I agree with the gentlemen here who believe the closing scene with "Cat" is one of the most touchingly romantic in film history. I'm a 65 year old man, and if I watched the entire film now, I'd be crying, without shame.
I'm 14 and I'm so glad that the internet has movies like this out there! I've already seen Roman Holiday, Charade, Sabrina, My Fair Lady and now Breakfast at Tiffany's. I wish there could be more movies like this
I'm not trying to kid anybody tbh idrc about her safety idk her, but you trying to play the socially acceptable loser isn't helping by promoting unsafe practices. Also nobody cares she's 14. She's just using it as an excuse to make her feel better (since her taste is different from most kids) and more mature than people her age which is an immature and lame trend happening all over youtube. Just because she share the same interests as most adults now a days then people her age like her parents doesn't make her special if anything it would make he more susceptible to being identified as an outcast or loser in high school. Which isn't likely for this just characteristic but if she did this would other things it would increase the likelihood.
I was a very little kid in NYC,at the time this was made;but i still remember the Taxis of that time;and the opening shot,with the handsome art-deco [winged back] taxicab,is just so beautiful to me.
I always say, I'm not going to cry during the last scene with Audrey, George and Cat, and then...argh! the tears come without warning. Lo! One of my all time favorite movies. It was magic.
Blake Edwards said about George Peppard that he was not his cup of tea, sorry Blake but for me George was the perfect cup of tea for Audrey, their chemistry on screen was just incredible to watch!!
Well, it's no secret that when the project was being developed, Steve McQueen was the first choice to play Paul. And facts be known, John Frankenheimer was originally slated to direct the film, not Blake Edwards. But this is one of the instances when everything (apart from Mickey Rooney) worked out for the best. I think McQueen was too edgy to be convincing as Patricia Neal's prize trophy boy, but George Peppard pulled it off effortlessly - and he had dynamite chemistry with Hepburn. Also, Frankenheimer could never have directed the celebrated party scene as effectively as Edwards.
Having lived through that era, I don't recall that much class and elegance back then. Sure as hell better than today. The cars, what can I say? And those GMC transit busses, even they were elegant in their own way.
Hey ! give me a break, I grew up in Chelsea MA. It was a gritty working class town. Now it's a sanctuary city so I guess it was better back then, I just didn't appreciate it in those days.
Al Campbell I agree with you, Al. During that time, I was around 10 or 11 yrs old. All was not “peaches & cream” but ppl had a sense of STANDARD during that time, there was a line that you just don’t pass; There is just some things you didn’t do “in public”. I think ppl had a sense of DECENCY and majority of society have lost that. The world is at the “bottom of the barrel” now...even with all its technology, education, glitz & glamour. 2/21/19.
One of my all time favorite movies and Audrey was perfect and so gorgeous! Every time I sleep with my cats and wear my eye mask it reminds me of this great classic film and I also was single once living in NYC and played my guitar at my old brownstone apt on the Upper East side and used to love to window shop at Tiffany's. I'm sure many a woman living in Manhattan can relate! Thanks for sharing!
NYC itself is a character in the film. There is no place like it. I never lived there, but went in frequently for my freelance career. I still claim it as my working home !
Breakfast at Tiffany‘s is a great and also timeless movie. It’s, like all of Audrey Hepburn‘s movies something that you can watch over and over again, and where you will always feel a certain warmth at your heart. She was a truly great actress and, no one could have played her part in Breakfast at Tiffany‘s better than she did.
I read that George was unbearable during the filming. Patricia Neal even said he was so pretentious that he alienated everyone on the set. Yet on the screen there is an incredible chemistry between Audrey and George!!
@@SheriSoltes He definitely was. It's not one of those performances you look at & think "He was perfect, I can't imagine anyone else in that role", there's numerous actors I could've envisioned being better for it.
Even Audrey Hepburn couldn't stand him during production, and she gets along with everyone. But I've read that they became (and stayed) close friends after the shooting wrapped. That seemed to be a pattern with Peppard. (Likeable after hours but a nightmare to work with)
My God those eyes of hers.. that voice of hers.. were so gorgeous. The real definition of female beauty. That scene where she sings.. if she was looking at me anytime with those eyes, any problem any sadness of mine could disappear only by her stare..
