Movie Reviews of Breakfast At Tiffany's - Paramount Centennial Collection (Mastered in High Definition)
Movie Review: Young, dumb, and full of ... issues
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, Tiffany fans, here's a question ... Would you feel even the remotest bit of affection or sympathy towards this shallow, amoral, self-destructive, annoying, insane lead character if she weren't played by Audrey Hepburn? Admittedly, Hepburn is just cute as a button here. But imagine Mercedes McCambridge or Susan Tyrell playing Holly Golightly. Doesn't seem so pretty anymore, does it? Trust me, when Golightly loses her looks, her mannerisms will become far less charming and George Peppard's character will be looking to dump her off at the nearest mental institution. Peppard plays the classic male idiot whose fragile self-worth is defined by "saving" some woman, preferably one that is petite and fetching. I would almost give this film high marks for accurately portraying such a mutually destructive partnership of misery, if it weren't for the fact that the film ends too early. It would have been intriguing to see these characters 20 years later, with the emotional carnage such a union typically begets. As it is, "Tiffany's" is a phony and socially irresponsible romantic fantasy.

Summary of Breakfast At Tiffany's - Paramount Centennial Collection (Mastered in High Definition)
Genre: Drama
Rating: NR
Release Date: 13-JAN-2009
Media Type: DVD
No film better utilizes Audrey Hepburn's flighty charm and svelte beauty than this romantic adaptation of Truman Capote's novella. Hepburn's urban sophisticate Holly Golightly, an enchanting neurotic living off the gifts of gentlemen, is a bewitching figure in designer dresses and costume jewelry. George Peppard is her upstairs neighbor, a struggling writer and "kept" man financed by a steely older woman (Patricia Neal). His growing friendship with the lonely Holly soon turns to love and threatens the delicate balance of both of their compromised lives. Taking liberties with Capote's bittersweet story, director Blake Edwards and screenwriter George Axelrod turn New York into a city of lovers and create a poignant portrait of Holly, a frustrated romantic with a secret past and a hidden vulnerability. Composer Henry Mancini earned Oscars for the hit song "Moon River" and his tastefully romantic score. The only sour note in the whole film is Mickey Rooney's demeaning performance as the apartment's Japanese manager, an offensively overdone stereotype even in 1961. The rest of the film has weathered the decades well. Edwards's elegant yet light touch, Axelrod's generous screenplay, and Hepburn's mix of knowing experience and naivet? combine to create one of the great screen romances and a refined slice of high society bohemian chic. --Sean Axmaker
