This bad boy didn't wanna render or upload to YT! I dunno what was going on with the internets! But here we are!!

I love it when I get wrapped up in these old films and don't know where they'll take me. I loved the beginning of this film, and of course, the ending. WOW. Just blown away. Audrey Hepburn is a delight to watch. I was a puddle by the end, IYKYK, saying I didn't know what it meant, but I did hahah. I was just too shook by the events regarding a cat. haha! Give that cat an Oscar! Honestly. I Dear Diary'd you guys at the end, with my thoughts, since I had so many feels!

All in all, I loved this film, but I do wish there wasn't yellowface, of course. I'm glad we have moved away from that kind of casting.

Let me know your thoughts and where this one ranks for your fave Audrey films!

Enjoy!

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

The studio wanted to replace Audrey singing Moon River with probably Marni Nixon who sang for Audrey in My Fair Lady. Audrey insisted and said that would only happen over her dead body. So luckily for all of us we can hear her lovely rendition of Moon River. Love her to bits, but I think we can all admit singing isn't her strong suit. Perfect for this one though. Also I love it when a plan comes together 😉

I’m jumping on this asap. I adore her. Audrey was a rare breed shaped by tragedy, hardship, and unlimited compassion. Hard to say if this is my favorite film of hers. I love Roman Holiday, Sabrina, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s equally for different reasons with Charade, How To Steel a Million, and Funny Face close behind. But this movie holds a special place for me because I knew a ‘Holly Golightly’ once. A dear friend who was strong in the outside and broken on the inside. It’s a sweet memory for me and this movie will always make me smile.

So happy you liked it! Getting ready to watch! My fave Audrey movies? We already saw Roman Holiday; Wait Until Dark is my second favorite (for her). And The Children's Hour is also a favorite (although more for Shirely MaClaine in that one!) And for third place? A movie called Two For The Road, from 1967. (Or maybe They All Laughed.....from, like, 1980!). Ok, getting ready. PS: The George Peppard character in the book is gay, which changes the whole dynamic between him and Holly, to say the least! There's actually a Seinfeld episode where George joins a book club but doesn't want to read Breakfast At Tiffanys........so he watches the movie......and then bombs at the book club when he attempts to dissect the "love story", lol. Thinking about it now......Breakfast At Tiffanys is not unlike Midnight Cowboy, in a way! Anyways...... thanks, Ames! See you on the other side!

I like the NYC setting during that time period. Happy ending. Audrey Hepburn is beautiful. Captivating. Like you, I like that ring scene. Kudos to John McGiver (as the clerk) in helping make that scene work. My second watch. (I have watched Roman Holiday several times.) I also liked George Peppard (Paul). I remember him from "The A-Team" TV series (1983-1987). I recognized Buddy Ebsen (Doc Golightly) right away from the two TV series: The Beverly Hillbillies and Barnaby Jones. The yellow face as the one main negative is fortunately overshadowed for me by how delightful the movie. But I am understanding of others who choose not to watch the movie because of the Mickey Rooney Asian.

In spite of my ho-hum remarks on the This Week post, I watched along and found the film to be more substantial then I'd remembered. Could still stand less of the flighty hijinks, but I flowed with the through-line more readily this time. I cited composer Henry Mancini in my other comment, bur failed to mention Johnny Mercer, whose lyrics are so delicious in this song. "My huckleberry friend," indeed. Bravo! I'd forgotten that Blake Edwards directed. I associate him with lighter weight fare, such as The Pink Panther, and various comedies featuring his wife Julie Andrews, such as 10, S.O.B., and Victor, Victoria. Buddy Ebsen (Doc) was a true Hollywood mainstay, whose film career stretched back decades earlier. But viewers of my generation remember him chiefly for two TV roles in the 60's and 70's, Jed Clampett on the farcical country-come-to-town comedy The Beverly Hillbillies, and the title character on detective drama Barnaby Jones. But I first remember him from Walt Disney's mid-50's era series of dramatizations of the story of Davy Crockett, where he played Davy's sidekick George Russell, to Fess Parker's Davy. (He was first choice to play the Tin Woodman in The Wizard of Oz in 1939, but had a near-fatal reaction to the first version of the silver makeup, and was forced to withdraw. The makeup was reformulated, and Jack Haley cast in Ebsen's place.) Recognize Martin Balsam, who played the Hollywood producer at Holly's party? He was in 12 Angry Men (the jury foreman), and Psycho (the private detective). Top notch reaction, Ames. Keep up the fine work.

