“It's London in the late-60s and two young actors living on the edge of reality decide to go for a small retreat in the countryside. The rest is history...
“What is the idea behind John Huston's 1951 adventure-romance other than putting Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn on a riverboat in Africa and see what happens? The world becomes reduced to the clanky titular ship and the passing jungle, an elemental landscape in which Bogart's worldly wisecracks and Hepburn's clipped pronouncements can flourish.
Bogart plays a cold-hearted tycoon whose sole companion in life is The Wall Street Journal. Holden is his wastrel brother, and Hepburn the chauffeur's daughter. Yes, you've guessed what happens. Holden fools around with her, she attempts suicide, is sent to France, returns to melt Bogart's heart, and Holden is left to chair the board.
“Breakfast at Tiffany's is a prime example of a film that can split the audience from the critics. While it seems to spell magic for many, it is a movie that leaves itself open for vilification.
