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

This movie does not age well so it really isn't a classic that I will be recommending to future generations (unlike My Fair Lady.) It's not the prostitution that bothers me but the main character's not at all charming behavior. She's very tedious and pretentious despite being played by Audrey Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn was wonderful but not all her films were successful. I bet James Dean would have been tiresome too if he hadn't died while he was ahead. Unlike Elizabeth Taylor (and her modern day ...

If you haven't seen this movie, then what are you waiting for? It's a classic and is worth your time.

The item arrived in good condition, however, the description claimed that it was in brand new packaging, when in fact it was a new cover, with new shrink wrap --which anyone can do, and the art card was so generic! And to top it all off, the DVD was scratched.
There is just no way that this was a new DVD.
On a good note, it plays well and it arrived in a timely manner and it was inexpensive.

Firstly, I must say I am a fan of Audrey Hepburn but I did not buy her turn as Holly Golightly, for even one second of screen time. Audrey Hepburn, was a waifish beauty and all I could think was would men really be going this crazy for her, as they did in the movie.
Elegant and pretty? Yes, but this is NOT what the character needed to be. The character was supposed to be kittenish sexy, a true idea of a man's view of a goddess even. Audrey, although beautiful does not fit this bill at all. Her ... Read More

There are a lot of things to just love about this movie. It's one of the best romantic comedies ever made, IMO. So what makes this movie so appealing? First and foremost is Audrey. The camera just loves her. Look for the shot of Audrey playing Moon River on a balcony slightly out of focus. I don't think I've ever seen a more stunningly beautiful shot of a woman's face in any movie ever. Then you have the opening and closing of the movie, incredibly romantic images w/ Moon River in the background. ... Read More
