R Icsa S s6s r i w°/Ia ym ICsa ui S" cs . .. ....................... ....... Dear Colleagues, Writers and directors, working in the kind of collaboration that dignifies both of our profes- sions, stand together once again in our official identities as the Writers Guild of America, west and the Directors Guild of America, to present the Preston Sturges Award in recognition of a career achievement in filmmaking. Our honoree is Blake Edwards, the third artist to be so selected, preceded by Richard Brooks and Billy Wilder. How proud we are to have been in their presence and to be working at the same crafts! Somewhere, Preston Sturges is smiling; surely Blake Edwards is a talent after his own heart. Consider Blake's body of work, outlined in detail elsewhere in this publication. It is the journey of an instinctive artist learning his craft. A journey through the latter days of the legendary Hollywood studio system, writing low-budget westerns and romantic comedies, then directing his own scripts. Then the gradual development of a personal style, a "touch." Then, in 1963, his script (with Maurice Richlin) and his direction of The Pink Panther,and film buffs throughout the world knew that they had another stylist to enjoy. (Remember the spinning globe of the earth, and Inspector Clouseau inadvertently touching it, and spinning himself right to the floor?) After that, Blake's work, unaffected by the storytelling fads of the moment, showed the maturing of a master. He developed into one of those rare creative minds who holds true to his unique talent and to the cinematic tradition of the great era of visual comedy of Chaplin, Keaton and Harold Lloyd, and later, Preston Sturges himself. Still in mid-career, he has been a writer and director for a few years short of five decades. It is a great pleasure for us, as Presidents, to salute Blake Edwards now, a distinguished member of both of our Guilds. We honor Blake with the Preston Sturges Award, the only joint award we give. Blake honors us with the quality of his work. Sincerely, Del Reisman Gene Reynolds President, WGAW K President, DGA Y film was made under the subsidiary Allied Artists banner. Edwards' career as a film writer and producer was underway. In the late 40s he started writing for radio after an episode similar to the one that started him out as a screen- writer.

Edwards had coauthored a number of scripts with his friend Richard Quine who directed "B" features for Columbia. When Quine was elevated to bigger projects, Edwards moved into his position. It was, however, in the late 50s and early 60s that Edwards cemented his reputation as a director with a series of hits with big name stars: Operation Petticoatstarring Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, Breakfast at Tifany's starring Audrey Hepburn; and Days of Wine and Roses starring Jack Lemmon. He did not write or originate those projects though they showed his stylistic versatility and his ability to direct actors. After the success of those films, Edwards made the tran- sition to being writer/director of major films starting with The Pink Pantherand A Shot in the Dark in 1964. At this point in his career he collaborated as a writer on all his films. Although Edwards speaks of his earlier writing collaboration with Richard Quine as the "truest" collaboration he was involved in because the two of them would sit in the same room "and kick The Pink Pantherand he didn't under- the credited screenwriter or story writer, stand it at all but he said, 'I made a deal he did significant rewriting of the origi- with you and if this is what you want to nal scripts: "To become an accredited do, go do it.'

  • Music from Peter Gunn
    “The Music from ‘Peter Gunn’”--Henry Mancini (1958) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Mark A. Robinson (guest post)* Henry Mancini Henry Mancini (1924-1994) was the celebrated composer of a parade of song standards, particularly remembered for his work in television and film composition. Among his sparkling array of memorable melodies are the music for “The Pink Panther” films, the “Love Theme from ‘Romeo and Juliet’,” and his two Academy Award-winning collaborations with lyricist Johnny Mercer, “Moon River” for the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” and the title song for the 1962 feature “Days of Wine and Roses.” Born Enrico Nicola Mancini in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, Henry Mancini was raised in West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Though his father wished his son to become a teacher, Mancini was inspired by the music of Hollywood, particularly that of the 1935 Cecil B. DeMille film “The Crusades.” This fascination saw him embark on a lifelong journey into composition. His first instrument of choice was the piccolo, but soon he drifted toward the piano, studying under Pittsburgh concert pianist and Stanley Theatre conductor Max Adkins. Upon graduating high school, Mancini matriculated at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, but quickly transferred to the Julliard School of Music, concentrating his studies in piano, orchestration, and composition. When America entered World War II, Mancini enlisted in the United States Army in 1943. Assigned to the 28th Air Force Band, he made many connections in the music industry that would serve him well in the post-war years.

I was interested in elucidating the ways in which this reality, which formed the basis for such fiction, was transformed by the writer in his/her work and the reasons behind the transformation. Since my own professional activity has been related to the sciences, I chose to study the novels of Michael Crichton, a commercially-successful writer whose credentials and practice qualify him as an author of professional-based fiction as defined by Michel Petit in his 1999 article “La fiction à substrat professionnel: une autre voie d'accès à l'anglais de spécialité”.
