Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's
Holly Golightly should've been more screwed up and Paul should've been gay, just as Capote wrote those characters. Still, there are gems in this flick: Moon River, earrings that sparkle for miles, Givenchy gowns, Cat. And then, Mickey Rooney spoils it all with his monumentally ill-conceived portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi.

Harper Collins published my novel "The Gorgeous Girls". My feature film screenplay "Sideshow Bandit" has won several awards at film festivals. I have a new feature film screenplay called "A Girl Like I" and it's looking for a producer.

Loved your take on this classic!
Plus they changed the ending in the film to make it more palatable to moviegoers.
Your review alone makes me want to watch the movie! Really well done!
Agree with this. Hepburn doesn't quite convince as the messed up runaway. And Rooney in yellow-face, yikes. But it still has style and some cute comic turns.
Unfortunately, I've never watched this movie before. I should check it out. Excellent review!
