Breakfast At Tiffany's [1961] - Paramount Home Entertainment

Meet Audrey Hepburn for Breakfast at Tiffany's

A beautiful debonair named Holly Golightly leaves her husband and moves into Manhattan with an ambition to meet a wealthy man, marry him, and then name her pet cat, and enjoy the rest of her life. This sounds like an ambition of a typical young woman, but when Holly meets a young writer named Paul Varjak; there is no love at first; but that changes gradually and love blossoms. One would like to think this is a love story, but not quite, the author is not Erich Segal. Truman Capote wrote this short novel about a woman who is in pursuit of a high society life and never finds one; and she never grows up. The movie deviates from Capote's book in several areas. Capote wrote this book with Marilyn Monroe on his mind for the lead role, but the role went to Audrey Hepburn; director Blake Edwards couldn't have made a better choice. This is one of the classic movies of Hepburn in which every member of the audience becomes enchanted and captivated with the beauty and passion of Holly played by Hepburn. This wisp-thin actress, carrying a long cigarette holder is one of the iconic images of American Cinema.

In the final part of the movie when Holly was dumped by her rich Brazilian fiancée, her friend Paul Varjak helps her recollect; and in a reconciliatory term she changes her heart only to fall in love with Varjak. This scene was shot in the middle of pouring rain in Manhattan that adds a touch of pure romance and a grand finale to the endless pursuit of Holly in search of a rich man. Everyone who loves happy ending would love this; but no one was unhappy than Capote who was upset for the change; he wanted Holly to remain as a mysterious woman who never learns and never gives up her dream. My favorite part of the movie is the film's on-location opening sequence, in which Holly gazes into a Tiffany's display window after getting out from a cab in mid-town Manhattan, while eating a pastry; and of course the scene kissing Varjak in the middle of pouring rain in Manhattan. This movie shows more scenes of streets of Manhattan than any other movie I have seen. I highly recommend listening to the hit song of the American rock group Deep Blue Something's "Breakfast at Tiffany's," which adds to the enjoyment. Of course the music in the movie is strongly supported by Henry Mancini.

Many of us from the days of "A Team" know George Peppard as a tough talking Colonel Smith. It is a pleasant surprise for some of us to see this DVD and witness the tender side of young Peppard as Paul Varjak. Paul is strong, yet remains as an acquaintance of Holly but gradually he sees the feminine side of Holly, who is vulnerable, yet romantic in her heart. Blake Edwards indicated at one stage that he might not have cast Peppard if he were to do this all over again. We are unsure if there was a problem in their working relationship or Edwards was unhappy with his casting. I for one who was most disappointed to learn that Peppard was not nominated for academy award for his role in this movie. Buddy Ebsen and Mickey Rooney have limited roles; yet they delight the audience with their talents and craftsmanship.

Great fun!

I'd never seen breakfast at Tiffany's but as its such a classic I thought I should. It follows the story of Holly Golightly looking for a man with money, and her inevitable romances. It's a really fun film, not to be taken too seriously. It's of course a romance with a happy ending, but it's not too cheesy or sickening, it has a couple of sad moments. I really love the characters, they are so individual and imperfect, it's not a story you will see in another film. I really loved the film and I'll certainly watch it again. If you have read the book apparently the film is really different so don't be dissapointed by that.

The DVD has a few really interesting extras, giving you a little information about Tiffany's and the choosing of actors for the parts. The extras probablly take less than an hour to watch but its good that its not loaded with unecessary extras.

Highly recomended to anyone who likes a sweet romance, especially for those who like the sixties too!
