Review of Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) by Matt M — 12 Jan 2013

One of the most iconic performances by Hepburn, who has enough comedic charge and elegance to suit Edward's story of the absurdity of the make-belief presence in a high society lifestyle, as the character attends to all major parties in the hope of finding a rich man who will marry her, and the elegance of Tiffany's, a jewellery where she says she can find enough order and glamour to control the madness that sometimes surrounds her.

The film is also well packaged by a good musical score, led by the unforgettable Moon River, and while this film is infinitely less biting than the original novel by Truman Capote, it is nevertheless a charming film.
