DVD Reviews of Breakfast At Tiffany's - Paramount Centennial Collection (Mastered in High Definition)
DVD Review: Young, dumb, and full of ... issues
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, Tiffany fans, here's a question ... Would you feel even the remotest bit of affection or sympathy towards this shallow, amoral, self-destructive, annoying, insane lead character if she weren't played by Audrey Hepburn? Admittedly, Hepburn is just cute as a button here. But imagine Mercedes McCambridge or Susan Tyrell playing Holly Golightly. Doesn't seem so pretty anymore, does it? Trust me, when Golightly loses her looks, her mannerisms will become far less charming and George Peppard's character will be looking to dump her off at the nearest mental institution. Peppard plays the classic male idiot whose fragile self-worth is defined by "saving" some woman, preferably one that is petite and fetching. I would almost give this film high marks for accurately portraying such a mutually destructive partnership of misery, if it weren't for the fact that the film ends too early. It would have been intriguing to see these characters 20 years later, with the emotional carnage such a union typically begets. As it is, "Tiffany's" is a phony and socially irresponsible romantic fantasy. DVD Review: "Stunningly Beautiful"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Breakfast At Tiffany's" is one of those Hollywood films that never ages. A beautifully acted and well-crafted film, "Breakfast" is one of my all-time favorite movies from the 1960's. Starring Audrey Hepburn in a role she was born to play, Audrey plays a young woman living in New York City trying to find Mr. Right while working in the oldest profession in the book. The undertone and subtext of the film is evident to modern audiences in that Hepburn is playing a high-class prostitute. Is is this particular role that shows the world that call-girls are not just the ones walking in dark alleys while being drug-addicted. Hepburns's portrayal of her role is real and honest as there are many in this particular profession who are beautiful, articulate, witty, and exquisite. The viewer falls in love with Audrey's character Holly as well as Audrey herself as her role is one of the most likable in film history.
"Breakfast At Tiffany's" is also known for its mesmerizing score by Henri Mancini who won an Oscar as well as another for the theme song "Moon River" co-written by Johnny Mercer. The supporting cast is one of Hollywood's best with the marvelous George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Mickey Rooney, and Martin Balsam.
This lovely DVD release is the Anniversary Edition featuring commentary by producer Richard Sheperd, the featurette "The Making of a Classic", theatrical trailer, and more. The DVD case is enclosed in a beautiful pink cardboard case for safe-keeping. Movies like this are rare. Enjoy!

This product was in excellent condition. Unfortunately, I had never seen this movie, love Audrey but was not quite as taken with the movie as everyone else said I would be. I guess I am more of a Roman Holiday type.DVD Review: Just Flawless!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a beautiful movie...Audrey Hepburn looked just adorable from the first to the last scene, her sense of style so immaculate, so perfect that it is no wonder she remains a Fashion Icon to this day. Peppard looked very handsome and masculine and is better than Brando in the looks department. Patricia was perfect in her role. Mickey's character was not that racist, one must remember that the 2nd World War ended only 15 years back and many had had a bad time ( Hepburn ) or even participated in it in some sort of a way; who knows maybe the director or someone might have lost a relative or a friend, so the inclusion of this character was justifiable for that time. However, Mickey's makeup reminded me of a Jap character in Tintin's "Blue Lotus". Mickey was great in the last scene when he helps the Police identify Holly. Overall, a great watch and is a good candidate for a repeat watch.
Yucky, 3rd class Sarah Jessica Parker tries to imitate Audrey in Sex and the City. Sarah is a cheap American slut with fake tits and a face like shredded cabbage.
DVD Review: The edition I've been waiting for and didn't even know it!
Summary: 5 Stars
"He's all right! Aren't you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's." --easily my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie and this version only compliments the timeless style and elegance of Audrey!
Well, I had intended on logging in and writing this long review about Paramount's latest release of the Audrey Hepburn classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's"; however, Dennis A. Amith (kndy) has written probably the best review I've read concerning this release, so I'll have to defer.
Looks like the best I can do is chime in with yet another 5 star!!
Description of Breakfast At Tiffany's - Paramount Centennial Collection (Mastered in High Definition)
Genre: Drama
Rating: NR
Release Date: 13-JAN-2009
Media Type: DVD
No film better utilizes Audrey Hepburn's flighty charm and svelte beauty than this romantic adaptation of Truman Capote's novella. Hepburn's urban sophisticate Holly Golightly, an enchanting neurotic living off the gifts of gentlemen, is a bewitching figure in designer dresses and costume jewelry. George Peppard is her upstairs neighbor, a struggling writer and "kept" man financed by a steely older woman (Patricia Neal). His growing friendship with the lonely Holly soon turns to love and threatens the delicate balance of both of their compromised lives. Taking liberties with Capote's bittersweet story, director Blake Edwards and screenwriter George Axelrod turn New York into a city of lovers and create a poignant portrait of Holly, a frustrated romantic with a secret past and a hidden vulnerability. Composer Henry Mancini earned Oscars for the hit song "Moon River" and his tastefully romantic score. The only sour note in the whole film is Mickey Rooney's demeaning performance as the apartment's Japanese manager, an offensively overdone stereotype even in 1961. The rest of the film has weathered the decades well. Edwards's elegant yet light touch, Axelrod's generous screenplay, and Hepburn's mix of knowing experience and naivet? combine to create one of the great screen romances and a refined slice of high society bohemian chic. --Sean Axmaker
