Breakfast at
Tiffany’s, motion picture based on the novel by Truman
Capote about a young woman who lives a freewheeling life in New York
City. Released in 1961, this film won an Academy Award for its music, and stars
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. Holly appears to be some sort of
socialite, but she also lurks around with gangsters, and is clearly hiding
something about her source of income and her mysterious past. This film features
the hit song “Moon River.”
