In our second episode on Audrey Hepburn, we're taking a look at 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Hepburn plays Holly Golightly, a young, quirky "cafe society" girl in New York City in the early 60s. She catches the eye and fascination of a young writer who has just moved into the same apartment building as her. The two form a friendship over the course of the film that begins to build to romantic feelings, which jeopardizes her pursuit of a wealthy husband - as well as her preference to keep her emotions and her vulnerability at arm's length from everyone around her.

Breakfast at Tiffany's was directed by Blake Edwards (arguably best known for the Pink Panther films), adapted from Truman Capote's novella. It became one of Audrey Hepburn's most successful movies, earning her an Oscar nomination, and creating the enduring image of her as the embodiment of chic elegance and glamour.
