It contains some ugly anachronisms, but Blake Edwards is at his funniest in this iconic classic, and Audrey Hepburn absolutely lights up the screen. Read critic reviews

It can be faulted as a narrative and it doesn't take a serious moral view. But the people who querulously insist on such points have clearly not surrendered to Miss Hepburn's magic spell.

An unusual love story, glamorous, sophisticated, with more than a touch of the bizarre.

Well, the movie still looks very good, and you'd need a heart of stone not to love the cat.

It's as ditsy and delightful as ever - with charm enough to forgive it plenty.

Fabulous, but lots of drinking and cigarettes.

...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.

Mar 12, 2020Breakfast at Tiffany's is a classic, and Hepburn is amazing in the lead role. I had avoided this film for sometime, but the timing was right and I'm happy to say, the hype is correct. Strong filmmaking and character film, they just don't make films like this anymore. Blake Edwards is known for his Pink Panther films, but for the film buffs, he has a wide range of films that are much better and Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of them. The film is one unconventional beat to the next and that's why the film is so much fun to watch. I'm now interested to find the book to compare, as the author himself was a socialite. The only blip, and this is only with hindsight bias opinion. The Rooney character is horrible, and a prime example of white washing. Tough to watch, and not funny. I wouldn't condemn the film, but it stands as the example of cringe worthy racism and showcases a period in time. 28/02/2020Brendan N Super Reviewer

Mar 23, 2015This iconic Hepburn role is equal parts charming and biting. You can't help but immediately notice the shallow facade Hepburn's protagonist hides behind. As a result, you find yourself rooting for change. The colors and set pieces are beautiful, but it is, however, quite aware of its own Holywood mystique, the outcome of which is formulaic. Yet what it adopts in self-aware Hollywood-ism, Breakfast at Tiffany's makes up for in execution.Jeff L Super Reviewer

Dec 25, 2013A favorite movie of mine since high school. I do love the idea of enjoying a place for its character and not necessarily for purchasing its wares. My Tiffany's is White Castle, though I still do purchase plenty of their delicious, miniature wares and frequent their Valentine's Day extravaganzas. The dialogue is naughty yet oblique enough for its time; Cat is cute and sad; George Peppard is dreamy as all-get-out; and Henry Mancini's iconic score is playful and mischievous. I prefer Marilyn Monroe to Audrey Hepburn in general, but I can't deny that the latter brings a level of sophistication and class that the former wouldn't have if she had been cast as Holly Golightly, which Truman Capote wanted her to be. Seeing this again for the first time in a long time though has opened my eyes to an unsettling revelation: Holly Golightly is probably the first [gasp] Manic Pixie Dreamgirl! I've grown weary of the can't-be-tamed caged bird trope that has become a cliche pop culture identity with Karen Gillan's Amy Pond on "Doctor Who" and various other "too fucked up to love me" girls. I used to identify strongly with the winsome and mercurial Holly Golightly and she's still a rather complex and memorable character, but perhaps my impatience for the literary/filmic type has retroactively soured her for me.Alice S Super Reviewer

Breakfast at Tiffany's Quotes
| Holly Golightly: | No, no, you disapprove of me. And I will not accept drinks from gentlemen who disapprove of me. I'll pay for my own whiskey and don't you forget it! |
| Paul Varjak: | Holly... |
| Holly Golightly: | I do not accept drinks from disapproving gentlemen. Especially not from disapproving gentlemen who are kept by the ladies. So take it. You should be used to taking money from ladies by now. |
| Holly Golightly: | You could always tell what kind of a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives you. I must say, the mind reels. |
| Mr. Yunioshi: | Miss Gorightry! |
| Holly Golightly: | Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name! |
