Summary: The Best Movie on Earth!
Review: To see "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is to step inside the world of glamour. I absolutely think that this is the best movie on earth, since the acting is magnificent! I can't really say that this movie embodies one emotion or feeling, since it portrays too many to count. Mickey Rooney did an absolutely hysterical job of portraying Mr. Yuniyoshi, the photographer upstairs. The romance intertwined in the story also it terrific. One caution for Truman Capote fans: If you are looking for an exact interpretation of the book, you won't find it here. In my opinion, the movie is better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW! Best movie ever!
Review: Wow it is, to this vedio I am speachless. A magnificent performance by Audrey Hepburn and George Peppar. This is a movie that you and your girl or boy friend want to watch over and over again! This is a story about a lonely girl in the city of New York, a story about a girl who has many sorrows within herself. Superficially she is gay and happy, but when you get to know her, she is very complex with strong emotions and many worries. Like Sally Tomato said:"This is a story that could break the heart." This movie left me ponder well after the movie is over. A movie that will huant you for ever, the great emotions, hearts, sorrow, sadness, and fun will touch your heart. I recommand this movie very strongly. Please buy this movies, take it home and share it with your wife, children. :-)

Summary: Breakfast at Tiffany's is magnificent...
Review: What a wonderful film. Breakfast at Tiffany's is definitely a movie of mixed emotions, but it is completely uplifting. Audrey Hepburn is always enchanting as the free spirited and endlessly loveable Holly Golightly, and George Peppard is top notch as the writer who is meant to be with her. The movie is full of memorable lines and scenes, but the party scene is the one that is often deservedly remembered. It is one of the best (if not THE best) party sequences in movie history! END

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Gorgeous! Film you can really watch multiple times!
Review: Film starts with Audrey Hepburn stopping by Tiffany & Co. in the morning at 6am, having her breakfast pretzel and coffee while standing in front of the Tiffany store, looking through the window and staring at the beatiful Tiffany's jewellery. She feels calm, relax, joyfully walking back to her apartment. Story begins with her new neighbor....

This is a truly gorgeous romantic film, a real classic. A film really you can watch many many times without getting bored. Since 1961, I'm sure lots of people agree and have been watching this film again and again and again during this 40 years. Oscar winning music, beautiful theme song 'Moon River' meets with gorgeous romantic story.

"Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the band
My huckleberry friend, moon river

And me..."

Such charming may wonder you ever find a counterpart from nowadays. Overall, buy it own it watch it feel it and re-watch it.

Summary: One of the best chick flicks ever
Review: I loved Breakfast at TIffany's. I had read about it from all of the gossip girl books and eventually became curious about the movie. I figured the movie would be good but I didn't expect to fall in love with it as much as I did. It is one of the best romantic comedy, chick flicks I have ever seen.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cold Transfer not a welcomed edition to my Breakfast Tray!
Review: "Breakfast At Tiffanys" is the vintage romance classic based on the novel by Truman Capote that pits the elegant Audrey Hepburn (Holly Golightly) against stoic George Peppard (Paul Varjack). He's a would be writer, being kept by a rich, married lady. She's the lost soul runaway who's abandoned her husband and family after her beloved brother dies while serving his country in the military. This is vintage Capote. Even with the glaring omissions to the text and Mickey Rooney's garish, over-the-top performance as a Japanese landlord, this is still one of the all time great date flicks.
Unfortunately, Paramount Home Video hasn't done a very vintage job on this DVD. They've presented the film in its original VistaVision widescreen process (anamorphically enhanced) and remixed the sound to 5.1. That's a start. But the visual characteristic of the transfer on this DVD is digitally harsh, suffering from edge enhancement, aliasing, shimmering fine details, pixelization and digital grain.
Colors are generally well balanced but there are several instances where flesh tones appear a little bit on the yellowish side. Contrast levels are weak with black levels usually registering a dark gray instead of black. There's an excessive amount of chips and scratches in the opening title sequence as well as some general color fading associated with film stock of this period. As for the 5.1 surround, it's strident and not very natural. Dialogue is forward sounding. The Henry Mancini score is nicely presented, particularly Moon River, but over all this is a mono soundtrack with very few scenes that engage any of your other speakers.
NO EXTRAS! What a shame!
BOTTOM LINE: This is vintage Hollywood presented at bargain basement quality. Decide for yourself. I'd wait in the hopes of a complete digital restoration.

Summary: Good for ALL ages!
Review: Because of the fact that I'm only 17 years old, I just got around to watching this movie. I'd always heard about it but I never knew what it was about. And, to be quite honest, I didn't even think about watching it because I thought it was in black and white! (Eh, I didn't know when it was made!)

My dad made me watch it this past weekend and I fell in love with it! Unlike most romantic comedies made today, both main characters are broke. It doesn't follow the mold of: poor/average girl falls for rich guy blah blah blah or the other way around. It was funny (Mickey Rooney's character was HILARIOUS!) and sad (when Holly finds out about Fred) and sappy (the last 20 minutes) all at the same time.

This movie is great for anyone, whether you saw it the first time around or you're a "late viewer" like me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fascinating ......they're after the same rainbow end
Review: I love this film.From the first scene when the yellow cab stopped with Holly alighting,having her breakfast in front of Tiffany's to the very last scene when Holly & Paul reconciled and kissed in the rain...

Simply marvellous piece of work. With the flawless performance from Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. The unique mood of the movie.And my fave song "Moon River". Who can forget the part when Holly sitting by her window plucking the guitar strings and singing...."Moooonnn River...." Great adaption from Truman Cropte's book with many magical touches and refinements. It's about a free-spirit girl Holly's struggle in Life,her fear of Love and commitment, she didn't even think she own her nameless 'cat'. Paul is a struggling writer who actually a 'kept-man' by a rich lady. Fate brought them together,first as neighbours to friends and eventually lovers. They were soul mates who needed each other and are made of each other....they are after the same rainbow end.

The idea was refreshing....esp.doing things that each have never done:- Strolling down New York street in the morning, stealing, visiting the Library and of course Tiffany's. Simply amazing, fantastic and romantic .

The best part about it was both Holly and Paul were practical people with dark secrets and not really perfect human beings and it make the story more realistic but not losing the romantic fairy tale feel.

This film is one of the best in movie history. It touches my heart my soul with scenes with the perfect combo of laughter,sadness,ironic,truth,secrets,romance,life,etc....... Timeless and Unforgettable......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice little place...........................................
Review: I have wanted to see this movie since I found out what Tiffany's was....and I completely agree it also calms me down right away...

Is she or isn't she? That is the question that everyone seems to keep asking. Is the kid (Holly Golightly) a fake or a real fake? She's a real fake. Holly Golightly is a very stylish girl, alligator shoes, long fancy dresses, and shades. It can be determined that she's a call girl based on the amount of money she receives to go in the restroom, and the amount of male companions she has. Not to mention her own reference to playing the field. Holly is a very irrational young woman. As Paul Varjack rings the bell in hopes of using her telephone and instant friendship is forged. Paul a writer and a kept man himself with piercing blue eyes glimpse what the inside of Holly Golightly is all about.

"We are friends aren't we?" Holly asks Paul who she associates with the looks of her young brother who is in the Army that she misses dearly. As the two partake in a friendship that opens the eyes of the other one it is apparent that love is in the air. But can Holly Golightly in her urgency to find a rich husband overcome her case of the "reds?"

This is another movie that captures the power of LOVE!
