Roses" (1963).
		Edwards followed this with the biting satire of Hollywood, "S.O.B." (1981), most notable for Andrews first topless scene which finally laid to rest her saccharine screen image, and "Victor/Victoria" (1982), based on a 1933 German film about a woman pretending to be a man performing in drag.
		Edwards had written and directed for radio, including "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" (NBC, 1949) which was revived for TV on ABC from 1950-52.

	TRIBUTE TO BLAKE EDWARDS
		Edwards’ gender-bending 1982 comedy, VICTOR/VICTORIA, starring his second wife Julie Andrews as a woman who pretends to be a male transvestite, was a critical and box office hit, earning Blake French and Italian Best Picture honors and his only Oscar nomination (for best adapted screenplay).
		Edwards and Andrews were only nodding acquaintances when Julie heard that Blake had speculated in public that her popular success was due to her having “lilacs for pubic hair.” A few weeks later she sent him a lilac plant—and for the past 34 Novembers she has given him lilacs for each of their wedding anniversaries.
		Blake negotiated a three-picture deal with them, including “10” and S.O.B. FERRET disappeared down a development hole, but “10” was a critical and box office smash and S.O.B. (Edwards’ slap at Paramount over its treatment of DARLING LILI) appealed to a number of critics, moviegoers and awards bodies.

		One might wonder why director Blake Edwards has clung to the "Pink Panther" series through hell, high water, the death of star Peter Sellers and costly legal battles with its releasing studio.
		But with so little to depend upon in today's world, each new installment has become like a visit with old friends who are often annoying and frequently boring, but are missed in some strange way when they're not around.

		The Oscar citation pays homage to Edwards “in recognition of his writing, directing and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen” during his 60-year career.
		Edwards is best known for the 1961 classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the acclaimed drama The Days of Wine and Roses, the sex farce Victor/Victoria and his hilarious string of Pink Panther detective spoofs.
		When comedian Jim Carrey introduced Edwards at the Oscars, the filmmaker careened across the stage of the Kodak Theater in a wheelchair and crashed through a wall in an entrance worthy of the bumbling Inspector Clouseau.

		Edwards broke new ground with Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which was adapted from Truman Capote’s novel.
		He is a great director, but not in the restrictive 'high' art sense of the term; his films blend both high and low by delving into the depths of the sordid while executing that depth with meticulous film artistry.
		Even though Edwards is particularly expert at comedy, and takes old forms such as slapstick well into the modern era, not all of his films are comedies, for instance Days of Wine and Roses (1962), Wild Rovers (1971), and The Tamarind Seed (1974).

		Edwards’ credits include such comedies as “Operation Petticoat,” “The Great Race,” “10” and the “Pink Panther” movies — “but I hope the academy is not rewarding me for just comedies,” remarks Edwards, who wrote or co-wrote most of his films.
		Edwards, 81, who continues to write scripts, comes from a family of movie people — his grandfather directed silent films and his father was a production manager.
		Over the years Edwards gained the reputation of a battler with studio bosses, which was the genesis of his film “S.O.B.” He appears proud of the accusation.

	Blake Edwards
		For Byron, Edwards is “the last classicist, which means the last traditional sexist.” (8) In many of the later films, the male hero is forever coming to terms with his sexual urges, and this can be difficult to watch.
		Edwards' comedy is in part that of an old tradition, one that stretches back to Aristophanes and is typified by farce, obscenity and sexual metaphor.
		Edwards' films may seem as if they belong to another era, but what makes them so passionate and different is that Edwards is acutely aware of his position and is prepared to take the past forward into another time no matter what the consequences.

	Director Blake Edwards will get honorary Oscar \| Blake Edwards \| In the News \| Movies \| Entertainment Weekly
		Guess Hollywood has forgiven Blake Edwards for ''S.O.B.'' The director of that 1981 take-no-prisoners Hollywood satire, as well as such memorable films as ''Breakfast at Tiffany's,'' ''10,'' and the ''Pink Panther'' movies, will be receiving an honorary Oscar in February, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Thursday.
		The 81-year-old writer-director, who has never won an Oscar (he was nominated in 1983 for the screenplay of ''Victor/Victoria''), will be cited ''in recognition of his writing, directing, and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen,'' the Academy said.
		Edwards hasn't directed a movie since 1993's ''Son of the Pink Panther,'' one of his many ill-fated attempts to continue the franchise after Sellers' death, this one starring an actor then little-known in America, Roberto Benigni.
