The book was completely different from the movie. In the book, it was obvious that she was a call girl...the movie tried to hide it.


Also, Truman Capote insisted that Marilyn Monroe play the role of Holly Golightly but they choose Audrey Hepburn. While I loved Audrey Hepburn in the movie, I can't help but think that Marilyn would have been perfect in the role.

Hi, Ban Kierfag. You already know my opinions on both Holly and her endings. After thinking about it, I think Hollywood did a great job of showing out in the open what couldn't be said plainly. There was more to her life than spreading her legs. What was happening in the other parts of her life? The same should be said of Paul, but I'd need to re-watch the movie. He took the loss of his real income rather easily -- that doesn't happen in real life.

Maybe Hollywood has an easier time with women than with men, which makes no sense because Hollywood is run by men.

Since Truman is Truman, maybe Hollywood's ending was its own 'have to unpack what's been double packed' situation.

And I'd still like to see the 70s version of Breakfast at Tiffany's.


I think you're right, but I also think Marilyn was already typecast in those roles. BaT is a completely different movie with Marilyn instead of Audrey. Audrey didn't play hookers or golddiggers. Marilyn did.

Marilyn would bring the funny with the sexy. But she wouldn't bring the innocence. Audrey is a save a ho. Marilyn is a drill a ho.

But what do you think?

The book was better.

Also, the movie had the WORST casting ever!

George Peppard sukkked
Buddy Ebsen as her hillbilly husband of a 14 year old runaway bride...HORRIBLE!
Micky Roony as the asian landlord??? HORRIBLE

Audrey Hepburn saved the movie....but Marilyn Monroe would have been the BEST!
Henri Mancini soundtrack second best part of the movie

Imagine the movie with better casting...Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe.....$$$$$

Cary isn't believable as a kept man. Point blank.
