BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S is one more reason to fall in love with Audrey Hepburn in this this sparkling and, at times, poignant comedy about a free-spirited young woman from the hinterlands redefining herself in New York City. Based on a Truman Capote story, it also features the timeless melody "Moon River" by Henry Mancini. Blake Edwards's adaptation of Truman Capote's classic novella is ideally cast with Audrey Hepburn in the role of Holly Golightly. The free-spirited gamine darts about New York, feted by wealthy men drawn to her megawatt charm and elegance, hoping that the party will never end. After "shopping" in front of Tiffany's window, she meets aspiring writer Paul Varjak (George Peppard), and they begin a platonic friendship. "Sponsored" by an older woman (Patricia Neal) whose interest in the young man is more than literary, he can identify with her experience better than most, taking it upon himself to protect her from the worst aspects of city life. But she seems to need little protection from such friends as incarcerated mob boss Sally Tomato (Alan Reed), who pays her to carry messages to Sing Sing. With her infectious joi de vivre, she helps Paul break through a paralyzing case of writer's block. But when the genial Doc Golightly (Buddy Ebsen) appears in New York in search of Holly, the sources of her gossamer lifestyle suddenly become clearer. Edwards's lighter-than-air romantic comedy, set in a fantasy New York, rides on the irresistible charm of Hepburn at her peak, as well as a memorable score by Henry Mancini. Although George Axelrod's screenplay is as different from the original story as George Peppard is from the young Capote, the film succeeds on its own terms. The film was changed extensively from Capote's novel, in which the character of Paul Varjack (played by George Peppard onscreen) was gay. Breakfast At Tiffany's Reviews: "...BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S still exerts an enduring charm, not least because of the poise and waif-like beauty of the bewitching Hepburn..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
-- Tom Dawson, Total Film "...[The film] remains one of the most attractive screen portraits of New York City from the early '60s..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...Ravishing..."
-- Geoffrey Macnab, Sight and Sound "[T]he 1961 Audrey Hepburn classic....There is no denying the charm and grace of her performance, nor the exquisite cut of her Givenchy wardrobe."
-- Dave Kehr, New York Times "[Hepburn stars as] a dazzling and stylish young woman whose life is both mysterious and charming, yet heartbreaking."
-- Danny Richelieu, Widescreen Review 4 stars out of 5 -- "Audrey Hepburn truly made the role her own with a canny combination of naivety and sass..."
-- Jane Crowther, Total Film Breakfast At Tiffany's Video Breakfast At Tiffany's Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Audrey Hepburn at her best!!!
Excellent classical movie for those that are looking for the non-traditional love story. No this movie takes you through several ups and downs and ins and outs of a REAL to life relationship.

George Peppard and Audry Hepburn perfect together in this movie. I had seen it a long time ago but didn't recall how good it was.
Overall you can't go wrong with this DVD and I know you'll love it. Just the song "Moon River" brought back great memories for me.

This is one of the films like vintage wine, it only gets better with time!! She didn't give the cat a name, but she herself was known by many names. She didn't want anyone to own her and put her in a cage, but she was already in cage she created herself because she was afraid to admit that people do fall in love and do belong to each other. Luckily she finds that out in the end.......Don't miss it!!

Audrey Hepburn is great in this movie! It shows how a person really can grow in a short time. "Moonriver" is a terrific song and Audrey really brings it to life.

Soviet Russia might have been a time of communist oppression, but splendidly sleazy films were still created by filmmakers like Yakov Levi. This selection of films from the director might leave audiences red-faced, but they won’t be able to stop watching SHAMELESS, TASTELESS, THE KILLER BRA, MATROSHKA DOLLS OF DOOM, VANITY INSANITY, THE GHOST OF MARQUIS DE SADE, and PENISELLA I, II, III, & IV.