I love this movie. I was naive enough when I first saw this to just think she just loved to party! Still watch this and cry at the ending, Audrey was wonderful!
she exuded class, sophistication, amazing sense of fashion, and beauty without stripping off her clothes, getting shitty tan, pumping her lips with injection, and portraying the need to be super skinny. This, my friends, is what I call a real woman and a true Hollywood star.
I agree, Audrey was a sweet sophisticated lady who was wise beyond her years. I loved how she defended herself by saying "over my dead body" in keeping the Moon River Song. She will always be an inspiration to me. Thank You Audrey! 🙂
Try Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby with Katherine Hepburn and His Gal Friday with Rosalind Russell. These are “screwball comedies”. Made earlier. More broad comedy but very stylish, fun and endearing.
Saw an interview with Audrey Hepburn...she said in the opening scene outside of Tiffany's store, she almost choked on that dry croissant and ice cold coffee. Poor thing didn't want fresh ones cause she didn't want to break the early morning walk of shame mood.
i'm 15 and i finished watching this film for the first time about 10 minutes ago and i honestly fell in love with it! every film ive ever seen now seems horrible compared to the classic that is breakfast at tiffanys. i'm off to go watch it again
In my opinion even Paris When It Sizzles is incredible, even though Audrey thought it was the worst. And how to steal a million is also one of my favourites. Basically all her movies haha...
05:41 I'm surprise with her appearance in this documentary.. she lives in that era, and I still can see how classy she is.. I mean, classy lady at that era is so adorable, even when they aged and live in this millennial world which is change a lot with 60`s era.. if I still can see Audrey in 2018 I guess she will be the most classy lady ever! Ooo, RIP my dear Audrey, I love you😇
22 MAR 2018 Just watched, again, last night on TCM. Such a great classic movie! I always enjoy seeing Audrey! She was just as elegant in her personal life as she was on screen. Wonderful to see George Peppard, Cat, the interior of Tiffany's in the 60's, her elegant clothes, the cars, the music. ALLLLL of it is delightful! Love and miss you Audrey! Thank you zazapk9 for putting this on RUclips for us to enjoy!
Hepburn was unique and charming; in addition to her wonderful performance in Tiffany's, I thought that she was showcased to her best advantage in the two Stanley Donen directed films, Funny Face and Two For The Road. Look at the spectacular leading men that she worked with: Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Henry Fonda, Cary Grant, Sean Connery, Rex Harrison, Albert Finney, George Peppard, William Holden and Humphrey Bogart.
Big difference between the romance in the movie and Truman Capote's novella. Glad they made the movie a lot more romantic. Please read the novella for the difference. Also, big surprise that the producers really wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly. Marilyn would have done it well, too, but no disputing Audrey Hepburn was superb in the movie.
@Transplanted1 Yes! That's exactly how I felt. I was staying in a Hotel on the UWS and decided to wake up early and go for walk... everything was so quiet and peaceful and it was "all mine".
Perfectly cast, where are unforgettable films like this now. We've lost the writers, we've lost those days forever. All we have now is a facade of digitally gloriously looking films - mostly meaningless in their script / screenplay. Ask many today who Audrey Hepburn is and I'd venture to say many wouldn't know . But she's still singing Henry's beautiful song on the window ledge. She refused to have that song deleted from the the film. I think of this beautiful film all the time.
they cant make more films like this :( everything is too different the world is too rotten. this film represents a time when people respected each other and there was this romantic, warm glow about life there was no internet, no smartphones or google it was so simple. the 50s really was a great era wasnt it? Im glad this movie is a classic
10:51 this is hilarious and iconic.... Black Edwards is wacky lol... gets me everytime 😆😭. Basically the editing it so neat on entirety, the fashion, script, support casts, the screenplay and just loooove Audrey and George as Holly and Paul. Looking back all these cast delivering interviews are gentle reminders how classy people are there once and I do really hope they would make timeless movie like this. So distinguished that even 'cat' got its bill !
thx blake & martin, 4 us kids growing up overseas that was a form o paradise - mental turbo in our teenage phase. still today I consume it almost weekly. keep it up gentlemen :)
Audrey Hepburn was flawless, magical and a rare talent. More than that, she was a rare person. I love her in every film but more, I admire her as a person🥰
Amazing that Brooks would re-cast Mickey Rooney today, I thought he was fabulous, and if Peppard was a pain, that also didn't show, I thought everyone was great.....it's really a very simple piece of SUPER GOOD MOVIE, fun and beautiful to watch, great cast all around...................not heavy, not political, just a joy to watch, and the music didn't hurt either..........................who is still living......Mickey !
