...the final scene, a tender sequence that you can sop up with a sponge, but if you aren't moved by it you probably stick kittens with pins.
Out of the elusive, but curiously intoxicating Truman Capote fiction, scenarist George Axelrod has developed a surprisingly moving film, touched up into a stunningly visual motion picture.
This story of a party girl in love with a gigolo allows [director Blake] Edwards to create a very handsome film, with impeccable Technicolor photography by Franz Planer.
A completely unbelievable but wholly captivating flight into fancy composed of unequal dollops of comedy, romance, poignancy, funny colloquialisms and Manhattan's swankiest East Side areas captured in the loveliest of colors.
For those who considers themselves romantics, or for anyone who just enjoys a simple love story from time-to-time, Breakfast at Tiffany's offers a few simple pleasures.
Audrey Hepburn gives one of her most stylish and iconic performances in this charming if slightly sentimental version of Truman Capote's famous novella.
Well, the movie still looks very good, and you'd need a heart of stone not to love the cat.
Blake Edwards's hymn to New York high style and high living with its charming heroine, along with her cat (called "Cat") and those wonderful Johnny Mercer Moon River lyrics, has hardly dated since its release.
It's as ditsy and delightful as ever - with charm enough to forgive it plenty.
Its charms remain undiminished after five decades, despite Mickey Rooney's Mr Yunioshi...
Fabulous, but lots of drinking and cigarettes.
An undeniably romantic tale of damaged goods finding love.
Whatever it is, I just don't see the pizzazz in Holly Golightly's life.
When it comes to cinematic fashion and romance, perhaps none are more iconic than Blake Edwards' Breakfast at Tiffany's.
There is not one extra that stands equal to this film, and it feels like a hint of repackaging, but this disc comes down to the moments of the movie--like the cocktail party.
...a more ordinary movie than I remembered, with its clunky bits and a story that seems to betray authorial intent. Holly Golightly is not about the conventional American dream of domestic paradise; she is about the American perquisite of reinvention
It's not one of my favorite films, but I can understand its appeal. (50th Anniversary Blu-ray edition)
...the movie maintains a spirited bounce in its step that is still infectious today.
Paramount's 'Centennial Collection' two-disc DVD set is a really nice package, right down to the eight page booklet containing some nice photos.
It's like getting two movies for the price of one %u2013 light romantic comedy and a relatively effective human drama at the same time.
Enduringly enjoyable romantic comedy always worth a revisit. Tone and performances are delicately judged, and Hepburn is radiant throughout.
