Blake Edwards was an American film director, screenwriter and producer.

Edwards' career began in the 1940s as an actor but he soon turned to writing radio scripts at Columbia Pictures. He used his writing skills to begin producing and directing, with some of his best films including: Experiment in Terror, The Great Race, and the hugely successful Pink Panther film series with the British comedian Peter Sellers. Often thought of as primarily a director of comedies, he was also renowned for his dramatic work, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Days of Wine and Roses. His greatest successes, however, were his comedies, and most of his films were either musicals, melodramas, slapstick comedies, and thrillers.

In 2004, he received an Honorary Academy Award in recognition of his writing, directing and producing an extraordinary body of work for the screen.

爱德华兹的职业生涯始于 1940 年代的演员，但他很快转向在哥伦比亚电影公司撰写广播剧本。他利用自己的写作技巧开始制作和导演，他的一些最好的电影包括：恐怖实验、伟大的种族，以及与英国喜剧演员彼得·塞勒斯合作的非常成功的粉红豹电影系列。他通常被认为是喜剧导演，也以他的戏剧作品《蒂凡尼的早餐》和《葡萄酒与玫瑰的日子》而闻名。然而，他最大的成功是他的喜剧，他的大部分电影要么是音乐剧，要么是情节剧，要么是闹剧喜剧，要么是惊悚片。

2004年，他获得了奥斯卡荣誉奖，以表彰他为银幕创作、导演和制作的非凡作品。
