Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman Audiobook

" Some fun details but the author over writes and over states his case something awful. Still, lots of interesting factoids for fans of the movie. "

" So far it is hard for me to follow since I've never seen the movie. It has been interesting to see the "behind the scenes" of making a movie. "

" The tale of the making of "Breakfast at Tiffany's," really how could it go wrong, but it was oh so right! "

" I can't believe Breakfast at Tiffany's has the social significance the author claims, but if you're interested in the film, or Audrey Hepburn, or how movies get made, this is very fun. And I'm glad to know that several people involved in the making of the movie thought from the start that Mickey Rooney as the Japanese neighbor was a very bad idea. Too bad they didn't have the clout to replace him or just scrap the character. (Blake Edwards apparently insisted on him - thought he was funny - yeesh!) "

" WOW! I really loved this book. It provides insight into Truman Capote's childhood and career, the idea of Holly Golightly, the writing of the book, the adaptation into the movie, the life and struggles of Audrey Hepburn... It goes into great detail about the making of the film, its aftermath, and its impact on society in the 1960's. If you like the author, the actress, the book, the movie, or any combination, you really should read this book. "

" This book answers the great, burning question of Hollywood history: How did the makers of Breakfast at Tiffany's convince sweet little Audrey Hepburn to play a mob moll/prostitute? Fun, juicy, and breezy read. As delightful as a Billy Wilder movie. "
