Breakfast at Tiffany's

In a career that has spanned over fifty years as a writer, producer and director, Blake Edwards has provided audiences with classics in nearly every genre of the cinema. Known primarily for comedies series Pink Panther, Edwards is a moviemaker, usually associated with sophisticate, zany comedies, often scored by Henry Mancini. Other credits include “10” which made Dudley Moore famous and Bo Derek briefly a star, Victor/Victoria, in which he directed Julie Andrews on Broadway, Wine and Roses, A Shot in the Dark, and The Great Race to name a few. In 2004 Edwards accepted an honorary Oscar, "writing, directing and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen." It was Edwards' only Academy Award.
