Trivia:
Holly's pad is much larger than the real-life brownstone used for exteriors. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Holly and Mr. Pereira come from a dinner/party, he brings a banderilla (from the Spanish and not Brazilian folklore) and says "Ole", in Spanish. (Brazilians speak Portuguese). moreQuotes:

In a way Breakfast at Tiffany's is like getting two movies. The first half or so is a light-hearted comedy and the second half is a romantic drama. The entire package is thoroughly engaging. I'm not usually a fan of this genre but I was entertained throughout. What can be said about Ms. Hepburn in this role that hasn't already been said? She is perfect. Except for the odd A-Team rerun, I hadn't seen any of Mr. Peppard's work. In this film, he is the perfect foil for our heroine. The rest of the cast (including Cat) is more than up to par as well, especially Mick Rooney's politically incorrect but hilarious turn as Ms. Golightly's long suffering neighbor. Great film, 8/10.