The Mr Yunioshi character is rather ridiculous & is completely out of place in this movie. I don't see why they just didn't play it more straight, you could still have Rooney play a funny, bumbling landlord without the ridiculous Japanese caricature. Rather unnecessary & silly, I can see why he would change it if he had the chance.
I'm absolutely shocked at the suggestion Marilyn Monroe could have ever played Holly Golightly! Yes Marilyn could have played a call girl/escort, but that's certainly not the character the great Miss Hepburn molded from the clay given her by Truman Capote. Audrey's Holly took money from questionable men to pay her bills and she may very well have slept with most of them, but that just made her a fun girl who still always lived her own life!
Capote wanted Monroe, he wrote the part with her in mind. I wouldn't have loved the film as much if they'd have cast Monroe. She's fine & all but Audrey I just adore, period.
@@NoirFan84 The original Capote book was grittier so it would never have captured people’s imagination and Marilyn would not have made the movie fashionly iconic. I read in a biography about Audrey that quoted some director saying that “her sexiness entered through the heart, not through the groin”. She was just magical.
We certainly do need more films like this. They seemed to fizzle out after the 80s. But as log as Hollywood pushes the action movie agenda on the masses, these kinds of romantic films will go extinct, and it's sad to see.
blootm4ever...It was an exciting era of innocence, hope, romance, prosperity & patriotism when dreams could easily be made real......gone & it will never be again. I lived in this era.
I've known a LOT of girls who came to NYC at a young age and were a notch below hookers, here to have fun, maybe be an actress and hang out with men who gave them $50.00 just for asking for it. Not hookers, but damned close.
The 90's song brought me to the movie, and the movie was treasure to find in my thirties, and remains one of my favourites now. We should all live like those two actors - on the big screen of our lives... 253562
We lost direction when the motion picture industries came under new ownerships and the fast buck became more important than the quality of the writing!
I'd say around mid 1970s and Jaws first came into the movie theaters. Jaws was a Blockbuster which started the summer movie craze which started less and less human stories and dialogue but more action and then bigger action with bigger special effects and...well you get the picture.
Holly Golightly is a survivor.. her story in the book was so much harder... Ms. HEPBURN GAVE HER CHARM.. DISCRETION AND FABULOUS STYLE BY GIVENCHY and a timeless dialog. I continue to be a world Nomad because of the theme song MOONRIVER. Waiting for my moment in the rain.
Blake Edwards started out as a radio writer. He wrote the Richard Diamond radio series with Dick Powell. You can hear the shows on the internet. And they give his writing credit at the end of the shows.
Audrey Hepburn es y será mi amor platónico...estoy obsesionado con ella... Cuando habla en español, es lo más exquisito que hay,,, Audrey Hepburn visits Mexico, February 1989
no he podido ver la version completa de la pelicula. no puedo opinar, espero encontrar algun dia esta obra de arte. Audrey estaras en nuestro corazon siempre, tu belleza, tu dulzura perduraran por siempre.
The best accolade to this film I ever read was put out by a classic film theatre in Detroit. When "Breakfast At Tiffany's" was scheduled to be shown, the capsule description ended with the words " ... it sparkles like diamonds!" Spot on, I'd say!
By all accounts, Hepburn was delightful to work with; Patricia Neal, who was featured prominently, said in interviews that George Peppard was insufferable on the set. He thought that he would become the next Paul Newman; within five or six years, he was making B western movies at Universal.
I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's when it first came out -- I was 16. It is still one of my favorite movies. At 74, I still love it.
I agree with the gentlemen here who believe the closing scene with "Cat" is one of the most touchingly romantic in film history. I'm a 65 year old man, and if I watched the entire film now, I'd be crying, without shame.
I;m glad. My Dad cried and he was tres macho; I take after him and I'm proud, and you're a lovely guy
That scene makes me cry every time.
Audrey was and is the greatest female of all time in the world of beauty.
I'm 65 and just watched it last weekend. Ending rain & cat scene is fantastic.
