Summary: I Loved Every Minute Of It...
Review: Actually I'm Sharon's 23 year old daughter Lakisha. But I seen this movie once and I fell in love with it and Audrey Hepburn. This is one of those movies that you watch and you feel as if your right there in the movie. I recommended this to all my girlfriends and ofcourse my mom. If you want to see a true love story of how friends can become lovers...this is the movie to watch.

Summary: Classic.
Review: BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S is a delightful, charming romantic-comedy that showcases Audrey Hepburn at her quirky best. Though there will always be debates about which film was Hepburn's best, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S is always mentioned and is probably the film that best captured both Hepburn's talent as an actor and her real life personality. The film also stars George Peppard and growing up in the 1980's it is nice to see what the A-Team's Hannibal looked like as a young man.

I love watching this movie and it is especially fun to watch with someone you love; they don't make many romantic films like this anymore. What more can one say?

Summary: Fred Flinstone is in this movie, too bad Rooney was not.
Review: Yes, Alan Reed, the voice behind Fred Flinstone plays the convict that Holly sees on a regular basis. This is the only movie I know of where Mr. Reed has a part, though probably there are others. I finally got to watch this movie a few months ago when my wife rented it from the library. Had always wondered what the big deal was about, especially since I grew up in NYC during the 1960's and never really saw an Audrey Hepburn flick before. Also have always like composer Henry Mancini's "Moon River". This movie was also mentioned on Seinfeld, the episode where George tried to cheat on his book club by watching the video instead at some strange family's house. The NYC locations, dress, look and feel of that era bought back memories of my own childhood. Being of Asian descent, I am deeply offended by the Mickey Rooney character, Holly's Japanese landlord , a negative totally not PC stereotype with his beady eyes, coke bottle glasses, bucked teeth and phony Asian accent who adds nothing to the story and film. If not for this demeaning, senseless, and insulting character I would have given this movie 5 stars and given it as a gift to my older sister. Hepburn does justice to all the acclaims and George Peppard looks really great in his pre "The A Team" days. Other than that I would also have to say that the wild party is the best part of the movie. The ending scene with the cab ride, Paul, Holly, her cat and the rain is also touching and very warm.

Summary: Dah-ling. . . a cure for the Mean Reds!
Review: I think this more expensive edition is the one with some 8x10 photos from the movie and a copy of the script with Audrey's notes in the margins, I couldn't tell from the product description, you might want to double check with Amazon to make sure.

The book, the movie, the book, the movie . . . I cannot decide which I prefer, it varies with my mood. But the movie, well, Audrey is delicious as Holly Golightly, an independent party girl, running, well, more like taking graceful steps in a fab Givenchy gown, away from herself and her past and into the arms of middle-aged business men to all the chic places in New York.
Then Paul baby, or Fred baby,(played by a way, way pre A-team George Pepard, who is as handsome a fellow as you may see on the screen) depending on who you are, moves into her building, himself a kept man by a cooing, oozy, middle-aged, bridge-playing Patricia Neal, who fancies herself as an interior decorator, although it is merely a hobby, and boy does she stink! You just hope that Paul/Fred doesn't wake up there with a bad hang-over!

There's a great party scence at Holly's apartment, where she meets Rusty Trawler (what a great name!) and Jose something too long to remember. You also get to see a hideous but weirdly comical performance by Mickey Rooney as a horribly stereo-typed Asian guy,Japanese, I think, complete with thick round glasses and buck teeth, I cringe every time he appears, which luckily is not often. There is also a small role for Buddy Ebsen, I think his performance as Doc Golightly won him the later role of Jed Clampett in the Beverly Hillbillies.
Anyway, Paul/Fred and Holly meet, become friends, bonded by their mutual states of being "kept" by others, hang-out in great New York, and then, after Holly sets her sights on Jose and starts to learn how to cook and Paul/Fred starts seriously renewing his attempts to write another book, they go there own ways. In the end, well, I don't want to give it away, but it's a sweet ending, one that made me cry a few tears. All in all a satisfying movie, in which Audrey embodies Capote's Holly.

Summary: A REAL CHARMER -- CROSS MY HEART & KISS MY ELBOW!
Review: Audrey Hepburn is irresistible in this frothy adaptation of the Truman Capote novella. An immediate box-office smash, the film was followed up a scant three hours after its premiere by the sequel, LUNCH AT TIFFANY'S.

Summary: A Real Charmer: Comfort-Viewing At It's Best
Review: The celebrated author on whose novel it was based despised the film version, describing it as "mawkish." The star wasn't much more enthusiastic; she never considered it among her best work. And the reviews were mixed. But regardless of what Truman Capote, Audrey Hepburn, or the critics thought about it, the public adored it--and the image of Audrey Hepburn wearing a black evening dress, nibbling pastry, and window shopping has passed into our cultural iconography.

The film is indeed lightweight stuff. Audrey Hepburn is a New York good-time girl who makes a living by clipping her wealthy escorts for fifty here and fifty there. When she meets handsome George Peppard--a writer who makes ends meet by trading favors with society matron Patricia Neal--can love be far behind? But Audrey's mysterious past and her determination to marry rich, George's status as a kept boy-toy, and their occasionally questionable associates provide plenty of complications to fill out the story.

What makes the film work is the remarkable charm of its two stars. Most of the attention goes to Audrey Hepburn and the film shows her to remarkable advantage: she is a remarkable actress, personality, and beauty, and she works wonders with the ultralight script. But when it comes to charm, George Peppard is no slouch either: the film catches him at the height of his early golden-boy good looks, and he is the perfect foil for Hepburn in both their comic and dramatic scenes. Mickey Rooney's excessive performance as Yunioshi aside, the supporting cast is also very entertaining, with Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and Dorothy Whitney all give enjoyable turns. The film looks great (make sure you get the widescreen version), the score (which includes "Moon River") is excellent, and director Blake Edwards keeps everything moving at a pleasant pace. This a great film to cozy up with on a cold night--romantic, entertaining, and as comforting as a cup of hot chocolate. Recommended.

Summary: Can you say "romantic"?
Review: This is one of the first movies with the wonderful Audrey Hepburn in it. She acts as the rich girl, living like a movie star. When a twist comes back to her life, she has to figure out how to hide her past and keep her front to protect her image. She does a great job actind and singing the beautiful "Moon River." This movie melts my heart and makes me want to go and search for a cat in the rain :)
