So, this is it. After weeks of reviews, the 1961 Audrey Hepburn classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s tops my list of films to see before you die. Adapted from the Truman Capote novel, the film follows Holly Golightly (Hepburn) as the New York socialite from her friendship with new neighbour Paul Varjack (Peppard) to her weather reports for Sally Tomato at Sing Sing prison.
Holly dreams of marrying a millionaire, her dreams are those of any girls. I remember the first time I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s and I was mesmerised by Audrey Hepburn, her style and charisma, is like no other. The final scene in rain soaked New York when Holly kicks Cat, her cat out of the cab and then falls into the arms of Paul, is one of the most romantic scenes I have ever seen.
With Moonriver echoing in the background, Breakfast at Tiffany’s enchants and moves people. It may not go down well with the boys, but girls, you need to see this!
