A sneak preview screening of “Blake Edwards: A Love Story in 24 Frames,” a new documentary directed by Danny Gold and set for release on PBS on Tuesday, will take place tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Sag Harbor Cinema.

Julie Andrews, Edwards’s spouse and frequent artistic collaborator, will attend the screening and take part in a question-and-answer session afterward. Of Edwards, Ms. Andrews has said, “I don’t think I ever met a man as charismatic, as wicked, as funny, as vulnerable, as angry at times, as adorable and sweet as Blake.”

After starting out as an actor, Edwards moved into directing, helming such films as “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Days of Wine and Roses,” “The Pink Panther,” “10,” “S.O.B.,” “Victor/Victoria,” and “That’s Life.”

The documentary, part of the American Masters series, features never-before-seen archival video and stills as well as interviews with family members and those who have worked with Edwards, including Lesley Ann Warren, Bo Derek, Rob Marshall, and Patton Oswalt.

“A big part of our year-round retrospective, ‘The Worlds of Julie Andrews,’ was devoted to the creative partnership between Ms. Andrews and Blake Edwards,” says Giulia D’Agnolo Vallan, the cinema’s founding artistic director. “It is a joy to be able to host the sneak preview of a film that is a celebration of that partnership. The fact that part of the documentary was shot at Sag Harbor Cinema will make the screening even more special.”

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
