Review Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

[High Plains Drifter]

 

[Elliot Thomas]

Hepburn was never more irresistible cutting a chic, beautiful figure as charming New York socialite (ahem, escort!) Holly Golightly. Apparently co-star Peppard was an absolute nightmare to work with. It doesn't come across in their scenes together though. George Axelrod’s script sanitises the Truman Capote novella, mainly for censorship reasons, but it's still a delectable fairy tale that remains extremely popular to this day; Mickey Rooney’s character (an irate Japanese neighbour!!) is dated and ridiculous
