In-depth chapters analyze non-comedic films including \u003ci\u003eExperiment in Terror\u003c/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDays of Wine and Roses\u003c/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tamarind Seed\u003c/i\u003e, the theatrical feature film \u003ci\u003eGunn \u003c/i\u003eand the made-for-television film \u003ci\u003ePeter Gunn\u003c/i\u003e, the musical adaptation of \u003ci\u003eVictor/Victoria\u003c/i\u003e, and lesser-known films written but not directed by Edwards, such as \u003ci\u003eDrive a Crooked Road\u003c/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003eThroughout 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. \u003cp\u003eA one-of-a-kind examination of one of the most influential film directors of his generation, \u003ci\u003eBlake Edwards: Film Director as Multitalented Auteur \u003c/i\u003eis an excellent supplementary text for university courses in American cinema, genres, auteurs, and film criticism, and a must-read for critics, scholars, and general readers interested in the works of Blake Edwards. |
