I thought his best movie was S.O.B. with Richard Mulligan. That was also the movie with Julie Andrews' topless scene.

Richard Mulligan was fantastic as Custer in "Little Big Man".

Victor Victoria is my fave ...... Leslie Ann Warren was hilarious in that ...... RIP Blake

Mulligan will forever be linked to Soap ! for me .......

I liked Victor Victoria best too.

I always liked Skin Deep.

Although it is probably not on the same level as the ones already mentioned, I liked "The Man Who Loved Women."  I saw many Blake Edwards movies and now realize there are so many I liked, I don't have a favorite.  Along with Ingmar Bergman, Edwards has been one of my favorite directors for quite some time.

I hope he passed away with Bo-lero playing in the background.

I loved the Pink Panther movies, but my all time favorite was The Great Race with Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon, Ross Martin, Larry Storch, Dorothy Provine, Keenan Wynn....my family watched that at regular intervals for years, and we still do occasionally.

Lemmon's dual role in that movie (Professor Fate and the drunken prince) was a classic...and the giant pie fight was a landmark in cinema!

IMO one of the most fun movies ever made.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059243/

Never saw that one, but Larry Storch sure was funny in a cameo role as a long bearded Indian guru in S.O.B.

Richard Mulligan played a director who tried to save a wholesome family film  -- starring his wife as a wholesome family actress -- by reworking it as a softcore porn film. It was misunderstood by a lot of people. It really wasn't about her topless scene, it was about the nasty workings of Hollywood.
