Um... it's famously a film[1] staring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard.

I thought it was okay. It was obviously toned down a lot from the book to meet then current sensibilities which would not offend an audience today. Ironically, there's a comedy bit with Mickey Rooney[2] that probably didn't offend American audiences at the time but that has not aged well. I also thought they added a bit too much slapstick.

I'm aware.


Ah, so your point is that Breakfast at Tiffany's is a terrible adaptation. It's typical Blake Edwards.
