Amazon.com essential video:
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

There is a lot of love for this movie; that is clear. `Breakfast at Tiffany's' is usually heralded as a classic film, and has definitely proven to be Audrey Hepburn's most popular movie role. Truth be told though, this is really nothing more than a romantic comedy; a very good one mind you, but nothing more. In fact, don't hate me for saying this, but `Breakfast at Tiffany's' reminds me of the type of film I could see Kate Hudson or Jennifer Lopez doing in a year or two. What makes this film ...

After years of hearing what a classic this film is, I was disappointed after finally watching it. The story is unbelievably absurd at times (If Audrey Hepburn's character really grew up on a farm in the mid-west and came to New York just a few years before, no amount of speech and voice training could make her sound like that!) Also, Holly Golightly seems way too sweet and innocent to be a prostitute.
Nevertheless, the film is worth watching to see 1960's New York City looking so clean and ... Read More

Breakfast at Tiffany's was one of my mother's favorite movies. Many times, late at night, you could find yourself outside her TV room listening to her croon the words to Moon River along with the TV. Many times I'd catch the end of the movie, with Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard and that cat. And the rain. Can't forget the rain. I thought it was all 60s and sentimentality.
Then I rented it for myself. I had to see what this classic was all about. I was surprised at how racy it ... Read More

I just saw this movie for the first time, and it was delightful. I also read the book. The stories follow very different paths, but I can't pick one over the other as a favorite. Cheers to Truman Capote for coming up with character as charming as Holly Golightly.

One of my first memories is Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's.I remember falling asleep to her sweet angel's voice.She was my earliest love.
Since then I have watched this dvd so many times.I'm not too shy to say I kiss the t.v. screen whenever I see her angel's face.
My favorite scene is where she gets out of bed and puts on a man's white shirt,her soft silky hair down her back.I wish it was one of my shirts she put on.
And I wish she had daughters who I could admire today. ... Read More
