This film has been a landmark in the history of cinema. One of those classic films you can never miss that is still trendy nowadays. Starring Audrey Hepburn, one of my favourite actresses, George Peppard, Mickey Rooney and José Luis de Villalonga, a Spanish actor who has recently died. It´s based upon a novel by Truman Capote although the final result doesn’t match a lot the book. The main character is Holly Golightly, a melancholic New Yorker woman whose life changes when a new neighbour called Paul arrives. It can be considered a comedy film although some people say it actually is a drama disguised as a comedy.
My favourite scenes which I think are the most famous, are the first and the very last one. During the first one we can see Holly getting off a taxi wearing sunglasses and a beautiful long black dress wich was later sold for the record price of 467.200 pounds. She´s having a croissant with coffe in front of Tiffany`s shop window, staring at its brilliant jewellers. “Moonriver” is the background music all the scene long, a moving song composed by Henry Mancini wich was even more famous than the film. Audrey herself sings it later.
In the last scene, Holly is looking for her cat desperately. It´s raining hard and she has just had an argument with Paul. When she finally finds her no-name cat completely wet, Paul shows up. They get closer and they kiss each other as “Moonriver” sounds in the background announcing that the end of this superb film has come.
In my opinion, Breakfast at Tiffany`s is a great film that should be seen by everybody so they can have an opinion about it. Sometimes it can become a little slow because we´re used to the present action films. It´s true that it´s fairly sad at some points and not only a comedy film. On balance, I think it´s a film that you never get tired of watching if you enjoyed it the first time, mostly if you can see such as a great actress as Audrey Hepburn working in it.
