Now i get why people love Audrey Hepburn, and love this movie, amazing indeed.

Way too fluffly for my taste, but I could easily get lost in the cozy/chaotic aesthetics of 1960's midtown, and for that reason alone it was worth the viewing.

A beautifully filmed movie. You get sucked into Miss Golightly's furniture-less world very easily.

This movie has an undeniable charm about it thanks to the lovely Audrey Hepburn. Mickey Rooney on the other hand...

Good film but the humour hasn't aged very well.

Very shallow and disturbing movie about a narcissistic golddigger who is deeply self-absorbed and lacks empathy. It is not`touching` or `charming` in any way, it is just ugly and tragic.

the first Audrey Hepburn movie I've watched. She's great, and so beautiful! Good acting from her.

I agree with @Audrina. The movie is beautifully shot, but the moral of the story is horrendous.

This film reminded me of that one Bertrand Russell quote "To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead."

I said I think I remember the film and yes I recall I think we both kinda liked it and I said well that's the one thing we got.

The only thing that really bugged me about this film (and no it wasn't Micky Rooney), was the ending. Paul finally says what we the audience have been thinking throughout the whole film, but it's with only three minutes left, there isn't enough time for Holly to redeem herself!

Instead, we're just supposed to assume she's changed because she corrects the other more trivial mistake she made a few minutes before, throwing the cat out into the rain.

Some sort of epilogue showing a change in Holly's character would have been handy.

Very enjoyable film otherwise though.

Very enjoyable experience indeed. Not only was it more daring than I would have expected from a 1961 big studio romance (though Holly Golightly's employment as a prostitute was kind of glossed over), but its central theme of finding oneself is a universal one. The romance felt adult, the characters have charm to spare, and the comedy mostly works, with the possible exception of Mickey Rooney in "yellow face" playing a "comical" Japanese stereotype. Was Jerry Lewis not available? As if to beg forgiveness, the DVD includes a featurette on racism in films of the era, especially as relates to Asians (didn't watch it, it wasn't my disc). Stealing the show, however, is the nameless cat, one of the very best feline actors I've ever seen on film. Poor thing doesn't know it's a metaphor, but looking exactly like the cat in Inside Llewyn Davis, and just as central to the film WHICH ALSO TAKES PLACE IN 1961. Spooky.
