Review of Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) by Jess L — 06 Feb 2013
Starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, the movie follows the lavish lifestyle of the ditsy Holly Golightly. Moving into her apartment building, the down-on-his-luck writer Paul immediately grows fond of Holly's quirky personality.
Considering each other simply friends, Paul comes to one of Holly's wild parties and they journey through New York together. However, although Paul is falling for Holly, his circumstances seem to prevent it and besides she is oblivious to his affection.
Slowly they fall farther apart with Holly's upcoming marriage to a wealthy man. In the end they do reconcile, embracing in the rain (of course). Holly has finally found a man who truly loves her and does not use her.
The love story is an interesting one and Hepburn gives a lively performance. Henry Mancini's "Moon River" is a wonderful addition to this film. I would say however that this is not my favorite film with Hepburn because it is certainly hard to top Roman Holiday.
