Editorial Reviews
Winner of two Oscars®, here's the romantic comedy that sparkles like diamonds! From the opening strains of Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer's haunting, Oscar®-winning song "Moon River," you'll once again be under the alluring spell of that madcap, carefree New York playgirl known as Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) in this 24-carat romantic comedy based on Truman Capote's best-selling novella. George Peppard is the struggling and "sponsored" young writer who finds himself swept into Holly's dizzying, delightfully unstructured lifestyle as she determinedly scours Manhattan for a suitable millionaire to marry. The sparkling special features on this Anniversary Edition DVD only add to the luster of director Blake Edwards' timeless film classic. Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam and Mickey Rooney co-star; Mancini won an additional Academy Award® for his enthralling musical score.

Paul is a man who seems to be living an aimless life. He lives off his sponsor/lover, as he struggles to become a successful writer. He also lives in the apartment above Holly’s. When he and Holly get acquainted, he gets intrigued by her messed up life, interesting quirks and nonstop chattiness. The more he gets to know her, the most inspired he is to write. Soon a desire in him to protect and take care of her, is awakened.
Both Holly and Paul fall in love, this leads Holly to run-away (being so afraid of love/attachment), while Paul instead straightens his life out so he can take care of Holly. Paul doesn’t give up easily on Holly, until he finally breaks through her walls and facade. This movie is a very good romance/drama with quirky/goofy humor and character nuance that shows, instead of tells, the character growth… a lovely movie.
It is a classic 1960's romantic comedy. It's acting is superb, and the plot is complex enough by Hollywood standards. You really have to be interested in this genre to get excited about this movie. It was never intended to do the same thing that some other movies of the same period are designed to do. Not overly dramatic like John Wayne, nor hilariously funny like Jerry Lewis or Doris Day.
But still a nice way to spend an evening. Certainly better than anything that appears in theaters today.
I did enjoy one thing though, the fashion aspect of it. It's interesting to see the looks and styles that were the in thing of the time.
So if you're into slow paced romance with not a lot happening and a lead who is kind of annoying then you will probably like this.
After the first showing of the full edit for the studio the execs —i.e., morons, —one of the studio corporate goons says, (with Johnny Mercer in the room),
"I don't know about the rest of this damn'd film, that damn'd song can sure go!" —can you imagine?!
Johnny Mercer, in March 1971, at the 92st 'Y', gave a lecture about his life's work. He sang songs and told us stories.
It was a wonderful 2 hours. I am a song writer, and every song writer within 100 mile radius was there.
Margaret Whiting was also there and sang the female parts. SHE was amazing.
Johnny's story rings deadly true, as I understand that other studio execs also fought to remove the song "Moon River". Of course, Blake Edwards was FAR more intelligent than Hollywood studio execs.
After Johnny finished this story, he began singing the chorus at a boastful volume, with great triumph in his voice.
Everyone had a great laugh.
I wonder who decided to use Audrey Hepburn (not a singer) and present the song in such a simple and sparse form? It was a WISE decision, as this Hepburn's version remains the finest example of the song.
Johnny won an an OSCAR and "Moon River" ended up making him more money than any of the other 200 -odd songs in his catalogue.
You think Smokey Robinson is America's greatest poet? Sure, he is good, but he still has a tad further to go to make to Johnny Mercer-land.
Or, perhaps, Johnny is our greatest SOUTHERN poet; —not sure.
"Save The Bones For Henry Jones", remains my favourite...—or maybe "Old Cowhand". Or "The Murder of J.B. Markham", "GI Jive", "Blues In The Night", "Skylark", "I Remember You", "Too Marvelous For Words", "Jeepers Creepers" (Louis Armstrong version), "On The Atchison, Topeka, And The Santa Fe", "My Sugar Is So Refined", "Glow Worm", "Baby It's Cold Outside", "The Freedom Train", "That Old Black Magic", "I Wanna Be Around", "Laura", "Midnight Sun", "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)", "Satin Doll", "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive?", Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home", "Bob White", "Shortnin' Bread",...
Ah, Mercer is just, "Too Marvelous For Words". —Sorry, there are a hundred more, but I haven't the time.
BTW: Many shots in the film are from my neighbour and even my street. Only in the past 20 years has Manhattan changed for the worst). Time's Square has been sterilised by Disney, and the closest thing we have to a middle-class are DINKS working on Wall Street. Despite the Hollywood writing and life condensation, this movie captures the Manhattan I knew and loved better than any other flicker.
YES, I had a fire escape that was used for all purposes and 10 coats of paint on everything. —This is fact; My flat on 77th St. had the exact same stove and sink as Holly Golightly's flat. —It was all "free" with rent stabilisation. The parties WERE like the Movie showed (except, some of the ciggies were home-made, and people were drinking whoopie Kool-aide). —All ages and backgrounds. As long as you could be crazy for 8 -12 hours, your were invited.
And my neighbours were splendid. I was a younger one, but my best freinds were all over 60. We all knew, loved and hated each other for over 20 years. During the big black out, we had a heck of a grand stoop party. There was never a 4th of July that did not find all the neighbours, together, trekking to the east side river. I miss then all so much. Most of the building's former middle-class 'lifers' are now long gone. There is no longer a place for real people in Manhattan. —Just another evil gift from the Trump family. —Can ALL the Trumps be imprisoned for a LONG time? I'd sure sleep easier.
BTW: Robert Redford (c. 1960) might have done a better job than George Peppard. I think Peppard was slightly too old for the role. Redford was at that perfect age and look. —Damn good actor as well. Micky Rooney, Martin Balsam, and Buddy Ebson were great.
And The Park NEVER changes. It's wild how the same style benches and lamp lights are still there. And every rock is exactly the same.
Anyway, I am now watching this movie through adult eyes and though I find Mickey Rooney's Japanese character highly offensive he is such a small part in the film that he does not take away from the beauty of the film. Two lost souls finding each other and falling in love despite outside forces that would work to keep them apart. It is fun movie filled with some bizarre characters that shows that whatever challenges one may have in one's life you can still find happiness and have some fun while living it.
Highly recommend this movie!!!!!
