In an idealized New York City during the early '60s,
Holly Golightly (
Audrey Hepburn) is a charming socialite with a youthful zest for life who lives alone in a nearly bare apartment. She has such a flippant lifestyle that she won't even give her cat a name, because that would be too much of a commitment to a relationship. Maintaining a childlike innocence yet wearing the most perfect of designer clothes and accessories from Givenchy, she spends her time on expensive dates and at high-class parties. She escorts various wealthy men, yet fails to return their affections after they have given her gifts and money.
Holly's carefree independence is changed when she meets her neighbor, aspiring writer
Paul (
George Peppard), who is suffering from writer's block while being kept by a wealthy woman (
Patricia Neal). Just when
Holly and
Paul are developing their sweet romance,
Doc (
Buddy Ebsen) appears on the scene and complicates matters, revealing the truth about
Holly's past.
Breakfast at Tiffany's was nominated for several Academy awards, winning Best Score for
Henry Mancini and Best Song for
Johnny Mercer's classic tune
"Moon River".
