"Kein Film setzt Audrey Hepburns verträumten Charme und anmutige Schönheit besser um, als diese romantische Adaption von Truman Capotes Kurzgeschichte. Hepburns komplizierte Holly Golightly, eine bezaubernde Neurotikerin, die von Geschenken der Männer lebt, ist eine verlockende Figur in Designer-Kostümen und Strassschmuck.
