Breakfast at Tiffany’s
July 18, 2023 @ 7:00 pm
NR | 1h 55mh | Comedy/Drama/Romance
Director: Blake Edwards
Stars: Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal
A strong local connection bridges the legendary, New-York-based Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Pittsburgh: The memorable, Oscar-winning music of Aliquippa-raised Henry Mancini. The 1961 adaptation of Truman Capote’s novel is perhaps Audrey Hepburn’s most iconic role.
BBC calls Breakfast at Tiffany’s “chic Hollywood comedy at its finest,” led by Hepburn’s “wickedly kooky and intoxicating performance…she bridges a gap between female and male viewers, offering so much to like and plenty to sympathise with.”
Hepburn plays Holly Golightly, a young woman who epitomizes “madcap” and chases away any bad feelings by visiting Tiffany’s. She makes her living in questionable ways, though that doesn’t stop her neighbor, a young writer named Paul Varjak, from falling in love.
“Hepburn’s Holly Golightly is a kind of exaggerated emblem of who we all become—at least for a time—when we move away from home and have the freedom to reintroduce ourselves to the world,” The Guardian says. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s sort of belongs to everyone, whether they know it or not.”
The Lindsay is partnering with P.E.O. Chapter BN (Sewickley) for a Movie & Muffins Ladies’ Night Out prior to the screening, from 6-7 p.m. Willow Bend muffins will be available for purchase in the lobby, with proceeds from the sales going to support P.E.O., an organization benefiting women. Also, Big Spring Spirits will be on hand, selling cocktails inspired by the film. The International Chapter of the P.E.O. Sisterhood is a philanthropic and educational organization that has been celebrating women and helping them reach for the stars for more than 150 years, providing millions of dollars in educational loans and grants.