I'm 14 and I'm so glad that the internet has movies like this out there! I've already seen Roman Holiday, Charade, Sabrina, My Fair Lady and now Breakfast at Tiffany's. I wish there could be more movies like this
Nobody cares about your age it doesn't make you better then other 14 year olds. It just beans you have different taste.
Don't pay any attention to that other person. It's ok to be 14 and don't let anyone try to make you feel bad about yourself.
Who are you trying to kid? Read your original statement. You weren't trying to protect her from anything. Leave the girl alone ahole!
I'm not trying to kid anybody tbh idrc about her safety idk her, but you trying to play the socially acceptable loser isn't helping by promoting unsafe practices. Also nobody cares she's 14. She's just using it as an excuse to make her feel better (since her taste is different from most kids) and more mature than people her age which is an immature and lame trend happening all over youtube. Just because she share the same interests as most adults now a days then people her age like her parents doesn't make her special if anything it would make he more susceptible to being identified as an outcast or loser in high school. Which isn't likely for this just characteristic but if she did this would other things it would increase the likelihood.
Sorahearts1X You don't know half of what you think you know, you shitter.
"We should make more films like that." Couldn't agree more!
Did anyone say thank you to Audrey? Thank you Audrey, you're forever beautiful, talented, strong, and I wish for more like you.
I cannot believe some of these comments, this is an absolute all time classic with the most beautiful stylish woman ever. it is faultless.
Well said. Its probably one of my top five favorite films. Peace friend ❤
I agree, what's with the other comments?
Amen 🙏 and Well said!!!
The absence of Audrey in this documentary makes me sad...
well she died in 1993 so yeah.....
@@johnk1006 63 was far too young:( cancer is horrible
She sadly passed away already in 1993.
If I had to watch the same film every day for the rest of my life, this one would probably be it.
Ditto!
There is no other film!!! (you have class, dear!)
I was a very little kid in NYC,at the time this was made;but i still remember the Taxis of that time;and the opening shot,with the handsome art-deco [winged back] taxicab,is just so beautiful to me.

I always say, I'm not going to cry during the last scene with Audrey, George and Cat, and then...argh! the tears come without warning. Lo! One of my all time favorite movies. It was magic.
That amazing cat was also in the Disney movie Thomasina. 😽
The music swells, the rain,the cat smashed between them and that kiss.
Made me cry. I loved everyone in that movie..especially Audry Hepburn.
Blake Edwards said about George Peppard that he was not his cup of tea, sorry Blake but for me George was the perfect cup of tea for Audrey, their chemistry on screen was just incredible to watch!!
i think he meant working with him since George was so spoiled
He meant as a human being. He was known to be a spoiled bastard.
Chelsea Anne k
Well, it's no secret that when the project was being developed, Steve McQueen was the first choice to play Paul. And facts be known, John Frankenheimer was originally slated to direct the film, not Blake Edwards.

I think McQueen was too edgy to be convincing as Patricia Neal's prize trophy boy, but George Peppard pulled it off effortlessly - and he had dynamite chemistry with Hepburn. Also, Frankenheimer could never have directed the celebrated party scene as effectively as Edwards.
Would Paul Newman have been a strong contender, or was he busy on some other project?
Having lived through that era, I don't recall that much class and elegance back then. Sure as hell better than today. The cars, what can I say? And those GMC transit busses, even they were elegant in their own way.
You don't remember how sophisticated people were, dressed, and behaved in public??? You must have been a small child then.
Hey ! give me a break, I grew up in Chelsea MA. It was a gritty working class town. Now it's a sanctuary city so I guess it was better back then, I just didn't appreciate it in those days.
art deco taxis......gorgeous........
ahh....this is set in NYC[Greenwich Village,a hip Bohemian enclave] ,in case ya hadn't known;not,Chowderville USA.
Al Campbell I agree with you, Al. During that time, I was around 10 or 11 yrs old.

Cannot believe that George Peppard was so handsome. He looked so different from his role in A-team.
I know he was very handsome,
In a team he was an old military wisky men haha
A life of heavy smoking and drinking took its toll on him.
George did an AMAZING job playing Paul he’s SO underrated
One of my all time favorite movies and Audrey was perfect and so gorgeous! Every time I sleep with my cats and wear my eye mask it reminds me of this great classic film and I also was single once living in NYC and played my guitar at my old brownstone apt on the Upper East side and used to love to window shop at Tiffany's.

