Breakfast at Tiffany'sPublished on August 20, 2008 at 5:02amA certain kind of classic for a certain kind of viewer. Audrey Hepburn stars in the 1961 adaptation of the Truman Capote novel. And, boy, does she star in it. George Peppard barely registers more than the wallpaper as the kept man/aspiring writeractually gay in the novelwho hopes to win Holly Golightlys hand. Mickey Rooney stoops to racist caricature as her Japanese neighbor upstairs, but at least Patricia Neal keeps dignity intact as Peppards lusty employer. An Oscar went to the Henry Mancini-Johnny Mercer standard-to-be, Moon River, famously written to suit Hepburns one-octave singing voice. (NR) BRIAN MILLER
