All time classic based on a novel by Truman Capote and directed by Blake Edwards. Starring fabulous Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly.
In the Capote´s novel Holly is pictured as a easy going prostitute but the movie version is much more cleaned up and has a Hollywood style happy ending.
Holly Golightly is really a country girl Lula Mae Barnes who got married by the age of 14. She runs away and ends up in New York. Holly pictures her self free spirit who does not want to be owned or own anything. Her home doesn't really have lot of furniture and even her cat doesn't have a name. Anybody she truly cares about is her brother Fred. Truman Capote had pictured Marilyn Monroe as Holly Golightly. But Audrey Hepburn really made the movie to spark.
Movie trivia:
Henri Mancini composed the song "Moon River" to fit Hepburns vocal range and it won an Oscar.
Breakfast at Tiffany's made Holly Golightly a fashion icon with the famous black Givency dress.