NYC itself is a character in the film. There is no place like it. I never lived there, but went in frequently for my freelance career. I still claim it as my working home !
She was magnificent in this role. Sean is right. She took something and turned it into something else. Well said. And exactly right.
Amazing actor, that cat!!!!!
Breakfast at Tiffany's is my favorite movie of all time!!!!
I must have watched it over a hundred time.
Lillian Arguello Breakfast At Tiffany's and Funny Face are my two favorite Movies with Audrey Hepburn
Audrey is the greatest. Have you seen Amelie? So Great. www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/
Roman Holiday that is for me although I do love Breakfast At Tiffany's.
Breakfast at Tiffany‘s is a great and also timeless movie. It’s, like all of Audrey Hepburn‘s movies something that you can watch over and over again, and where you will always feel a certain warmth at your heart.
She was a truly great actress and, no one could have played her part in Breakfast at Tiffany‘s better than she did.
I read that George was unbearable during the filming. Patricia Neal even said he was so pretentious that he alienated everyone on the set. Yet on the screen there is an incredible chemistry between Audrey and George!!
Genevieve Raaijmakers Paul!
I felt he was replaceable and forgettable.
@@SheriSoltes He definitely was. It's not one of those performances you look at & think "He was perfect, I can't imagine anyone else in that role", there's numerous actors I could've envisioned being better for it.
Ooh yes
Even Audrey Hepburn couldn't stand him during production, and she gets along with everyone. But I've read that they became (and stayed) close friends after the shooting wrapped. That seemed to be a pattern with Peppard. (Likeable after hours but a nightmare to work with)
My God those eyes of hers.. that voice of hers.. were so gorgeous. The real definition of female beauty. That scene where she sings.. if she was looking at me anytime with those eyes, any problem any sadness of mine could disappear only by her stare..
Audrey will always be my idol.
My favorite film, written by my favorite writer, scored with my favorite song. A great film by any standard that a film can be measured.
There IS no other film!!
Can’t forget the movie was directed by the Julie Andrews husband 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
It's so true that they don't make films like this anymore.
Must be because there isn't talent like them anymore.
I certainly agree with that statement, "they don't make movies like that anymore"....a true classic....thanks for posting this great documentary
I love this movie. I was naive enough when I first saw this to just think she just loved to party! Still watch this and cry at the ending, Audrey was wonderful!
she exuded class, sophistication, amazing sense of fashion, and beauty without stripping off her clothes, getting shitty tan, pumping her lips with injection, and portraying the need to be super skinny. This, my friends, is what I call a real woman and a true Hollywood star.
you are right!, I dont know why but I felt in love of Audrey when watched this movie; and I watched it so many times. Audrey has something special!!
I agree, Audrey was a sweet sophisticated lady who was wise beyond her years. I loved how she defended herself by saying "over my dead body" in keeping the Moon River Song. She will always be an inspiration to me. Thank You Audrey! 🙂
A gorgeous couple , a gorgeous man , gorgeous woman , beautiful movie , beautiful music score.
You can buy fat lips and a tan you can never purchase class which doesn't cost a penny
I watched it for the first time last night and it was absolutely delightful ! I loved it I can see myself rewatching it many many times.
I'm 57 years old. The movie is a little before my time! One of my favorites and definetly my favorite actress of all time. She's so beautiful
This is forever be my favourite film and Audrey Hepburn will always be my favourite actress
George Peppard might have been hard to work with, but he was nice to look at and there was great chemistry with Audrey.
So handsome.
its true we should make more movies like this, I am only 18 but i am tired of movies these days URGH! >;(
You have excellent taste, my dear!! (and you're absolutely correct about today's cinema--mostly trash!!)
Try Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby with Katherine Hepburn and His Gal Friday with Rosalind Russell. These are “screwball comedies”. Made earlier. More broad comedy but very stylish, fun and endearing.
Shut up
When Holly opens her mailbox to squirt the perfume , I imagine it to smell like Shalimar by Guerlain ....a popular scent from the 1960s.
One of my most favorite people, living or dead. I miss you, Miss Hepburn.
BTW: George Peppard was the perfect (hunk of a) boyfriend.
