(Following written by Mal Vincent) Exquisite, elegant Audrey Hepburn shines as Holly Golightly in one of the most requested films. (The only other Hepburn film shown in Mal’s festival has been her greatest dramatic role, in The Nun’s Story). Based on the Truman Capote novella, the film features the memorable Henry Mancini score and the Oscar-winning song “Moon River.” The cast includes George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam and a regrettably stereotyped outing by Mickey Rooney. (forgiveness is required) Blake Edwards directed. Mal confirms that Miss Hepburn in person was just as enchanting as on screen. He has requested that his obituary would include the fact that he once held hands with Audrey Hepburn.  (1961, 115 minutes)
