Blake Edwards directed some of the great slapstick films of the latter decades of the 20th Century. His films include the Pink Panther series; The Great Race; 10 and Victor/Victoria. He directed Days of Wine and Roses and Breakfast At Tiffany’s when he was barely starting out in his career. Yet this master of the sight gag and pratfall seems to get little respect today and was persona non grata in Hollywood for many years after directing the box-office flop Darling Lili. Tune in to Inquiry tonight, when we speak again with film historian SAM WASSON about Blake Edwards amazing career. Wasson’s book is titled A SPLURCH IN THE KISSER: THE MOVIES OF BLAKE EDWARDS.
