fanaticusanonymous Even now 57 years after its original release, Breakfast At Tiffany's remains a charming love story between two hustlers of sorts. Audrey Hepburn is not the Holy Golightly that Truman Capote intended, she couldn't be but she was Audrey Hepburn in all of her 1961 glory. Amazing how it still works that Audrey Hepbun touch. George Peppard is gorgeous but impenetrable. Mickey Rooney, unforgivable. Henry Mancini, opportune but. strangely enough the character that fascinated me the most in my latest viewing is Patricia Neal. I would love to see a full movie about that woman. She exudes sensuality and smartness. Blake Edwards concocts a lighter fare from Capote's book and as it happens, it's still very much alive and surprisingly relevant.

arfdawg-1 Plot Holly Golightly is a flighty Manhattan party girl, who expects "money for the powder room as well as for cab fare" for her companionship. She has even gotten a lucrative once weekly job to visit notorious convict Sally Tomato in Sing Sing, she needing to report back to Sally's lawyer the weather report that Sally tells her as proof of her visits with him in return for payment. Her aspirations for glamor and wealth are epitomized by the comfort she feels at Tiffany's, the famous high end jewelry retailer where she believes nothing can ever go wrong. Her resolve for this wealth is strengthened, if not changed slightly in focus, upon news from home. Into Holly's walk-up apartment building and thus her life is Paul Varjak, a writer who Holly states reminds her of her brother Fred, who she has not seen in years and who is currently enlisted in the army. The two quickly become friends in their want for something outside of their current lot. What can i say? This movie is VERY dated. It's slow and vapid and nothing like what I thought it would be. I am shocked it is considered a classic. LOVE Truman Capote, but this movies surely cannot do justice to his book.It's really thing and boring and nothing seems real. Even for the sixities. And they call her a socialite but she's sort of more like a high class hooker. So's George Pepard.

grantss Holly Golightly is a superficial, ambitious, money-orientated New York socialite. Paul Varjak, a writer, moves into her building and they become friends. Ultimately Paul falls in love with Holly but will she reciprocate or follow her ambitions?Great movie, with Audrey Hepburn in her definitive role. Warm, sweet and quite emotional with some iconic moments. My favourite would be Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River" while sitting on the fire escape.

Bella This is one of my favourite movies and the lead of the film is one of my favourite actresses, Audrey Hepburn. The most interesting character of the movie by far is the main character, Holly Golightly. I would describe her as crazy but in a captivating way. She will not name her cat, she claims until she finds a place that makes her feel as wonderful as Tiffany's does.Holly doesn't know what she wants, what she needs, or even who she is. But she carries herself well and seems so classy and sure of herself. As the movie progresses, Holly's character is revealed a lot and goes through very intense and dynamic changes. A lot of people may dislike the characters because of their negative qualities even though many people share them without even knowing it. By the end of the film, you will be full of smiles, tears, or both.This is a movie that will pull at your heartstrings. Some parts are really light and funny and others are sad and deep. The movie ties Holly's materialistic desires and her deep emotional desires well in a way that viewers are able to follow well and relate to. The music is phenomenal. The acting is amazing, particularly from Hepburn. The settings are beautiful, detailed and authentic. The dialogue and plot are also incredibly entertaining.
