It is difficult to think of an actress more beautiful and captivating than Audrey Hepburn. Along with Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's attests her as a beauty and style icon of Hollywood, probably higher than contemporaries, predecessors and successors. Her ‘little black dress’ and ‘that cigarette holder’ are still remembered with smile. Based on Truman Capote’s novella by the same name, Breakfast At Tiffany’s is a romcom that doesn’t try to form opinion against characters against moral grounds.
Holly is a café-society girl who is in search for a rich husband. Paul, a writer without much to write about, is her new neighbor. Like Holly, Paul is also living a life of parasite. He is toyboy for a rich socialite. Apart from gloss laden dreams of a better future, Holly has a past. She married in her teens and got her marriage annulled. But her husband is not over it. He is not dangerous but is emotional and this is the reason why Holly doesn’t want to confront him. However, she does. Amidst all chaos in life, Paul and Holly comes close. Paul breaks up and decides to express to Holly but Paul is not the man Holly wants. Will they be together?
Film revolves around two characters played by Audrey and George Peppard. Both play their part well without being exceptional. However, they are able to add the necessary element of restlessness which makes them look so close to reality. One of the most fanciful stories is made real by brilliant execution by Blank Edwards. The light moments especially one at Tiffany’s make this a great treat for connoisseurs.
