Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman by Sam Wasson
4.0
It's not everyday that you get a window into the inner workings of a movie so beloved and so endeared. People don't realize what it takes to make a movie, and this book does a great job of showing every aspect of the creation of Breakfast at Tiffany's. From the book penned by Truman Capote, to the rights purchased by the studio, creation of a screenplay, orchestration of a soundtrack, and the casting of the right actors, it is all detailed in this book. If you ever wondered how "Moon River" was created, why Blake Edwards was chosen to be the director, or how Audrey Hepburn felt about playing Holly Golightly, it's all here. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about it and now I want to see the movie again!
