Blake Edwards

Blake Edwards (1922-2010) is recognized throughout the world as a filmmaker whose name is synonymous with elegance and polish. Whether the form be social satire or slapstick, film or – for the first time with Victor/Victoria – stage, it is that unique talent that is best described as the Edwards savoir-faire. He was one of the few film directors to break the sound-of-laughter barrier worldwide and has been an international favorite since the 1961 release of his enchanting Breakfast at Tiffany’s starring the late Audrey Hepburn. The 49 films Mr. Edwards directed, many of which he wrote and produced, have grossed more than one and one-half billion dollars at the box office.
