BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS

Breakfast at Tiffany’s was released in 1961 by Paramount Pictures and became one of the greatest movies of all time. It was based on the book "Breakfast at Tiffany’s" written by Truman Capote. The book was released in 1958.

Marilyn Monroe was originally chosen by Capote to play the part of Holly Golightly, but Paramount overuled him and instead chose Audrey Hepburn. Capote was also upset with the major changes Paramount made to the film version of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Breakfast at Tiffanys was directed by Blake Edwards. "The movie is a hybrid. It was meant to be. I'd like to think that just as soon as you laugh, you might well up at the next line."....Quote by Director Blake Edwards.

The music score for Breakfast at Tiffanys was composed by Henry Mancini. The score won two Acadamy Awards. The theme song for the movie, "Moon River" was co-written with lyrisist Johnny Mercer. Moon River has been recorded over 500 times.

Audrey Hepburn recieved a Best Actress Nomination for her starring role. George Peppard played the part of Paul Varjak (Fred).

Editorial Reviews
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 text refers to the VHS Tape edition.
