Breakfast at Tiffany's is the fourth movie starring Audrey Hepburn I have posted upon. Previously I streamed Funny Face, Charades and Love in the Afternoon. I have her War and Peace and My Fair Lady in que for later in the month.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is on YouTube
The film opens with Holly Golightly, a young woman who lives in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City. She is a high-class escort who is always looking for a wealthy husband. One day, she meets Paul "Fred" Varjak, a struggling writer who has just moved into her apartment building. Paul is immediately smitten with Holly, but she is hesitant to get involved with him because she is afraid of being hurt.
Despite her reservations, Holly and Paul begin to fall in love. They spend their days together exploring New York City and their nights dancing and drinking. However, Holly's past continues to haunt her. She is still haunted by the memory of her childhood in Texas, where she was abused by her parents. She is also afraid of commitment, and she is not sure if she can ever truly love anyone.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a classic romantic comedy that has been praised for its beautiful cinematography, its witty dialogue, and its iconic performances. Audrey Hepburn is particularly memorable as Holly Golightly, and her performance helped to make the film a timeless classic.
Holly Golightly, deriving from a novella by Truman Capote, is a bit difficult to like initially but she quickly grew on me. The ending was emotionally satisfying. The dialogue is funny.
