Blake Edwards, R.I.P.

The director of such film classics asBreakfast At Tiffany’s, thePink Panther series, The Party andVictor/Victoria has died at the age of 88.

I think thatThe Party is one of the funniest films ever made and seeing it on the big screen as a tadpole was a key moment in the development of my sense of humor. In short, you can blame some of my Sheckiness on Blake Edwards.

Birdie num-num anyone?
