A guaranteed original and framed '8x10' candid movie still for Blake Edward's incredible 1961 romantic comedy "Breakfast At Tiffany's".
There is little that has to be said about this film. Audrey Hepburn's 'Holly Golightly' is sublime, a strong woman with a soft core and a troubled past. George Peppard's 'Paul Varjak' is perfectly measured, almost understated, providing a stability that allows Hepburn's Oscar nominated fragility to shine. A quite wonderful film. As good a watch now, as it was on its release.
This fantastic candid movie still shows Hepburn seated with her Yorkshire terrier, Mr. Famous, while George Peppard strums a guitar. It would have been snapped by a Unit Still Photographer during production and then used for promotion during the film's original release.
Interestingly, it was evidently intended for use in Spanish speaking countries. The reverse of the still has a snipe in Spanish giving details of the film. (It tells us that Peppard is strumming Moon River.) We will include an image of this for the new owner's records.
It is in lovely condition, but the adhesive used to stick the snipe to the reverse of the still has, over time, created a faint mark on the front. As our photos show, it still displays very well.
It has been framed by us in a black ayous wood frame with an iced white mount, protective barrier board and crystal clear Perspex glazing. As our photos show, it will look lovely on display!
By the way, Mr Famous makes a cameo appearance in another Audrey Hepburn film, Funny Face (1957)!
