Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 film based loosely on Truman Capote's novela of the same name. The film opens with Audrey Hepburn (playing the part of Holly Golightly) standing outside the Tiffany's Jewelry store window...drinking coffee and eating a pastry. From there, she walks home and Wikipedia (
visit link) informs us:
" At her apartment building, she fends off her date from the disastrous night before, who has been waiting in his car all night. The next morning, she is awakened by new tenant Paul Varjak (George Peppard) ringing the doorbell. The pair chat as she dresses to leave for her weekly visit to Sally Tomato (Alan Reed), a mobster incarcerated at Sing Sing prison. She is paid to pass on coded messages for his drug ring but plays dumb regarding her visits."
The film explores Holly's unusual relationships with a variety of men...but espcially Paul. The film returns at one point to Tiffany's when Paul goes there to have a toy ring engraved as a present for Holly.
The film was directed by Blake Edwards and also starred Patricia Neal, Martin Balsam, Buddy Ebsen, & Mickey Rooney. John McGiver played the Tiffany's salesman.
