"Audrey Hepburn plays Holly Golightly, the craziest heroine who ever crept between the pages of a best-selling novel!" The basic story involves Holly Golightl (Hepburn), a New York, free-spirited party girl, who is a high-priced "escort", an aspiring socialite who is looking for an older, rich man to marry, to try to improve her life. When she starts falling in love with a young novelist, Paul Varjak ("Fred"), played by George Peppard, who moves into her apartment building, being a gigolo, kept by an older woman (Patricia Neal). Both their lives become more complicated, as a result of their relationship. While considered by many as a "frothy comedy",
there are dramatic overtones throughout the movie. The moments of intense
sadness work with the moments of hopeful optimism to make this film
uplifting and unforgettable, a beautifully romantic tale. "It has
just the right balance of lightness and heaviness, with well-explored
characters that change before our eyes." Some critics have a problem with George Peppard, as a stand-in for the young Truman Capote. Others think it was terrific casting decision. "Hepburn and Peppard are undoubtedly the cutest coupling to hit the silver screen." My feeling is that if Truman, (who wrote the story), didn't mind, why should I? George Axelrod wrote the entertaining and sophisticated
screenplay, based on Truman Capote's novel. However, Hollywood had Axelrod
change the original dark and depressing ending, over Capote's objections,
to please the masses, and ended the film on an upbeat note. If you enjoyed BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS you may like "My Fair Lady," "Pretty Woman," "Emma," and/or "Clueless." |
