00:00Those opening credits, Blake Edwards' production.

00:04This guy knows how to make the funniest movies I've ever seen.

00:07It was so exciting. You could just tell it was going to be a hit.

00:14We sunk a truck!

00:15You go from Operation Petticoat to Breakfast at Tiffany's to The Pink Panther.

00:19It's like he could do no wrong.

00:21And I remember watching this huge screen and thinking,

00:25What is my dad doing in the back row with Mary Poppins?

00:31I was driving and a very beautiful car came into the Meridian.

00:35And I looked across and Blake rolled down his window and said,

00:38You're Julie Andrews? And I said, Yes, I am.

00:43It was pretty instantaneous. He was dangerously attractive.

00:50It's a fascinating pairing. I remember as a kid finding out they were married.

00:53I was like, What? How is that possible?

00:55She's from Sound of Music and he's this comedy guy?

00:58She is a remarkable human being. She really, truly is.

01:01Blake was working to take Julie out of that mold that everybody had put her in.

01:06She'd really been stuck in Mary Poppins for a year.

01:12Collaborating with your spouse is extremely nerve-wracking.

01:16Underlying that incredible charisma and charm and talent.

01:20He had a very dark side to him.

01:22Comedy people are an interesting breed. They have problems with depression.

01:25Even though he looked so happy, there was a lot of sadness.

01:28It was just too much. I couldn't handle Hollywood.

01:31In a way, he wrote out his demons.

01:33He said, That's it. I'm just going to write. And they had to buy it if they don't.

01:38First thing people think about when they think of him, they think of the Pink Panther films.

01:41But I actually think of the range.

01:43It's intangible. It's perfect. And it's just...

01:46Comic genius.

01:47Controlled insanity.

01:49My director.

01:50One of those things like Lightning Strike.

01:52Dude knew how to put on a show.

01:56That's just movie magic right there.