Saw an interview with Audrey Hepburn...she said in the opening scene outside of Tiffany's store, she almost choked on that dry croissant and ice cold coffee. Poor thing didn't want fresh ones cause she didn't want to break the early morning walk of shame mood.
i'm 15 and i finished watching this film for the first time about 10 minutes ago and i honestly fell in love with it! every film ive ever seen now seems horrible compared to the classic that is breakfast at tiffanys. i'm off to go watch it again
You need to see Funny face
Watch roman holiday.
Next, watch Sabrina! Or Charade, or My Fair Lady, or Love in the Afternoon! Just watch all of Audrey's films :)
In my opinion even Paris When It Sizzles is incredible, even though Audrey thought it was the worst. And how to steal a million is also one of my favourites. Basically all her movies haha...

You may have deviated from the original script but it worked and it was still a great movie! A classic today! Thank you Paramount.
Big difference between the romance in the movie and Truman Capote's novella. Glad they made the movie a lot more romantic. Please read the novella for the difference. Also, big surprise that the producers really wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly. Marilyn would have done it well, too, but no disputing Audrey Hepburn was superb in the movie.
M.M. would have made it
TRASHIER.!!!!!
Sorry, but no comparison at all.!!!
I watched it this morning with a cup of tea and croissant 🥐 😋
That she actually sang Moon River is over the top. In the days when most female lead singing was dubbed.
Henry Mancini considered her rendition of the song to be definitive.
I love the cat scene too.
I miss movies like this and the old musicals. Just bought the Audrey Hepburn DVD collection and am looking forward to some entertaining nights.
Great insight from the artists who created this masterpiece. I get too choked up to watch (cat lover), but I love to see this. TY.
There really isn't anything more amazing than New York early in the morning...
Wall Street 1972 5:00 am.
@Transplanted1 Yes! That's exactly how I felt. I was staying in a Hotel on the UWS and decided to wake up early and go for walk... everything was so quiet and peaceful and it was "all mine".
absolutley love this film
Perfectly cast, where are unforgettable films like this now. We've lost the writers, we've lost those days forever. All we have now is a facade of digitally gloriously looking films - mostly meaningless in their script / screenplay. Ask many today who Audrey Hepburn is and I'd venture to say many wouldn't know . But she's still singing Henry's beautiful song on the window ledge. She refused to have that song deleted from the the film.
I think of this beautiful film all the time.
Yes,Marilyn Monroe's eroticism on steroids,would have overpowered the part;Audrey Hepburn,was perfect.
Yes she was delightful and unique!
Thanks God for giving us Audrey Hepburn!!
they cant make more films like this :( everything is too different the world is too rotten. this film represents a time when people respected each other and there was this romantic, warm glow about life there was no internet, no smartphones or google it was so simple. the 50s really was a great era wasnt it? Im glad this movie is a classic
Audrey was unique..!
" Over my dead body."
Everyone who has an affection for the female gender almost automatically gets a crush on Audrey Hepburn after seeing this movie.
i am straight woman, but gosh, she was so incredibly beautiful.
@Transplanted1 true.
Nobody films a smashing party like Blake Edwards, loooove the movie !
Truely one of kind, goddess! ❤️
R.I.P., miss Audrey Hepburn! 🕯
10:51 this is hilarious and iconic.... Black Edwards is wacky lol... gets me everytime 😆😭. Basically the editing it so neat on entirety, the fashion, script, support casts, the screenplay and just loooove Audrey and George as Holly and Paul. Looking back all these cast delivering interviews are gentle reminders how classy people are there once and I do really hope they would make timeless movie like this. So distinguished that even 'cat' got its bill !
Beautiful!!!!! Thank you so much for posting it!
Can never tire of this film its an amazing film.
Wonderful opening scene, the photography and the mood is perfect !
It is in many ways a timeless film, and Audrey a timeless star, for real stars are timeless.
I have wondered where Truman got his ideas for books such as this. Both novella and movie are equally enjoyable...
Oh my gosh this is wonderful. ✨thinking of you❣️
I still cry at the ending. Such a touching film.
I have seen this movie att least 8 times and the ending still makes me cry
Just love this movie so much
thx blake & martin, 4 us kids growing up overseas
that was a form o paradise - mental turbo in our teenage phase.
still today I consume it almost weekly.
keep it up gentlemen :)
Thanks for sharing! This is just what I needed today. I've been writing a sort of report for several days. And I took a break.
My daughter thinks she was most beautiful in the world. She loves the film as i do. Lots of nice memories watching this as a child.
