“Holly Golightly is serving wild oats and wonderful fun!”…An army of fans consider this Hepburn’s signature role and in many ways it is, even if she overcame miscasting to portray it. Based on a rather biting novella by Truman Capote, he (somewhat surprisingly) wanted Marilyn Monroe to play the role. The casting of Hepburn couldn’t be more different, yet she made it her own and in the process created an icon that is every bit as lasting as Marilyn’s skirt-over-the-subway-grate or Bette Davis’s off-the-shoulder, chain-smoking Margo Channing. She plays an offbeat, effortlessly sophisticated party girl in New York City who subsists on the favors of various rich men. Though her livelihood couldn’t be more tasteless, somehow Hepburn’s presence adds a sheen of innocence and sweetness to it. When blocked writer Peppard moves in upstairs (“kept” by married socialite Neal), the two find themselves developing a friendship which eventually begins to turn into love. But since they are both people who use their bodies to earn their keep and are heavily dependent on others, the chances of their relationship lasting are slim at best. To read the above synopsis, one would expect a gritty, vulgar film. However, in director Blake Edwards’ hands and with Hepburn floating around in exquisite Givenchy gowns, the movie is a candy box of color, style, humor and romance. I.G.E. Roma
