About this movie

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 gem-like treat set to Henry Mancini's Oscar®-winning score and the Oscar®-winning Mancini-Johnny Mercer song "Moon River."

Ratings and reviews

Wow this movie surprised me a lot, at first I thought it was gonna be a typical Rom-Com, but in my opinion, it is slightly different because dives into some kind of serious topics in a way that mixes great comedic timing and charming/depressing life experiences, this movie has a perfect mix of almost everything I like, even the music was great, now Moon River is one of my favorite songs. The only thing I didn't like was the Chinese character, because it was depicted in a very racist way.

I once saw the movie at the national film theater in London, a romantic classic , love to see it again some time :-)

I've seen this movie several times... And I have never gotten bored of it. Such a classic romance!
