Eccentric New York socialite Holly Golighty is determined to marry a rich older man. But when a young writer moves in next door, her past threatens to get in the way.
Audrey Hepburn was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, an extravagant tapestry of life in late-50s Manhattan. Based on the novella of the same name by Truman Capote, the film finds the elusive Holly delivering messages for a mobster and courting a marriage with a Brazillian millionaire.
Her life is further complicated by the arrival of Paul Varjak, a struggling writer who becomes infatuated with her. One of the most iconic films of Hollywood’s Golden Age, much of the film’s imagery, lines, and aesthetics have informed the romantic comedy genre as we know it today.
