Review of Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) by Dominic S — 11 Jun 2013

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a lovely and magical love story about a money hunting bachelorette, Holly (Audrey Hepburn), who meets her new neighbor, Paul (George Peppard), and they become close friends. As they become closer, Paul becomes to realize that what he thought was an act Holly was playing is actually her life goal, working as a socialite to meet a possible husband, for Holly, preferably one who is filthy rich.

This film is incredibly romantic and I am very happy I have finally watched it.

I heard that Marilyn Monroe was in the running to play the role of Holly but it didn't work out with her people because they said it would ruin Marilyn's image by her playing someone closely related to a common prostitute. It did work out, for everyone, the role of Holly has Audrey Hepburn written all over it.

This film is titled the way it is because Holly's safe haven in the jewelry store Tiffany & Co. and in the beginning, the audience sees her having a pastry and coffee for breakfast there.

I love this movie. I can't wait to watch it again.

Breakfast at Tiffany's, I give you a 100%.
