Moon River Cha ChaHenry Mancini/Johnny Mercer

• The Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack won Henry Mancini an Oscar for Best Music (Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture) whilst the song "Moon River" won Mancini & Johnny Mercer (lyrics) an Oscar for Best Song. Apparently, "Moon River" was written especially for Hepburn. The vocals were written to be sung in only one octave as she had no training as a singer

We now move onto another aspect of the movie and that is the music. The main theme "Moon River" is so enchanting and is just the right ingredient to make this movie so magic. The story, the actors and the music just blend so well making all aspects so memorable.

It is very interesting to read about the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
Not only is the film so fulfilling in so many ways, it also is one of Audrey Hepburns greatest films. She just adds so much class to the roles she plays.
I believe that Capote was an admirer of Marilyn Monroe and it was Marilyn he wanted to star in the film. It is hard to imagine anyone else playing the role of Holly.
I suspect if Marlilyn had played the part we would still love the movie but the whole essence of the movie would be so different.
Now I have had a taste of Truman Capote I cannot wait to start reading his books.
