Breakfast At Tiffany's remains one of the most romantic movies of the 20th century. This excellent poster helps us to remember why.

Audrey Hepburn's character, Holly Golightly, is prominently featured on the left side of the poster. The cat perched on her neck and her playful smile complement her chic dress, her jewelry and those elegant and formal long black gloves that are somehow still classic. The artist who drew this poster was very clever: to balance out the picture and give it a sense of symmetry, Hepburn's gaze and cigarette lead us backward into space so that we clearly see Holly Golightly and her boyfriend sharing an intimate romantic moment. This also helps to balance the two images of Holly Golightly and her moment with her boyfriend on the opposite sides of the poster.

Moreover, the poster reads "Audrey Hepburn plays that daring, darling Holly Golightly to a new high in entertainment delight!" The words literally refer to a high point; and Hepburn's upward hairstyle and the Manhattan skyline rising into the air above the lovebirds also emphasize the height, or quality, of the entertainment this movie promises. Excellent!

There is more symmetry in the poster art as well. The yellow border on both the top and the bottom adds symmetry which makes the poster more appealing to the eye. The shades of red and blue add symmetry as well while stoking just a bit of excitement about the picture since they are not the same colors.

If you look closely you will see that there is also an off white border surrounding the entirety of the print. This adds a touch of class and the off white border represents the end of the artwork.

This cleverly designed poster is sure to bring back fond memories for persons who enjoyed the movie when it was initially released in theaters. It was THE "date movie" for millions of people at the time it was released. I also recommend this poster for art aficionados who value artwork to immortalize superior motion picture entertainment.

I got this poster for my daughter her freshman year in college. She's a big Audrey Hepburn fan, and Breakfast at Tiffanys is certainly a classic. The poster was sent directly to her, so I never saw it, but she reported it arrived in fine shape and went straight up on her wall. She was most pleased with this present.

This poster really captures the essence of this film. Audrey Hepburn is Holly Golightly. There is and was only one. It is hard to describe the attraction of this film, yet it still captivates me every time I view it. I think it has something to do with the time and place when it was made, a carefree time that exists no longer and a time when new mores were coming into vogue. It has an IN quality about it, yet underneath it all, there remains a search for what life is really all about and what really makes us happy, in a fulfilling way, after all those cocktails have been downed and the cigarette smoke has cleared. I suppose there is some comment being made about the morality of the lifestyles of both Holly and Paul (George Peppard) Varjak. Both seem to subsist on the money of others (Holly from her numerous men friends and Paul from his older female sexual benefactor Patricia Neal). Hepburn gives her character a glossy veneer of sophistication and a detached indifference for meaningful love and relationships from the opposite sex. Peppard in a very good and underplayed performance seems to be her conscience even though he has a difficult time putting his own life in order. Through all the partying and merriment I found Buddy Ebsen's performance as Doc to be the most touching and moving. He seemed to represent a yearning for a much more simpler and tranquil lifestyle, truly loving his Holly to make it all complete. Ebsen's performance is heartbreaking, as he must leave his Holly in a world very foreign to him, leaving the void in his heart still empty on his journey back home. I think Peppard sees this and knows he must change his ways and also those of Holly for whom he is so attracted. This is a truly wonderful entertaining and rewarding film working on so many levels. This poster truly captures the feel of this film and those great times gone forever.
