Here's an email from Bob Levinson, a fine writer and true gentleman:

Hi, Ed...

A few quickie thoughts--

The Blake Edwards obits all stress his comedy work. He was equally brilliant in the crime genre, in radio, TV and film, e.g., Richard Diamond, Private Detective," "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar," "The Lineup," "Peter Gunn," "Experiment in Terror"... At an MWA-SoCal event at the Friars Club, where we presented Blake with a lifetime achievement award, he made a point of stressing that, while he produced and directed, he considered himself a writer above all ... He couldn't make the NY Edgars ceremony in '02, to accept an honorary award, so Bill Link and I had the pleasure of presenting the Edgar to him at his home (and me the added enjoyment of sitting back and listening to those two icons trade war stories) ...

I've mentioned before Vince Keenan's TREMENDOUS fresh take on "On The Waterfront." I believe this will be not only read but discussed for years to come. It's that original and fresh. Now you can read it for free on the Film Noir Foundation's website.
