Description
The names Audrey Hepburn and Holly Golightly have become synonymous since this dazzling romantic comedy was translated to the screen from Truman Capote’s best-selling novella. Holly is a deliciously eccentric New York City playgirl determined to marry a Brazilian millionaire. George Peppard plays her next-door neighbour, a writer who is “sponsored” by a wealthy Patricia Neal. Guessing who’s the right man for Holly is easy. Seeing just how that romance blossoms is one of the enduring delights of this classic gem set to Henry Mancini’s **Oscar**-winning score and the **Oscar**-winning Mancini-Johnny Mercer song “Moon River.” Nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Audrey Hepburn), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Art Direction at the **Academy Awards**. Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Comedy and Best Actress - Comedy or Musical (Audrey Hepburn) at the **Golden Globes**. Winner of Record of the Year and Song of the Year (both for "Moon River") at the **Grammy Awards**. *"A captivating flight into fancy composed of unequal dollops of comedy, romance, poignancy, funny colloquialisms and Manhattan's swankiest East Side areas captured in the loveliest of colors." - A.H. Weiler, **The New York Times*** **Editor's note:** While the iconic imagery of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S has captured the hearts and imaginations of countless viewers worldwide, it would be remiss not to address Mickey Rooney's portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi, which perpetuates a damaging caricature of Asian people found in Western classic media. Since the film's release, the filmmakers have reflected upon the inclusion of the stereotypical character, and we encourage viewers to engage in an open and thoughtful dialogue on this issue in the comment section. Rather than ignoring such representations in classic media, we hope viewers will take this opportunity to discuss the lasting effects these stereotypes can have. If you would like to learn more about Asian representation in the film industry, we recommend watching *The Slanted Screen*, *Edward Said On Orientalism*, and *Slaying the Dragon*, all available on Kanopy.
