... and this film gets lost over time. I believe Audrey is the reason people remember and watch this movie today.
Now, I'm not saying the movie was bad. The visuals were gorgeous, the music was nice, and plot flowed decently. But as I said, I think the movie would've been forgotten if Audrey weren't the star.
I'm watching it for the first time now (first time watching Audrey in anything when she was young, actually) and I can't keep my eyes off her. That's why I came here now. I finally *get* it about her. She is one of the most fetching women I've ever seen.
The movie itself is okay. I'm really watching it for her at this point. I can see why this was one of those iconic roles, like Brando in Streetcar or, a bit more recently, Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop. It's the actor in the role that propels the movie and makes it iconic.
Yeah, I saw this movie for the first time recently too, and watching this movie was the first time I really saw Audrey in a film. She is pretty. I want to see “The Nun’s story” and “Wait Until Dark” next
sharecorrect, because BAT is not a good film. It is just held together by the Hepburn performance
shareFor certain. The novella would have been forgotten, too. People read it today because of the movie. And it's ironic because Capote trashed the movie. He wanted Marilyn Monroe for Holly. Said the film was the most miscast of all times. Ha!
Now it's impossible to imagine Holly Golightly, film or book, without thinking of Audrey Hepburn.
It's not just Audrey Hepburn. It was also "Moon River" and the Givenchy outfits. By then, she had become both a movie star and a fashion model, of sorts, so women were watching her movies for inspiration.
