Watch: Breakfast at Tiffany’s 1961 123movies, Full Movie Online – After one of her frequent visits to Tiffany’s–New York City’s dazzling jewellery store–and the maximum security Sing-Sing prison for mobster Sally Tomato’s weekly “weather report”, Holly Golightly, Manhattan’s elegant socialite, finds herself infatuated with her charming new neighbour, Paul Varjak. Stuck in a persistent creative rut, Paul, too, lets himself drawn into Holly’s superficial world, of course, not because he likes the idea that he reminds her of her brother, but because, little by little, he succumbs to Holly’s beguiling allure. Even though they don’t openly admit it, the two reluctant lovers have a past that they struggle to keep at bay; nevertheless, are their well-hidden secrets powerful enough to keep them apart? After all, Paul and Holly are meant for each other. Will an early-morning breakfast at Tiffany’s be the prelude to a breezy young love?.
Plot: Holly Golightly is an eccentric New York City playgirl determined to marry a Brazilian millionaire. But when young writer Paul Varjak moves into her apartment building, her past threatens to get in their way.

Reviews:

I don’t know how I went this long without watching this movie, but I recently viewed it for the first time. It is fairly entertaining for the most part. Audrey Hepburn is magnetic and Patricia Neal just as good. I thought George Peppard could have injected more energy or emotion into his role. The rest of the cast is solid, especially the cat.

The plot seems rather daring for the time, though they are careful about talking around mature themes. I thought Mickey Rooney playing a Japanese character was in terrible taste, and apparently director Blake Edwards wished he could cast it over again. It wasn’t Rooney’s fault; it was a thankless role and comes across as racist with our modern sensibilities.

So I wasn’t dazzled by the story, but I found the final scene with the cat redeemed some of the flaws I noticed along the way.

Audrey Hepburn is at the top of her game as the dysfunctional socialite “Holly” who takes a bit of a shine to the rather staid “Paul” (George Peppard) who has moved into their apartment building. He is an artist in what can only be described a rut, and is readily, if a little timidly, subsumed into her wacky and lively world. She claims he reminds her of her brother, but of course time and events soon change that dynamic. Thing is, though, they both have some pretty hefty skeletons in their closets, and the challenge for them both will be to not let those spoil what could be a burgeoning romance! Aside from the legendary “Moon River” song, this is essentially just a quickly paced character study of two people with about as many complexities to their personalities as it is possible to have. The dialogue is often genuinely funny; the scenarios – though sometimes a little cringe-making – can’t help but raise a smile as does the continuity provided by their constantly complaining upstairs neighbour. Time has not been especially kind to some of the stereotypes – not least Mickey Rooney’s “Yunioshi” but taken in the context of the time, it is still entertaining, risqué even, and enjoyable to watch.

A Real Charmer: Comfort Viewing At It’s Best
The celebrated author on whose novel it was based despised the film version, describing it as “mawkish.” The star wasn’t much more enthusiastic; she never considered it among her best work. And the reviews were mixed. But regardless of what Truman Capote, Audrey Hepburn, or the critics thought about it, the public adored it–and the image of Audrey Hepburn wearing a black evening dress, nibbling pastry, and window shopping has passed into our cultural iconography.

The film is indeed lightweight stuff. Audrey Hepburn is a New York good-time girl who makes a living by clipping her wealthy escorts for fifty here and fifty there. When she meets handsome George Peppard–a writer who makes ends meet by trading favors with society matron Patricia Neal–can love be far behind? But Audrey’s mysterious past and her determination to marry rich, George’s status as a kept boy-toy, and their occasionally questionable associates provide plenty of complications to fill out the story.

What makes the film work is the remarkable charm of its two stars. Most of the attention goes to Audrey Hepburn and the film shows her to remarkable advantage: she is a remarkable actress, personality, and beauty, and she works wonders with the ultralight script. But when it comes to charm, George Peppard is no slouch either: the film catches him at the height of his early golden-boy good looks, and he is the perfect foil for Hepburn in both their comic and dramatic scenes. Mickey Rooney’s excessive performance as Yunioshi aside, the supporting cast is also very entertaining, with Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and Dorothy Whitney all give enjoyable turns. The film looks great (make sure you get the widescreen version), the score (which includes “Moon River”) is excellent, and director Blake Edwards keeps everything moving at a pleasant pace. This a great film to cozy up with on a cold night–romantic, entertaining, and as comforting as a cup of hot chocolate. Recommended.