Audrey Hepburn was flawless, magical and a rare talent. More than that, she was a rare person. I love her in every film but more, I admire her as a person🥰
Una Actriz preciosa y única como jamás existira otra !!que siempre será recordada y jamás nunca olvidada !!!!!.....
people like audrey should never die. it isnt her style to leave this world like that
Amazing that Brooks would re-cast Mickey Rooney today, I thought he was fabulous, and if Peppard was a pain, that also didn't show, I thought everyone was great.....it's really a very simple piece of SUPER GOOD MOVIE, fun and beautiful to watch, great cast all around...................not heavy, not political, just a joy to watch, and the music didn't hurt either..........................who is still living......Mickey !

Capote wanted Monroe, he wrote the part with her in mind. I wouldn't have loved the film as much if they'd have cast Monroe. She's fine & all but Audrey I just adore, period.
@@NoirFan84 The original Capote book was grittier so it would never have captured people’s imagination and Marilyn would not have made the movie fashionly iconic. I read in a biography about Audrey that quoted some director saying that “her sexiness entered through the heart, not through the groin”. She was just magical.
We certainly do need more films like this. They seemed to fizzle out after the 80s. But as log as Hollywood pushes the action movie agenda on the masses, these kinds of romantic films will go extinct, and it's sad to see.
How lucky we are that you uploaded this !
Excellent doc.
I should have lived in this era.....
blootm4ever i love the 40-50s ❤️
blootm4ever...It was an exciting era of innocence, hope, romance, prosperity & patriotism when dreams could easily be made real......gone & it will never be again. I lived in this era.
it all ended Nov. 1963
i like this era but i think in current times there should be people like us who like older stuff because it keeps it relevant and still alive
God Yes. 😩
❤ Just loved this movie ❤
I've known a LOT of girls who came to NYC at a young age and were a notch below hookers, here to have fun, maybe be an actress and hang out with men who gave them $50.00 just for asking for it. Not hookers, but damned close.
The 90's song brought me to the movie, and the movie was treasure to find in my thirties, and remains one of my favourites now. We should all live like those two actors - on the big screen of our lives... 253562
When did we lose our direction
November 1963.
We lost direction when the motion picture industries came under new ownerships and the fast buck became more important than the quality of the writing!
I'd say around mid 1970s and Jaws first came into the movie theaters. Jaws was a Blockbuster which started the summer movie craze which started less and less human stories and dialogue but more action and then bigger action with bigger special effects and...well you get the picture.
love this film very much... ❤️
Holly Golightly is a survivor.. her story in the book was so much harder... Ms. HEPBURN GAVE HER CHARM.. DISCRETION AND FABULOUS STYLE BY GIVENCHY and a timeless dialog. I continue to be a world Nomad because of the theme song MOONRIVER. Waiting for my moment in the rain.
Thank you!
great movie ..i had no idea what it was really about...truman capote master piece
A ageless film not seen today.
Thanks for that.
Blake Edwards started out as a radio writer. He wrote the Richard Diamond radio series with Dick Powell. You can hear the shows on the internet. And they give his writing credit at the end of the shows.
Pura calidad ...!!!!
Audrey Hepburn es y será mi amor platónico...estoy obsesionado con ella...
Cuando habla en español, es lo más exquisito que hay,,,

Sometimes angels become humans to help humans become angels.💖
The best accolade to this film I ever read was put out by a classic film theatre in Detroit. When "Breakfast At Tiffany's" was scheduled to be shown, the capsule description ended with the words " ... it sparkles like diamonds!" Spot on, I'd say!
The PARTY SCENE is BRILLIANT and believe it or not, I've been to parties in NY like that.
Oh how I love, love, love Audrey Hepburn! 💖💖💖
By all accounts, Hepburn was delightful to work with; Patricia Neal, who was featured prominently, said in interviews that George Peppard was insufferable on the set. He thought that he would become the next Paul Newman; within five or six years, he was making B western movies at Universal.
...and went downhill from there, despite his looks! Must have needed the dough an awful lot to have done The A Team!
I wondered why he never became a big star after this movie and then washed up in the mid 1980s in the A-Team TV series
I'm reading the book right now, and Holly Golightly is so racist lol. I love it. I highly recommend reading it. It's only 80pgs.
There can only be one Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
