It’s the movie that inspired the perfect LBD, a one-hit wonder and, of course, tons of Audrey Hepburn copycats and paraphernalia (including an IKEA poster). Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of the most original cinematic romantic comedies of all time, and it’s playing at the Yonge & Dundas Cinemas this Saturday.

The 1961 movie is loosely based on the novella by Truman Capote. In the book, Hepburn’s character, Holly Golightly, was less of a stylish waif party girl and more of a call girl. Capote had originally wanted Marilyn Monroe to play the role (the two were friends), and apparently he was disappointed in Hepburn’s casting. It’s a shocker, we know, because as much as we love Monroe, we can’t picture anyone else but a Givenchy-clad Hepburn on Fifth Avenue, decked out in pearls, holding a pastry in one hand and a coffee in the other.

While we do think this movie is cinematic confection (and we’re excited to see how stunning Holly’s fashion looks on the big screen), we could do without Mickey Rooney’s pretty racist take on the Japanese neighbour. We know it was the ’60s, but c’mon.
