Customer Reviews of Breakfast at Tiffany's
Audrey grows up Where Roman Holiday was Audrey Hepburn as a girl on the verge womanhood, in Breakfast at Tiffany's Audrey is full grown. <
> <
>Breakfast at Tiffany's has become what Truman Capote is most synonymous for. The centers around Holly Golightly. Holly lives off the goodness of older men. Or as she puts it, off the money they give her for tips. (I am sure in the book she did more than that but in the movie, she never sleeps with the men.) <
> <
>Into her life comes Paul (George Peppard), a would be writer. He has his first book published but not it was not a great success. He is writing his follow-up with the support of his female benefactor (Patricia Neal) (who he does sleep with). <
> <
>Paul becomes entranced with Holly and the become fast friends. Holly's life becomes complicated, first by the arrival of her first husband (Buddy Ebsen) and then a scandal involving a prisoner she visits and brings back "weather reports" from, Sally Tomato. Paul discovers that his feelings for her are more than friends. <
> <
>The other two principal featured characters are her harried upstairs Japanese neighbor (Mickey Rooney - yes that's right) and Cat, a stray cat she takes care of. <
> <
>The other star of the film is "Moon River" the Oscar winning song by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. <
> <
>This film was the first breakaway hit for Blake Edwards and became his signature film. <

Super sophistication
The early 1960s were a sophisticated time (as opposed to our meaner and more jaded times of today), which was reflected in many of the movies that were made then. The center of life and thought seemed to be in the cities, and the city mouse was king. Many movies tried to capture this (THE APARTMENT, A MAN AND A WOMAN, come immediately to mind), as did this movie as well.

<
>Audrey Hepburn is Holly Golightly, a Manhattan latcher-on-to-rich-men coquette (one hesitates to say call girl because sex seems absent), and George Peppard is her neighbor, a writer who's a "kept" man himself. The movie is about their gradually falling in love, though Hepburn continues to look for that rich man who will give her the life of luxury she craves. After trials and tribulations, they end up together.

>Hepburn is too light and "innocent" in her role - one expects more of a wordly-wise, rougher-around-the-edges character to be Holly. And the picture as a whole is all too neat and worked out: it goes on too long getting to the resolution we knew was going to take place almost from the start. The final scene in the rain is a classic though, borrowed many times in other movies (for example, THE GOODBYE GIRL). Peppard is very good, too: he's very subdued with just the right feel. And that sophistication I talked about earlier is always present. Of course there's MOON RIVER, too. Not a bad movie - worth a watch.
Breakfast at Tiffany's: A delightful pleasure
So much has already been said and written about this movie that I don't feel I can add or detract from those previous reviews except to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and have qualms about recommending it to anyone.
