Another Oldie. Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Audrey Hepburn starred in the adaptation of Truman Capote's 1958 novella of the same title, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961), a story of a woman on her own making her way in the big city.

As Holly, Hepburn's got a feline roommate. They don't belong to each other, but they get on well together, entertaining at night and sleeping during the day or trying to... until author Paul Varjak (George Peppard) buzzes them from downstairs because he can't get in the building.

Paul thinks he's just coming in to use the telephone, but unbeknownst to him, he has now entered Holly's universe.

This reminds me how some people would mistakenly buzz this unit, even at odd hours, to gain entry into the building, or to deliver mail or packages. If I were sending a present to someone, I'd make sure the delivery guy gets it into the correct address, whether it's a person's house or place of work.

Back to Tiffany's. I love New York. I love 5th Avenue. And would love to have not just breakfast there...but lunches and dinners, as well.
