Anyone else love Breakfast at Tiffany's?

I think I got the damn apostrophe wrong....

I have watched that movie so many times............love it. Flair, wit, sophistication. Audrey Hepburn was so RIGHT for the part.

Sigh.......and the great cat........

Hepburn in that flick makes me hot.

Damn near does me, too....

If I were a woman, I might turn too bunny.

turned it off after the 1st 15 minutes due to the racism.

ye110man does have a point there....I was too distracted by Audrey to notice, however, the first time I saw it, long ago.

I can't remember it......

Problem with lots of films though - and sexism and such.....

I 'specially likes it when she turns out to be a hillbilly girl.




......the rats????.........

Oh - of course! Mickey Rooney's character!!!!

That IS awful...

I must be the only person in the World who doesn't like Breakfast at Tiffany's. I didn't find Holly Golightly an appealing character at all. I found her mercenary, selfish and shallow.

Do I interpret the movie correctly in believing that BOTH Hepburn and George Peppard are prostitutes? How did the book end, differently from the movie?

In the book, as I recall, Holly goes off to Africa.

Some time later, they find a mask - just like her - signifying she is still living in the wilds of the dark continent.

Yes, they are both high class prostitutes.

It is interesting, I clearly simply edit out the racist bits in my mind.

The other bit I cannot stand is the "You can't tame a wild thing" speech.....

The movie is so about style and surface....love it...and so cynical - except for the weepy tacked on ending (which I love, too, so captured am I by the film by that time!)

The deepest character, as far as I can recall, is Peppard's sugar mummy - she is SO classy!

It got me in the first few minutes. Like you, Deb, I can't remember the racist parts--I;ll have to watch it again, although those parts will probably spoil it for me.
Moon River is haunting and beautiful, capturing that poignant wanderlust that can be so heartbreaking.

Well so would you if Edith Head was in charge of your wardrobe! Only she could take a sock puppet and a fag and spin them into Hollywood tinsel!!











bollocks she could! pig's ears and silk purses!

Edith Head was class personified.

Deb querida, I didn't like it. Am I allowed on this thread? In fact, I had such a strong negative feeling about it that I flee whenever it's on tv, so I haven't seen it in ages.

If memory serves (and frankly if it does, it doesn't serve well enough these days to warrant a tip), I didn't like anybody in the movie. Moi! An Audrey Hepburn fan. I can deal with unlikeable if the characters are interesting, but I thought the characters were shallow and not all that interesting. Also, I didn't like the striped effect of Holly Golightly's hair. What was that?

Lovely, I thought.....

Yes, the film is all surface - that is, I think, the point.

The flat unfurnished. The cat un-named. Tiffany the sanctum sanctorum.

I prefer breakfast at McDonald's to Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's cheaper, and the little diamonds don't break your teeth.
