Breakfast at Tiffany's

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) starring Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Mickey Rooney. Directed by Blake Edwards. Delightful story of country girl (Hepburn) who moves to New York City and goes "wild," with a cat named Cat. Peppard plays her neighbor, who falls in love with her. I've seen this movie before, but was surprised this time by all the clever twists and turns the plot takes. The only jarring note was the horrible racial stereotyping involved in having Rooney play a Japanese man who lives upstairs in the apartment building. That one misstep was not quite enough to spoil the film for me. Oscar winner for music by Henry Mancini and song ("Moon River"). (English subtitles are provided, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B+
