No name slob


Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Directed by Blake Edwards this film based on the novel of the same name stars Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard and Patricial Neal. An aspiring writing moves into the flat above an eccentric cafe society girl.

There is plenty that is iconic about this film from Hepburn's career defining performance to the style and humour of the film. It is nice that the film also has plenty of depth in Holly Golightly and her relationship with the protagonist. Where the film falls down sadly is the use of Mickey Rooney in yellow face as a racist stereotype but that is really the only blemish on an otherwise excellent film.

4/5
