Listen Later

This week, we discuss two films from American director Blake Edwards.

The first is 10 (1979), starring Dudley Moore, Julie Andrews, Robert Webber and Bo Derek. It was considered a trendsetting film at the time of its release and became one of the year's biggest box-office hits. The film follows a middle-aged man who becomes infatuated with a young woman whom he has never met, leading to a comic chase and an encounter in Mexico.

The second is Days of Wine and Roses (1962), adapted from the 1958 Playhouse 90 teleplay of the same name. The film features Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick, Charles Bickford and Jack Klugman. It depicts the downward spiral of two average Americans who succumb to alcohol use disorder and attempt to deal with their problems.
