Summary:

Members Choice film:Breakfast at Tiffany's

Audrey Hepburn plays Holly Golightly, the craziest heroine who ever crept between the pages of a best-selling novel!

A lonely, struggling writer becomes enchanted with his neighbour, Holly Golightly: an independent young woman who strives to be a high-climbing socialite with a penchant for high-fashion and wild parties. She tries to achieve her goal by working as an expensive escort, in the hope that she will someday meet a rich husband to finance her material needs. But, soon he uncovers her vulnerability and finds out that she has at heart.
 

Reviews:

'Out of the elusive, but curiously intoxicating Truman Capote fiction, scenarist George Axelrod has developed a surprisingly moving film, touched up into a stunningly visual motion picture.'  
Variety

'Woven into this heady romance is chic Hollywood comedy at it's finest, combined with evocative cinematography. And key to allowing seamless transitions between melodrama and humour is the superb music score from the underrated Henry Mancini'. 
BBC

'Tiffany's is actually one of the few films not to be greatly harmed by its flaws. Audrey Hepburn is delicious as Holly and the Henry Mancini score is in the class of elite soundtracks.'
