Blake Edwards' name is so often associated with farce, it's easy to forget that the director followed 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's with a pair of chilling, sure-handed dramas. And after the sobering Days of Wine and Roses (1962) and the unfairly neglected thriller Experiment in Terror, few could have anticipated that he would become synonymous with The Pink Panther's broad hijinks. In tonight's feature, a kidnapper extorts bank teller Lee Remick for thousands of dollars and holds her sister for ransom. Aided by Henry Mancini's ace soundtrack and Philip Lathrop's crisp cinematography, Edwards takes full advantage of the film's San Francisco setting — almost as well as Hitchcock did in Vertigo.
