A classic rom-com for all the romantic lovers. Funny, sassy and a great movie with Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard.
Directed by Blake Edwards
Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) lives a free, careless life in her small New-York flat. She lives from the generosity of “Sugar Daddy’s” whom she enthralls in all honour. A new neighbour moves in the flat above hers, Paul Varjak (George Peppard) is a writer who has scored success but suffers from a writer block and is kept by 2E (Patricia Neal) a middle-aged unhappily married wealthy socialite. Of course Paul does not remain insensitive to Holly’s charm, although he knows she thirsts for money and he does not have any. He goes to great lengths to make her happy and help her cope with the burdens of life.
Audrey Hepburn performance as Holly is memorable, she embodies spontaneity, carelessness, freedom with an unmatched class.-
George Peppard has no effort to do to have looks, he plays in a held back manner which does not turn into insensitivity.-
The supporting roles are exceptional. Bringing life and enriching the plot such as the sour-tempered neighbour Mr. Yunioshi (no other than Mickey Rooney in disguise) or the salesman at Tiffany’s who keeps his cool as the star couple asks for an object for less than 10 Dollars.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a Blake Edwards comedy, full of rhythm, spirit and where happiness and sorrow blend into the comedy of life.
