I love this movie. Yes, underneath all her charm and glamour, Holly Golightly is a hooker. And I suppose it's not a stretch in the slightest to call Paul ("Fred") a whore, too. And yet ... and yet ... I love almost every moment* of this movie. So I was very happy last Sunday when I got to see a restored print of Breakfast at Tiffany's on the big screen. It was part of my day long birthday celebration with Kathy.
Also part of the gift: dinner at Maggiano's and a trip to the biggest local mall to finish my Christmas shopping.
It was an all-day affair -- 10 hours! -- which is an awful lot of Kathy. But the older I get, the more I appreciate how hard she's willing to work to keep our friendship in tact. I treasure that.
*Not Mickey Rooney's over-the-top and racially insensitive supporting part, though.
Sounds like a very fun birthday celebration!
