I've heard so much about this movie over the years that I felt I just had to see it before I died. What a disappointment! Holly Golightly is not even a very nice person. How many really nice (and I mean nice rather than cute) people throw their cat out into a dark wet alley and tell it to fend for itself, or describe a man, whom they'd been hoping to marry just because he was super rich, as having a face like a pig (after she discovered he was broke)? She dismisses many of her dates as rats and super-rats, but she's little more than a gold-digging escort girl herself. Hardly something to be proud of.
The first half-hour was somewhat amusing. After that it descended into a great deal of silliness. Holly became so shallow that it was difficult for me to see where love came into it, and I began to feel sorry for "Fred" having to spend the rest of his life with her. Perhaps he'll send her back to Doc or even down to Brazil to pursue ever sparser seams of gold?
