Breakfast at Tiffany's

Director: Blake Edwards

1961 / 115min / 35mm

Audrey Hepburn charms in her signature role as Holly Golightly, the happily single heroine of Truman Capote’s novella, who exerts a tractor-beam pull on smitten writer George Peppard, the kept man of Patricia Neal, dressed to the height of Manhattanite sophistication by Pauline Trigère. Edwards made elaborate party scenes his trademark, and here gets in one of his best, abetted by a fantastic Henry Mancini soundtrack, including “Moon River,” given an unforgettable treatment by Hepburn.
