Earlier today, we embedded the Turner Classic Movies memorial montage for 2010 and noted that it was assembled too early to include anyone who dies the last few weeks of this year. John I. Carney informs me (thank you, John) that TCM updates this montage as necessary. Apparently, the version now running occasionally between films on that channel includes Blake Edwards. TCM has always been a class act.
They're going to run a Blake Edwards fest on December 27 consisting of Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, The Pink Panther, Victor/Victoria and Operation Petticoat. If you don't want to wait that long, they're airing, as already scheduled, A Shot in the Dark on Monday morning. That's a very funny film, probably better than any of the five they're running on 12/27. Not that they aren't all pretty good.
