Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Blake Edwards, loosely adapted by George Axelrod from Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same name. Audrey Hepburn stars as Holly Golightly; also in the cast are George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and (in a notorious yellowface role) Mickey Rooney.Well-known for being the movie in which Hepburn wears a fabulous black Givenchy dress and holds a cigarette in a holder, and introduces Henry Mancini's Academy Award-winning song "Moon River" while strumming a guitar on a fire escape. In this version Holly probably isn't a hooker (though she does seek out wealthy men to have flings with, more like an old-world courtesan), while the story's nameless gay writer is now a straight gigolo (or something close to it) named Paul Varjak, who has a tumultuous relationship with Holly.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Adaptational Sexuality: The unnamed narrator in Capote's novel has an ambiguous sexuality, but it's fairly certain that his feelings for Holly are asexual. In the film, he becomes a straight love interest, Paul. In the novella, Holly has a line or two suggesting she is bisexual. Being that this was 1960s Hollywood, any mention of this is removed in the film aside from taking off her sunglasses at a stripper.

Actor Allusion: Paul's "decorator" says to him, "I do believe love has found Andy Hardy." Andy Hardy was the lead character of a series of films (including Love Finds Andy Hardy) portrayed by Mickey Rooney, who plays Mr. Yunioshi.
