SCR Truman Capote, George Axelrod

DP Franz Planer, Philip H. Lathrop

CAST Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen

Winner of two Oscars®, the romantic comedy that sparkles like diamonds! From the opening strains of Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer’s haunting, Oscar®-winning song “Moon River,” you’ll once again be under the alluring spell of that madcap, carefree New York playgirl known as Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) in this 24-carat romantic comedy based of Truman Capote’s best-selling novella. George Peppard is the struggling and “sponsored” young writer who finds himself swept into Holly’s dizzying, delightfully unstructured lifestyle as she determinedly scours Manhattan for a suitable millionaire to marry. Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam and Mickey Rooney co-star; Mancini won an additional Academy Award® for his enthralling musical score. –Paramount

I really did not enjoy this movie. I didn't like any of the characters, I actually really hated Hepburn in this movie, who cares about this rich girl? Also every one seems to forget about Mickey Rooney's incredibly racist performance, I can usually get past older film's portrayal of race if there is something you can get from the experience (Gone with the Wind) but this is just deplorable and this movie sucks.
