  So did I, and I say so quite unapologetically, I think fun is what Blake Edwards has always been about; Breakfast at Tiffanys, Bedazzled, the Peter Sellers collaborations like The Party, The Pink Panther series, The Great Race... I have enjoyed every one of his films and really don't think I'm putting him on a pedestal he doesn't deserve to be on, he is truly one of the Greats
  As for "10" it was a huge commercial and critical success on its release that has admittedly not aged as well as some other Blake Edwards films, but I like(d) it. Suggest you compare "10" with Dudley Moores film "Arthur" (Dir: Steve Gordon) to see how BAD (in the non-Michael Jackson sense) a film can really be...

      While I never thought much of the TV "Threes Company" I do like John Ritter as an actor, I think he's clever and funny. I have a video of a very "B" movie called "Channel Adventure" that he stars in that is one of my guilty pleasures
      Humor is really the most difficult thing to do; I think that's why Chaplin was such a star and Lucille Ball is still a star (and Bob Hope was with CBS for 60 years) there's just no-one to replace them
      That's why I'm so passionate about Blake Edwards, so many funny films that can be easilly dismissed as fluff, but I think it goes to show what a vacuum exists

        there is a costar who plays off Ritter's humor. He was a nuerotic in the sitcom spin city.

        This combination Is in another really funny film, clever funny, not slap you in the face funny. Well it's called Sink or Swim-I've provided a link.

        Memorable: Ritter shows up dressed to the hilt in costume---Not a costume party though...When one of his many lady friends sets his house on fire. John Ritter plays a good drunk.
