Breakfast At Tiffany's

Audrey Hepburn's most fondly remembered film is eminently worthy of that honor. Screenwriter George Axelrod may have departed considerably from Truman Capote's literary creation of Holly Golightly, but he wrote a character who is perfectly suited to the incandescent Miss Hepburn. You would have to be made of stone not to be moved by the final scene that has Holly finding Cat (and herself) in the pouring rain while the strains of Moon River rise up on the soundtrack. Director Blake Edwards' opening sequence, filmed early on a Sunday morning on Manhattan's 5th Avenue, is one of the most graceful scenes in movie history, recalling a New York that, after September 11th, will probably never exist again.
