From Wikipedia:
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American film starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, and featuring Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and Mickey Rooney. It was directed by Blake Edwards and released by Paramount Pictures.
Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly as the naive, eccentric socialite is generally considered to be the actress's most memorable and identifiable role. She herself regarded it as one of her most challenging roles to play, as she was an introvert who had to play an extrovert. Hepburn's singing of "Moon River" helped gain her an Oscar for Best Song for composer Henry Mancini and lyricist Johnny Mercer. The film also featured what was arguably George Peppard's greatest acting role and the high point of his career. The film is loosely based on the novella of the same name by Truman Capote.
From the book "Manhatten on Film":
In Breakfast at Tiffany's, Paul (George Peppard) sat on a bench and talked to Fred (Buddy Ebsen), the man who had been following him. Fred, who happened to be the husband of the beautiful Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn), wanted Paul's help to get his wife back, not knowing that Paul was falling in love with Holly, too.
