Breakfast at Stiffany's
Or
A Death in the Dark
Blake Edwards, best remembered for showing off Mary Poppins’ rack, has died of complications of pneumonia at the age of 88. Edwards was a master of screwball raunch, making Peter Sellers a star in The Pink Panther in the role that just about ended Steve Martin’s career and giving Deep Blue Something’s star-crossed lovers the one thing they got with Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Other cinematic achievements included having his wife Julie Andrews play a woman pretending to be a man working as a female impersonator in Victor Victoria, based on Bea Arthur’s memoir, setting the cinematic template for unappealing dork scoring an uber-babe with Dudley Moore and Bo Derek in 10, adding The Days of Wine and Roses as a metaphor for self-destructive alcoholism to the lexicon, and showing the world what Andrews looked like topless in the film industry satire S.O.B.
