... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
... View MoreEven now 57 years after its original release, Breakfast At Tiffany's remains a charming love story between two hustlers of sorts. Audrey Hepburn is not the Holy Golightly that Truman Capote intended, she couldn't be but she was Audrey Hepburn in all of her 1961 glory. Amazing how it still works that Audrey Hepbun touch. George Peppard is gorgeous but impenetrable. Mickey Rooney, unforgivable. Henry Mancini, opportune but. strangely enough the character that fascinated me the most in my latest viewing is Patricia Neal. I would love to see a full movie about that woman. She exudes sensuality and smartness. Blake Edwards concocts a lighter fare from Capote's book and as it happens, it's still very much alive and surprisingly relevant.
... View MoreThis is another of those "classic" movies that are often recommended by critics and by individuals, often making it into lists of best movies of all time. I think I must be one of only a few of my age (and I was alive when this movie was made) who hadn't seen BaT until very recently.Look, it might have been a good movie in its day and some people might have found it amusing and entertaining then or now. I'm afraid I'm not one of them.Yes, Audrey was lovely in a ditsy sort of way and George Peppard was quite OK in the role of Fred in a handsome kind of way. But the story, if there ever really was one, is now terribly dated and the movie must have been pretty damned light weight, even in 1961.As I've noted with other movies from many years ago, one familiar and then original piece of music, in this case "Moon River" does not make a movie and I found myself dreading its coming back as it did time and again throughout the overly long minutes that this movie runs.Breakfast at Tiffany's is trivial and unimportant cinema at best and boring and annoying at worst. I won't be watching it again.
... View MoreHolly Golightly is a superficial, ambitious, money-orientated New York socialite. Paul Varjak, a writer, moves into her building and they become friends. Ultimately Paul falls in love with Holly but will she reciprocate or follow her ambitions?Great movie, with Audrey Hepburn in her definitive role. Warm, sweet and quite emotional with some iconic moments. My favourite would be Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River" while sitting on the fire escape.
... View MoreNo, the years have not been kind to this famous motion picture. However, in any case, I found Audrey Hepburn to be inordinately irritating and juvenile, while George Peppard came across as a rather dumb feller. The part Mickey Rooney played was asinine, plainly ridiculous, fell totally flat, seemed pointless. A few bit parts were extremely well done and helped bring the film up somewhat. 57 years since this movie came out and apparently many people still find it worthy of a very high rating. Well, I ain't one of them, that's for sure. 5/10 max.
