Product Description:
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: 041004
Amazon.com essential video:
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 naiveté combine to create one of the great screen romances and a refined slice of high society bohemian chic. --Sean Axmaker

Rating:  - Two amoral, shallow people find love? Yeah, right.
I really found this movie quite the antithesis of "charming." Now, admittedly, Hepburn and Peppard were two very attractive, physically appealing people. However, I couldn't stand their characters. Let's see -- she makes her living by leading rich men on, taking their money and then dumping them at the last minute. He's a "kept man", sleeping with a married woman. Why should I like these people?
Furthermore, while people seem to find Holly's dialogue cute, I found Hepburn's performance ... Read More
Rating:  - Breakfast at Tiffany's very glam
I'm glad I bought this through Amazon. The price was fair and the shipping prompt. Audrey Hepburn's glamor and grace are effortless. The movie is great and I'm glad to own it on dvd. There are hours of extra features that I haven't watched yet but any extra footage of Audrey is a big plus.
Rating: - A Classic that stands the test of time!
Audrey Hepburn's best movie, and a Hollywood classic if there ever was one.I saw this movie over 40 years ago at a drive-in movie theatre, but it's even better today on my new 65" H.D. TV screen.It looks and sounds better than ever.As I think about it, it might also be one of the best performances of George Peppard as well.And don't forget Patricia Neal.What an actress.Am I in love with this movie and the memory of Audrey Hepburn?You bet . . . This is one of the few movies that I can sit ... Read More
Rating: - I must say I'm amazed
This movie is an absolute must-see for anyone. It combines everything a classic should have - great actors (Audrey is tops and Peppard was never better), a great screenplay, a perfect score and New York (as usual) doing its best. The screenplay departs from the Capote's original but it does so in a way which makes the story work and which could be presented on the screen in 1961 - actually, the story is quite daring for the early 60s but you have to read between the lines every now and then to get it. ...

Rating:  - I want to have breakfast with Holly...
There is a lot of love for this movie; that is clear.`Breakfast at Tiffany's' is usually heralded as a classic film, and has definitely proven to be Audrey Hepburn's most popular movie role.Truth be told though, this is really nothing more than a romantic comedy; a very good one mind you, but nothing more.In fact, don't hate me for saying this, but `Breakfast at Tiffany's' reminds me of the type of film I could see Kate Hudson or Jennifer Lopez doing in a year or two.What makes this film stand ...
