Summary:

While known for cinema classics such as, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,”, “Days of Wine and Roses” and the “Pink Panther” series, the iconic director, screenwriter and producer Blake Edwards was also a sculptor and painter, loving husband to Julie Andrews and devoted father. Featuring never-before-seen archival video and stills, Blake Edwards: A Love Story in 24 Frames offers an exploration into the filmmaker’s complex life and genre-spanning career, as shared by filmmakers and family. Edwards’ story is further illuminated through interviews with devoted family members, fans and those who have worked with him, including wife Julie Andrews, Paul Feig (Freaks And Geeks, Spy, Bridesmaids), Rian Johnson (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery), Rob Marshall ( Chicago, Victor/Victoria-Broadway), Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille), film historian Leonard Maltin and more —as well as stars who knew Blake personally—including Bo Derek (10), Leslie Ann Warren (Victor/Victoria) and Robert Wagner (The Pink Panther). Born in 1922, an artistically minded young Blake Edwards began his Hollywood career as an actor, but quickly pivoted to writing and directing. While Edwards redefined slapstick comedy through a lens that still resonates with today’s directors and actors, he was influential across many genres, including dramas, detective films, musicals and even Broadway theater productions. See how his life changed when he met Andrews and how their creative partnership informed films such as “10,” “S.O.B.” and “That’s Life!” Edwards is remembered fondly by those who knew him. Or as Julie Andrews herself puts it, “I don’t think I ever met a man as charismatic, as wicked, as funny, as vulnerable, as angry at times, as adorable and sweet as Blake. Packed with humor, love, and personal insight, Blake Edwards: A Love Story in 24 Frames takes us through a filmmaker’s personal journey, highlighted by celebrated partnerships and a powerful love story.
