Breakfast At Tiffany's - my thoughts
Another one of those "classic" films I haven't seen.... 
Breakfast at Tiffany's - 3.5/5
I found this a bit slow and it dragged at times TBH
However one of the highlights of the film is definitely Hepburn herself, who is truly beautiful, and superb as carefree, infectious yet naive (I would say) 19 year old playgirl Holly. Someone on another forum called her performance "magical" and I would agree.
Another plus is the music - you will fall in love with the Oscar winning theme "Moon River"
I didnt like the Mr. Yunioshi character though
Lazy racist stereotyping, and anachronistic even in 1961. If a real Japanese guy had been cast and not acted in such a negative way, always being angry, having a characture accent, buck teeth etc.. it would have been better.
