No film better utilizes Audrey Hepburn's flighty charm and svelte beauty than this romantic adaptation of Truman Capote's novella. Hepburn's urban sophisticate Holly Golightly, an enchanting neurotic living off the gifts of gentlemen, is a bewitching figure in designer dresses and costume jewelry. George Peppard is her upstairs neighbor, a struggling writer and "kept" man financed by a steely older woman (Patricia Neal). His growing friendship with the lonely Holly soon turns to love and threatens the delicate balance of both of their compromised lives. Taking liberties with Capote's bittersweet story, director Blake Edwards and screenwriter George Axelrod turn New York into a city of lovers and create a poignant portrait of Holly, a frustrated romantic with a secret past and a hidden vulnerability. Composer Henry Mancini earned Oscars for the hit song "Moon River" and his tastefully romantic score. The only sour note in the whole film is Mickey Rooney's demeaning performance as the apartment's Japanese manager, an offensively overdone stereotype even in 1961. The rest of the film has weathered the decades well. Edwards's elegant yet light touch, Axelrod's generous screenplay, and Hepburn's mix of knowing experience and naiveté combine to create one of the great screen romances and a refined slice of high society bohemian chic. --Sean Axmaker

- Breakfast at Tiffany's DVD
One of the best movies ever. Though the ear made it necessary to make only veiled refences to Holly Golightly and "Fred" the writes, true means of living, it mskes it no less delighful.
It is a An all around fabulous story!

Rating: - NEW VERSION DVD review....
I'm not about to preach about the merits of this classic movie....this is for readers who want to know if they need to throw down for yet another version?YES, the movie looks the best so far and by a noticeable amount. the BONUS features on disc 2 bring along all the best from the last edition with about an hour of new ones....all very interesting (the 20 minutes on Henry Mancini was my favorite). I picked it up for $7.50 at Target and was very very happy.If you are a fan of the movie....upgrade..if ... Read More
Rating: - A Dream Maker, You Heart Breaker
We know they will never see the end of days together, but we all are rooting for them and their dreams and the moment for Capote has captured the essence of so many of us in these two characters. One can view this film one hundred times and still have a tear drawn by this unconvential and unsentimental love story.Everyone has a Huckelberry friend, just waiting around the bend.
