I created this page to disambiguate it from the page about the movie. The information about the novella (scant as it is) was cut and pasted from the movie page. I added a few comments to distinguish the novella from the movie. --Sp3lly 15:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Holly query
Good work creating the article. I put [citation needed] on the following: The novella and the movie, both parts of popular American culture, are best handled as separate entities: fans of the film who read the novella encounter a different Holly Golightly than the one famously portrayed by Audrey Hepburn. Reason is it seems like opinion, so I feel it should have a reference. It stood out to me because, as someone who has seen the film many times and then read the book, I felt that the two Hollys were very similar: Holly in the film is very close to Holly in the book. The big changes in the film are a total rewrite of the Paul character and the addition of his status of gigolo or kept man (NOT in the book!) and the invention in the book of Patricia Neal's character 2E, the wealthy woman who had hired/keeps Paul. Other key story elements are changed too. Asa01 19:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Title
Can someone explain what the title means? Tiffany's sells jewlery, right? Not eggs and bacon.
Supposedly comes from a friend of Capote's, when asked where he would like to get breakfast, suggested, "Let's get breakfast at Tiffany's." KP Botany 21:05, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article's Purpose
I find that there is a MAJOR flaw in this article. Supposedly, it is about the novella by Truman Capote, but instead the majority of text is in regards to the later film made out of the movie, which has a complete page of its own. I propose that most of the text about the film be moved to the film's page (comparisons to book, etc.) and change the focus of this page to influences and historical notes about the novella itself. Also, critical reactions should probably be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by G.hoogers (talk • contribs) 19:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
