Opening scene - Tiffany & Co. at 727 5th Avenue at 57th St in New York

Holly: Don't you just love it?
Paul: Love what?
Holly: Tiffany's!

You know, I truly agree with Holly. I feel the same way too.


Holly in contemplative mood while singing Moon River

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.


Closing scene - Holly and Paul kissing in the rain

If you had to choose between watching the movie or reading the book, do both. Personally I prefer Truman Capote's version; it truly captured the free spirit of Holly Golightly. The movie version has the romance and happy ending to it. It's not that I don't like happy endings but for some stories you just want to have a reason to cry. This is just one of them.