Even though this isn't one of my favorite Audrey films, I'm glad Ames liked it. Hepburn, by most metrics was miscast, I believe Capote had wanted Marilyn Monroe, which would make perfect sense. With her perennial lost girl energy, Monroe personified the Holly of the book. But in another way, Hepburn and her innate plucky energy, works perfectly--even the phony baloney Middle Atlantic accent would be something a calculated, backwoods social climber would affect. Indeed, Holly's a total reinvention, not a real person, just a lovely superficial shell. Terrified of the vulnerability of authenticity., she is Cat and Cat is her--no real name in order to stave off an actual identity. When things get too serious, she lets Cat go (and in the book, she doesn't go and find him again). Plus, Audrey's doing some serious heavy lifting in this movie--her character is vacuous and damaged and needy and sad (and in the book, not much else), but Audrey somehow makes us care about her. George Peppard is a stiff (he always was), Buddy Ebsen's a creep and Mickey Rooney is a hate crime--that Audrey manages to elevate the whole affair is quite an achievement! Hopefully, the next Audrey film Ames tries is Charade opposite Cary Grant--it's a fun, funny, wonderful film, but it's also important because it's the only movie starring the two most perfect human beings in the history of the world.

I loved watching this with you, and yes I cried again at the end when she rescued "cat" after momentarily abandoning him. OH a little trivia, the actor who played Doc Buddy Ebsen was 21 years older than Audrey Hepburn. "Doc" told "Fred" that they were married when she was "going on 14" which means she was only 13 when they were married and he would have been 34. Even back then that would have been illegal so that is probably why it was annulled. I loved it when they went shopping at Tifanny’s. That is my dream to go to Tiffanys someday but I’m sure it is totally different from back in the 60’s. You never had Cracker Jack, poor baby, so sorry, I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and the cracker jack prize back then was to die for. If you are truly an Audrey Hepburn fan you must watch the movie My Fair Lady, 1964 musical movie. Absolutely Amazing performance by her Oh, a little trivia about the great Audrey Hepburn. Did you know that she was a war hero during WWII https://www.facebook.com/smallestsoldier/posts/audrey-hepburn-wwii-herothe-wwii-resistance-fighter-who-helped-downed-allied-pil/1138428148304517/ Audrey Hepburn was a courageous member of the Dutch Resistance during World War II. As a teenager in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, she risked her life to perform several high-stakes roles for the underground movement. Her Wartime Resistance Work • Secret Courier: Due to her fluency in English, she was a vital messenger between British airmen and the resistance. She famously carried coded messages and underground anti-Nazi newspapers (like the Oranjekrant) hidden in her wooden shoes or woolen socks while riding her bicycle. • Aiding Allied Pilots: She delivered food and information to downed Allied paratroopers and pilots hiding in the woodlands. Her family even reportedly sheltered a British paratrooper in their home for a time. • "Black Evening" Performances: An aspiring ballerina, she staged illegal, silent dance recitals called zwarte avonden ("black evenings") to raise money for those sheltering Jewish families. These were held in secret rooms with blacked-out windows to avoid detection by Nazi patrols. • Volunteer Nursing: She worked as a doctor's assistant and volunteer nurse in a hospital that served as a center for resistance activity in Velp. The Impact of War Hepburn's family suffered immensely during the occupation. Her uncle was executed for resistance activities, and her brother was sent to a German labor camp. During the "Hunger Winter" of 1944–45, she nearly starved, subsisting on tulip bulbs and grass. This severe malnutrition permanently damaged her health and contributed to the slender physique that later became her trademark on screen. For much of her life, she kept these stories private, partially out of modesty and partially due to the complicated politics of her parents, who had early fascist sympathies before the invasion. Her wartime trauma eventually drove her to spend her final years as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, advocating for children in war zones—work for which she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Would you like to know more about her specific missions with UNICEF or the book "Dutch Girl" that detailed her war years?
