268 Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961)

I Love This, You Should Too

Audrey Hepburn month continues as we discuss Samantha’s favourite: Breakfast at Tiffany’s! Of course, we talk about the iconic fashion, fantastic performances, and blatant racism, but also defense mechanisms, recasts and remakes, departures from source material, and whether or not we would actually like Holly Golightly.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards, written by George Axelrod, adapted from Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same name, and starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a naïve, eccentric café society girl who falls in love with a struggling writer while attempting to marry for money. It was theatrically released by Paramount Pictures on October 5, 1961, to critical and commercial success.
