Director Blake Edwards died yesterday of pneumonia. He was 88.
Edwards directed films such as Days of Wine and Roses, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 10 and Victor/Victoria.
I suspect however that when most people think of Blake Edwards they think of his collaboration with Peter Sellers in six Pink Panther movies made during the 1960s and 1970s. You can never go wrong with Inspector Clouseau.
Edwards is survived by his wife, actress Julie Andrews (to whom he was married for over 40 years) and their five children.

Innkeeper: " No."

Clouseau: "Nice doggie."

bites his hand
Clouseau: "I thought you said your dog doesn't bite?"
Innkeeper: "That...is...NOT my dog."
One of the funniest scenes ever!
I start laughing just thinking about it.
Also, "Is that your minkey?"

First Leslie Nielsen and now Blake Edwards.
Truly the world is a colder darker place without them.
It is a pity that Frank Drebin and Inspector Clouseau never worked a case together.
Then again film stock is notoriously flammable and prone to exploding.
So it is perhaps best for the safety of comedy patrons everywhere they never met.

And Peter Gunn! Not the greatest of TV detective shows, but it was cool, dark and had a great theme song.
