Gunn is an American 1967 mystery film directed by Blake Edwards, and starring Craig Stevens. It featured the same lead character from the 1958-1961 television series Peter Gunn, and a Henry Mancini score but the characters of Gunn's singing girlfriend Edie Hart and Police Lieutenant Jacoby were played by different actors.
[edit] Production
Edwards originally asked William Friedkin to direct the film but Friedkin thought William Peter Blatty's script was awful.[clarification needed][1] Edwards directed the film himself. Blatty was impressed by Friedkin's honesty and asked him to direct The Exorcist. The film was originally titled[2]—but then only advertised as—Gunn...Number One!; no sequels followed.
