Whenever this is on TV I take time out to record and watch it. Of course the surroundings are dated but, the story is not. Audrey Hepburn (who, by the way, was taken from us way too soon) plays her part wonderfully while George Peppard is adequate. Mickey Rooney is hilarious, even though his part as a Japanese man is Politically incorrect for us now. Patricia Neal scores as the rich "patron" who supports Peppard as he works on his never-finished novel. Even Buddy Ebson (Beverly Hillbillies Jed Clampett) is present as an ex-husband of Holly Golightly. It's just a solid story of love and love lost and refound and, it ends just the way we want it to. The novel itself has a darker ending and Hollywood decided it needed the rainbows at the end to make it profitable. Haven't met anyone who didn't like this movie. Recommended.Read full review

Breakfast at Tiffanys is a sweet movie from my past, I still with a big smile on my face ... beautiful Audrey Hepburn. A cat, named cat and music of of sound of Moon River, love a little tears from heart. Great story telling, all around. Great movie to watch.

I bought it for a young friend with that charming bubbly irresistible prettiness and life that Audrey Hepburn embodies. She had read it was the actress' most outrageous movie. Many were as exciting and fun: Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Charade, Love in the afternoon, Funny Face, etc. Try and see her in War and Peace for a change of pace. Her singing of Moon River gets an Oscar for best song also best score for the movie. Audrey was nominated for best actress. George Peppard is perfect as her adoring caring loving patient interest. Buddy Ebsen, Mickey Rooney and Tiffany's all add preciousness. Needless to say my friend loved it. Blake Edwards directed, Henry Mancini wrote Moon River, Truman capote wrote the novella. Just enjoy.
Let me start by saying that I am a chick who does not like "Chick Flix" Everyone says this is one but I still love it. Holly is a crazy, unguided & lost lil girl. Determined to marry for $$. Fred- George P. is sweet and a caring man with his own set of troubles.. The best of friends, you know how that goes. It is a great look back at the 60's I love the style and feel of this classic. Holly sings MOONRIVER and it makes u want to cry. Do I cry when I watch this? yes... you might cry too! Buy it so you can have this in your collection.
Most girls/ladies I know absolutely love this movie. It is not just a chick-flick about relationships, it has such well written and acted comedy, men love it too. Audrey Hepbern does a remarkable job of making Holly Golightly come to life. If you're not a fan of hers, you will be after this movie. She sings Moonriver unforgetably. Blake Edwards directs the brilliant cast and hits each beat perfectly. Mickey Rooney deserve mention as well for the apartment manager! One of the best movies--find out why everyone loves it.
