Movie Reviews of Breakfast at Tiffany's (Special Aniversary Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Silly Chick-Flick, But Not A Total Waste Of Time
Summary: 3 Stars
After years of hearing what a classic this film is, I was disappointed after finally watching it. The story is unbelievably absurd at times (If Audrey Hepburn's character really grew up on a farm in the mid-west and came to New York just a few years before, no amount of speech and voice training could make her sound like that!) Also, Holly Golightly seems way too sweet and innocent to be a prostitute.
Nevertheless, the film is worth watching to see 1960's New York City looking so clean and inviting, Audrey Hepburn's outfits, and -- above all --- George Peppard falling in love. Plus, after watching the film I couldn't get the song "Moon River" out of my head. I found out the lyrics are not so great but the music is very beautiful.
I wouldn't call "Breakfast at Tiffany's" a must-see film, but it wasn't bad.
Summary of Breakfast at Tiffany's (Special Aniversary Collector's Edition)
Winner of two Oscars? the romantic comedy that sparkles like diamonds! The names Audrey Hepburn and Holly Golightly have become synonymous since this dazzling romantic comedy was translated to the screen from Truman Capote's best-selling novella. Holly is a deliciously eccentric New York City playgirl determined to marry a Brazilian Millionaire. George Peppard plays her next-door neighbor a writer who is "sponsored" by a wealthy Patricia Neal. Guessing who's the right man for Holly is easy. Seeing just how that romance blossoms is one of the enduring delights of this gem-like treat set to Henry Mancini's Oscar?-winning score and the Oscar?-winning Mancini-Johnny Mercer song "Moon River."System Requirements:Running Time 114 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 097360410044 Manufacturer No: 041004No 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
