Review: The playgirl, Holly, lives a fairly wild life. she want to be free and so anything she wants. The man above her apartment,a gold digger and writer, becomes fascinated with this lost woman. He's ready to make sacrifices for her, but she wanted money more then love. Throughout the movie he's waiting for her to finally choose. This movie is very funny at some scenes and is fairly sweet and touching.

Summary: All that is great and wonderful in life...
Review: I won't waste your time with a long pointless review this movie is great and wonderful and should be in every home collection. One note perhaps a more spectacular DVD release could be in order. Some commentary mabey or something of sort would have been nice (a tribute to audrey hepburn perhaps?) But the picture and sound quality on this DVD quite exceeded my expectations.

Review: this is probably one of audrey hepburn's best roles. the movie is a little silly and outdated, one of those in between old hollywood and real movies, but it's a classic. it's a wonderful movie and gets better the more you watch it. and come on, paul varjak without a shirt on :)

Summary: Warms your heart
Review: Here are 7 good reasons (in random order) to see "Breakfast at Tiffany's":

1. This memorable movie convincingly transports viewers into the jazzy, tacky, and hilarious beatnik era of the early 1960's.
2. George Peppard and Audrey Hepburn have a tender, believable romantic chemistry, and they are both gorgeous to look at.
3. Holly Golightly is one of Hepburn's finest roles. In her performance, Audrey captures all of playgirl Holly Golightly's contradictions: Holly is worldly, yet naive. She projects the insouciance of a swinger, but underneath she longs for a home and family. Holly appears indifferent to love, yet love is what redeems her. Hepburn's performance is perceptive, sensitive, and captivating. She IS Holly Golightly.
4. The achingly beautiful, melancholy Mancini/Mercer song "Moon River" and Mancini's lively score.
5. Blake Edward's stylish direction.
6. Audrey's elegant clothes.
7. Last but not least, cat.

These reasons alone will warm your heart and make you forever glad that you saw "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

Summary: Phony facade Holly.
Review: Breakfast at Tiffany's is probably the most famous classic film amongst the younger crowds. Mainly because A) it has Audrey Hepburn in it and B) it's in colour.

Now an explaination for the two star rating. One star is for the music and "Moon River". I simply adore the music. It's the best thing about this film. A second star is for the cat. The cat seemed to be the only character in the film who knew what was going on.

Serious acting critics would hammer this film. The most important line in the film [which Audrey says] is rushed, overacted and looks rehersed. The character of Holly Golightly is a selfish, gold digger, yet she is sugar coated with Audrey's charm. She's a fake, a phony and she uses people constantly throughout the whole film. Audrey was not right for this role. She even said so herself. Audrey wasn't a fake. It's this film which makes her appear so.

As far as the screenplay goes, it's rather confusing. I couldn't make head or tails of Golightly's former husband's significance to the plot other than to make Holly look like an even worse person. And the whole mob involvment was even more confusing. The character of Holly is erractic. She makes desions without even thinking about how it might affect her later. She hurts Paul ["Fred"] because she uses him and he falls for her. It takes Fred to basically tell Holly that she is a big phony and a selfish, foolish girl to her face until she decides to change.

A lot of this film could have been edited. It wasn't very true to Truman Capote's novel either. But, on a surface basis, the film is a wonderful study in 1960s style, as a substance basis, the film is poorly written, acted and edited. Serious film buffs, you can put this on a 10 year waiting list. It's not that important to film history, as much as it is to fashion history.

Summary: Narrow appeal
Review: Breakfast at Tiffany's is a movie that seems untouchable in its high-gloss, 60s stylishness. But apart from the charismatic Audrey Hepburn who is mysterious and elegant as Holly Golightly, and the Henry Mancini soundtrack, facts have to be faced. Breakfast at Tiffany's is not a great film. George Peppard, for all his blue-eyed good looks, has the screen presence of a deep freezer and Mickery Rooney's cameo as the irate Japanese upstairs neighbour is terrible. I would say Breakfast at Tiffany's is a good movie for Audrey Hepburn fans and students of 60s style but unsatisfying for the rest of us.

Summary: Holly Golightly, The New Kid In Town
Review: My "first time" with this magical cinema experience was at age 12. I knew, from the first sound of "Moon River" as Holly Golightly stepped out of the cab in front of Tiffany's, that I was going to like this film. I was completely enchanted by Audrey Hepburn's grace, style and beauty. Several viwings (and many years) later, the final scene still brings a little tear to the old eyes.

This is one of the greatest cinematic achievements Hollywood ever accomplished, and easily Audrey Hepburn's best. Not even the Princess in "Roman Holiday" or Eliza Dolittle in "My Fair Lady" compare to Ms. Hepburn's performance as Holly Golightly in "Breakfast At Tiffany's". A young George Peppard was perfectly cast as her love-interest.

One tiny flaw, not evident at the time, but eventually becoming more and more clear, was the politically incorrect, stereotypical portrayal of Asian Americans in this film. This was not brought to the public's attention until some 25 years later, when it was mentioned in the filming of "The Bruce Lee Story". Similar stereotypes were "cleaned up" between the 1958 filming of "Auntie Mame" and the 1974 musical version "Mame". Times are getting better, making the world a better place for everyone, removing stereotypes and celebrating people's differences. I'm not faulting the producers of "Breakfast At Tiffany's"; in 1961 the world still lived in relative ignorance regarding political correctness.

Summary: One of the most wonderful movies ever!
Review: This is a great movie. Really, trully it is. It's one of those movies you can watch a hundred times over and still get choked up at the end. I know I do. Of course, you know the screen is just going to light up with Audrey Hepburn, but it's made esspecially good with George Peppard, and all those wonderful people. In fact, I can't think of a single criticism of this movie. The music is splendid, the cinema-photgrahy is gorgeous, script is witty, and the plot exciting. At the end, you want Paul and Holly to end up so badly, you're almost tempted to fast-forward the tape- just to make sure they really do.

Annother thing I enjoy about this movie is that no person is really squeeky clean. Paul is having an affair, Holly is jumping from man to man, getting herself in bad situations. In most romance movies, its one person that has the problem, most of of the time never both. It's sort of refreshing to have a more realistic view of people.

Have I mentioned most of everything? Oh yes, the partys. This film shows the most terrific partys, everything in this one large rythym, working like a well oiled machine. You have to see it for yourself.

If you have never seen this movie- quick! run out to your local blockbuster or whatever and rent it. It's calling your name. Can't you hear it? "yooou're naaame! yooou're name!" If you have, don't you want to see it again? Just to make sure Cat gets a name, and Holly and Paul, Baby belong to each other? You had better check. I know I am.
