This black dress is so famous. Evergreen glam I should call it. Breakfast At Tiffany's most elegant black dress.Holly Golightly (AUDREY HEPBURN) lives in a brownstone on Manhattan's swank East Side. Totally madcap, she has a partially furnished apartment, owns a cat with no name, gets rid of the "mean reds" by visiting Tiffany's jewelry store, and is forever misplacing her door key, much to the dismay of her upstairs neighbor Mr. Yunioshi (MICKEY ROONEY), a Japanese photographer. Holly makes her living in two ways: she receive $50 from her gentlemen escorts whenever she needs powder room money, and she is paid $100 for each weekly trip she makes to Sing Sing Prison, where she visits Sally Tomato (ALAN REED), an ex-mobster.
One day Paul Varjak (GEORGE PEPPARD), a young writer who is supported by an older woman nicknamed "2E" (PATRICIA NEAL), comes into Holly's life. Following one of Holly's wild cocktail parties hosted by her Hollywood agent, O.J. Berman (MARTIN BALSAM), Paul unexpectedly meets Doc Golightly (BUDDY EBSEN), a gentle Texan whom Holly married when she was only 15 years old. Holly explains to Paul that the marriage was annulled long ago, and he helps her send the heartbroken Doc away.
After a day on the town together, Paul realizes that he is in love with Holly and proposes to her; but she is determined to marry José (VILALLONGA), a South American millionaire. However, when it is publicly revealed that Holly has been innocently carrying narcotics ring information from Sally Tomato to his New York associates, the stuffy José abandons her. Furious at everything and everyone, Holly kicks Cat out of her taxicab into the rain and decides to leave town for Brazil, but Paul lectures her and then goes out to find Cat. Holly realizes how much she is giving up and races through the wet New York streets to a happy reunion with Paul and Cat.
It's 3:54 a.m. in the morning when I'm typing this. I had nothing to do and I didn't feel sleepy yet so I watched Breakfast At Tiffany's on YouTube. Yeah, free movie all night long. *grin :D Audrey Hepburn (not Hepbrumm...) is so damn cute and cool, gila-gila type while the man, George Peppard is hunky and dashing. Oh, I love the song called Moon River that was played at the end of the movie. Dont' worry, Buble, you still sing it better.
I love the last part, I played it over and over again. It is when Paul proposed Holly and then she ran out of the cab in the falling rain, calling and looking for her cat named.. well excuse me Sir, her cat's name is 'CAT'.
... Can't help to laugh to see this... Can you see Cat is sandwiched between the two lovers. Nahhh, now Cat will get a new daddy and mommy won't be alone and cranky again.
Actually, this movie was hard to digest in the early scenes. Yeah, Hepburn's acccent gave me a bum! Why did I say so? For me, she's like grumbling when actually she's talking, struggle. to talk. It's like a combination of English accent when it meets American. I hate to repeat this once again. She's cute, so cute. Yes, from what I understood Holly is a socialite but for me she's a head spinner high shot's escort, a high class excort. She's living they way she wants and she knows how to look for money.
I would like to give this romantic comedy, 4 stars.
