It probably seems weird to read a book about the making of a movie I don't even like, but I thought it might shed some light on just why I don't like it, and why so many others do. And it kind of did. It helped me understand the casting of Audrey Hepburn, which I always had issue with. Turns out the reasons she is so wrong for the roll are the exact reasons she was cast. There's also some good insight into the writing of the original novella, and just who may have been the ultimate Holly Golightly influence.

And it was also good to learn that almost everyone involved with the creation and casting of Yonioshi are deeply, deeply ashamed. (Well, everyone except Mickey Rooney.)
