Zusammenfassung:"'Blake Edwards: Film Director as Multitalented Auteur' is the first critical analysis to focus on the dramatic works of Blake Edwards. Best known for successful comedies such as 'The Pink Panther' series with Peter Sellers, Blake Edwards wrote, produced, and directed serious works in radio, television, film, and theater for seven decades. Although hit films such as 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s' and ‘10’ remain popular, many of Edwards’s dramas have been forgotten or marginalized. In this unique book, William Luhr and Peter Lehman draw on original research from numerous set visits and personal interviews with Edwards and many of his creative and business collaborators to explore his dramas, radio and television work, theatrical productions, one-man art shows, and unproduced screenplays. In-depth chapters analyze non-comedic films including 'Experiment in Terror', 'Days of Wine and Roses', and 'he Tamarind Seed', the theatrical feature film 'Gunn' and the made-for-television film 'Peter Gunn', the musical adaptation of 'Victor/Victoria', and lesser-known films written but not directed by Edwards, such as 'Drive a Crooked Road'. Throughout the book, the authors apply contemporary film theory to auteur criticism of different works while sharing original insights into how Edwards worked creatively in disparate genres and media using composition, editing, sound, and visual motifs to shape his films and radio and television series."
