One of the great New York films, swathing the city in a layers of dewy love and glossy chic. [Review of re-release] Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

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. Read full review

A. H. Weiler

Like that storied novella by Truman Capote from which it stems, it is a completely unbelievable but wholly captivating flight into fancy composed of unequal dollops of comedy, romance, poignancy, funny colloquialisms and Manhattan's swankiest East Side areas captured in the loveliest of colors.

Audrey Hepburn is delicious as Holly and the Henry Mancini score is in the class of elite soundtracks. [Review of re-release] Read full review

This story of a party girl (Audrey Hepburn) in love with a gigolo (George Peppard) allows Edwards to create a very handsome film, with impeccable Technicolor photography by Franz Planer. [Review of re-release] Read full review

This movie is definitely a classic for all those who love the Golden Age of Hollywood. It is a cute movie. Audrey Hepburn makes the movie with her beauty and elegance. It is a nice movie. Not my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie, but it is definitely a cute one.

Still, the whole thing works, and by the final corn-ball scene in the rain you're hooked and it's quite touching. Everyone talks about this movie as 'classic' and how sophisticated, elegant, and beautiful Audrey Hepburn is...but I really wonder how many have actually seen it! Definitely worth seeing.… Expand

My opinion is that this film has not stood the test of time. Yes, the plot is logical, the characters are logical in what they do (even if what they do is illogical) and the acting is solid.

It's just that newer movies have copied or processed further the events of this one so many times that they are no longer unique. I gave the movie 7, If you like romantic drama with a bit of comedy you can easily give this movie a 9.… Expand

I confess that I expected something more from this film. It's good, but it's not as good as I thought it would be. Basically, it tells the story of a gold digger, a luxury prostitute who wants to marry a rich man and get on with life in the simplest way ... but who ends up falling in love with a man who is everything she was not looking for .

Well, this is one of those films that is based on the performance of an actor, in this case Audrey Hepburn. She is beautiful and is at her best in this film. The film has an impact and strength because of her and her extraordinary performance. Even so, I agree with many critics who say that this film is not even the best she has ever made, although this discussion is subjective. It is however the most famous. George Peppard is also good, but he never gets to meet her. On the negative side, I hated to see Mickey Rooney bring a Japanese to life according to the most deeply prejudiced and insulting stereotype. I already talked a little about the script, but honestly I thought that the story told tells me very little and that the main character is deeply unpleasant due to its materialism and futility. Another actress in that role and the film would probably be forgotten in the present, as many have been.

Finally, a word to the soundtrack, which is the best and most interesting technical detail of the film. Composed by Henry Mancini, it features the famous and touching song "Moon River".… Expand

Resumindo: é um filme cheio de esteriótipos, onde faz uma crítica que não funciona, colocaram dois atores bonitos, muito bonitos para fazerem caras e bocas e falarem frases de duplo sentido e na maior parte diálogos inteligente que leva em dúvida o devido trabalho de ambos, um romanceResumindo: é um filme cheio de esteriótipos, onde faz uma crítica que não funciona, colocaram dois atores bonitos, muito bonitos para fazerem caras e bocas e falarem frases de duplo sentido e na maior parte diálogos inteligente que leva em dúvida o devido trabalho de ambos, um romance forçado, uma personagem principal falastrona e um galã ouvinte que bera o ridículo, mas em compensação o figurino e a fotografia estão bem posicionados, bem aconchegante é luxuoso, mas o filme não passa de um pedaço de roteiro mal escrito e cheio de machismo, um filme que não deveria nem concorrer ao Oscar, mas antigamente só bastava ter nome em Hollywood pra concorrer ao Oscar, o filme não desenvolveu bem a personalidade do protagonista masculino, meio que ficou solto no ar o verdadeiro propósito dele, já a personagem feminino e totalmente uma crítica a mulher independente e que busca o luxo, de uma forma machista ele faz um jogo com Telespectadores, alem de ser totalmente fútil e ambiciosa, ,deixando a personagem saturada é muito exibida é muito caricata, uma decepção! Um roteiro preguiçoso é muito usado pra filmes sem propósito hoje em dia, lamentável e a palavra mais correta, esperava mais, uma coisa funciona bem - Fotografia, Figurino e Química dos personagens, mas o roteiro peca em não aproveita tudo isso, um filme arrastado e monótono, bem abaixo de sua época, Sou apaixonado por filmes com roteiro e atuações ótimas e esse filme não tem nem um dos dois, nem a Audrey Hepburn conseguiu leva o filme a outro patamar, e um filme bem descartável.… Expand
