HOLLYWOOD -CLASSICS-BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S

Breakfast at Tiffany's – the 1961 film based on Truman Capote's 1958 novella – has become more famous for its visual shorthands, its signifiers of New York chic and fashionable femininity, than its actual story or characters.

 

Breakfast at Tiffany's is about a young woman named Holly Golightly. Holly suffered an abusive childhood, along with her brother, Fred. She and Fred ran from the abuse, and were taken in by "Doc" Golightly, who married her when she was about fourteen.

Actor: Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard

Story by: Truman Capote.

Directed  by  
Blake Edwards

 Upon its release in 1961, the Oscar-winning film Breakfast at Tiffany's quickly became a classic, praised particularly for its star (the glamorous, gamine Audrey Hepburn) and her chic, oft-imitated style—guided by the sharp eyes of Hubert de Givenchy and legendary costume designer Edith Head

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards, written by George Axelrod, adapted from Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same name, and starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a naïve, eccentric café society girl who falls in love with a struggling writer (George Peppard 

 In many ways, Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's is a story about the human desire for companionship and love. Although Holly Golightly is an independent young woman who makes her own way in the world and refuses to let others interfere with her individuality, she also appreciates the value of human connection.

 It's the belief that only good things happen there that makes Tiffany's so appealing to her. So why choose this as the title? The title draws attention to Holly without having to name her specifically – she's the only one in the book who loves the store so much.

 

 Tiffany's flagship store (since 1940) is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in Manhattan, New York City. The former Tiffany and Company Building on 38th Street is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The polished granite exterior is well known for its tiny window displays.

 NEW YORK — More than 50 years after the Oscar-winning film “Breakfast at Tiffany's” starring Audrey Hepburn came out, you can now actually have breakfast at Tiffany & Co.'s flagship store in midtown Manhattan. Last November, the Blue Box Cafe opened on the fourth floor of the iconic Fifth Avenue jewelry store

 Breakfast at Tiffany's is a mostly charming film which serves as a wonderful showcase for the great Audrey Hepburn. In her portrayal of Holly Golightly Hepburn created one of the most iconic characters in film history. This is a memorable film and it's Hepburn who makes it so.

 And it is here, at the ending, where the book and the movie differ. In the film, the cat is found and Holly's revelation is met by a passionate kiss from Paul, the man who has always loved her, who she can finally love back, now that she understands what love and commitment are.
