Is Carrie Bradshaw the spiritual granddaughter of Holly Golightly? How do you take a plotless novella about a call girl and her gay best friend and make it into a mythic romance? Find out when you join us for a conversation about the alchemy of romance, comedy, and drama that makes "Breakfast at Tiffany's" stand the test of time.
From the genre-defying narrative to Audrey Hepburn's enchanting performance as Holly Golightly. Tony and Brad discuss the transformative journey of Truman Capote's novella to the iconic 1961 film. Venture beyond the surface with their deep-dive character analyses, where they peel back the layers of Holly and Paul Varjak's complex relationship.
The two explore George Axelrod's screenwriting wizardry and the strategic casting Audrey and George Peppard and examine the tension between the film's polished Hollywood exterior and the grittier truths of its literary origins.
No discussion about "Breakfast at Tiffany's" can exclude Mickey Rooney's controversial portrayal in the film and the subsequent backlash from the Asian Pacific Islanders group.
