Throughout the movie we see that the closer Paul gets to uncovering who Holly really is, the more she clams up. We get a taste of who she really is when her ex-husband comes to town and when she finds out that her beloved brother Fred has died.
This is a wonderful film that has been enjoyed throughout the decades. The only bad part is the unfortunate racist performance by Mickey Rooney as an Asian photographer, which compacts every stereotype possible into one character. However, despite that offensive blemish, this is a very enjoyable film.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a charming romantic comedy about eccentric New York City call girl Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) and her neighbor, Paul Varjak (George Peppard). Holly's determination to marry a Brazillian millionaire causes much conflict when Paul, a writer who is "sponsored" by an older woman (Patricia Neal) falls in love with her. The romance gets even more complicated when Holly's husband, Doc (Buddy Ebsen) shows up wanting Holly back. This classic romance comedy is based on Truman Capote's novella and is sure to please.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a light hearted feel good movie about new romance and finding one's self. Holly Golightly is trying to run away from her past by changing her name and moving to New York. But when she meets Paul Harvak, a struggling writer who is 'supposedly sponsored' by Patricia Neal, he bring out the truth in her and makes her find her true self. Breakfast at Tiffany's is a great movie for the romantics, but lacks certain action, the movie is basically based around Holly and Paul's love for each other and nothing else. 9/10.

Audrey Hepburn has a large repertoire of stellar performances, but perhaps none was so unique as her role of Holly Golightly in the screen adaptation of Truman Capote's
"Breakfast at Tiffany's." Holly finds more than "a huckleberry friend" in George Peppard, who plays Paul, the aspiring writer. Their relationship bounces back and forth, but all the time building the inevitable steam for the grand--and inevitable--conclusion. This is a romantic movie with a capital "R"--but one that never sinks into sentimentality or melodrama. It's well-directed by Blake Edwards with Oscar winning music by Henry Mancini ("Moon River").

Excellent adaptation from Truman Capote's novel. The story was about a free spirited and helpless Holly Golightly who afraid of love and commitments until she met Paul Varjak.
