Aug 9th
Breakfast at Tiffany's**
US 1961. Paramount. 115m.

A young writer befriends New York callgirl Holly Golightly who shares her colourful life with a series of prospective husbands.
Charming romantic comedy much sanitised from its original source material, with some good cameos and a star who looks in perfect make-up even at six in the morning. A sentimental delight, for those in the right mood.

Written by: George Axelrod, from the story by Truman Capote.
Producers: Martin Jurow, Richard Shepherd.
Director: Blake Edwards.
Starring: Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Mickey Rooney (a horrendously stereotypical Japanese), Alan Reed, John McGiver, Jose Luis de Vilallonga.
Photography: Franz Planer.
Music: Henry Mancini.

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S. The climactic romantic clench between George Peppard, Audrey Hepburn, and a cat who deserves some sort of feline Oscar.
