A GREAT director. Along with Stanley Donen, Richard Quine and a few more, he revitalised the genre of comedy in the 60s. And he also made some wonderful dramatic films and even a western ("The Wild Rovers")!
Rest in peace. He will be missed, but his films, thank God, are there.
My condolences to his wife, the great Julie Andrews, and the rest of his family. -

The very first Peter Sellers movie I saw was also the first time I had ever heard of Blake Edwards. That movie was RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER (co-starring Christopher Plummer as a rather swashuckling Sir Charles "the Phantom" Lytton). To me, it was a laugh-riot. As were most of the other movies he did later on.

Works of underestimated comedic genius.
I offer my heartfelt condolences to his long-time wife, Julie Andrews, and the rest of his family. And, I thank Mr. Edwards, himself, for all the great movie-memories that still drive to me giggling at the most unpredictable times and places. -

I just now found out about this.
I thank him for the hilarity of The Pink Panther movies and The Pink Panther cartoon character as well. (According to IMDB,Blake wrote 12 of those cartoons).
Ironically,I watched The Pink Panther cartoon this morning in the 6:00 hour before sunrise.
I thank him also for your other great films as well.
RIP
