The recently released documentary, Blake Edwards: A Love Story in 24 Frames, has been met with critical acclaim.

Salon: "The documentary ends with footage from a 2009 exhibition of Edwards’ paintings and sculptures, as well as a poem Andrews reads aloud about her husband. There is certainly no discussion of the director’s last theatrical feature, the execrable Son of the Pink Panther which has Roberto Benigni playing Inspector Clouseau’s son. That is probably for the best. Blake Edwards: A Love Story in 24 Frames is a loving tribute to the filmmaker, designed to prompt fans to reevaluate if not revisit his work."

The Wall Street Journal: "It is also a feast of film clips, from the likes of Operation Petticoat, with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, to 10, with Dudley Moore and Bo Derek (who is interviewed here), to the director’s less successful efforts, among them the World War I musical “Darling Lili” and “Wild Rovers,” whose butchering by the 'extremely disliked' MGM executive James Aubrey (according to the ordinarily circumspect historian Leonard Maltin) sent Edwards into an emotional tailspin." ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 4 Review: Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez Return To Solve Possibly Their Craziest Murder-Mystery at Arconia (LatestLY Exclusive).
