Here’s a classic film that stars the great Audrey Hepburn as Holly, and George Peppard as Paul. George was Hannibal in the A Team, so yeah, between that and Audrey being stunningly beautiful, you can talk yourself into this film fairly easily.
Man, Sid picks up the check and gives her money, and she just dismisses him. That’s some grade A selfish bitch bullshit. I know that it’s asking too much for nudity in this one, but a man can wish.
This girl is a quirky trainwreck. If she was ugly, would ANYBODY be watching this or caring? Be honest. The Asian dude, Mr. Yunioshi, is my favorite character, for obvious reasons. Oh, and by the way, he’s played by Mickey Rooney. Paul, the handsome dude, he seems to have his shit together. Has a nice apartment above Holly, and gets paid by his lady decorator friend. Basically they get paid for being sexy beasts, it’s just that he has to put out, and she strikes me as mostly a cock tease. SO she sleeps with him the first night that they meet. I don’t know whether to say good for him or not. She seems like a major headache and pain in the ass, despite her attractiveness. Absolute headcase too.
Here’s a drinking game, drink every time that somebody says darling, baby, or some time reference. That cat just likes to jump on people. Mag Wildwood is absolutely ridiculous. but in a funny way. Alan Reed is in this, and he plays Sally Tomato, but more importantly, he was the voice of Fred Flintstone. This is why you read the blog, for stupid factoids like that. Paul’s special lady friend fears that her husband is having her spied on. The guy ends up being Holly’s husband, Doc, and her name isn’t Holly, it’s Lula Mae. Doc is played by Buddy Ebsen, better known as Jed Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies or Barnaby Jones. According to her, their marriage was annulled awhile ago, but he just doesn’t accept that. Man, Doc is laying down the law with her, and good for him. If Lula won’t come back, Fred isn’t welcome back at Doc’s place, which is understandable.
This whole scenario, incredibly frustrating to say the least. Nobody is really right or wrong, but I kinda get the feeling that she didn’t do Doc properly, way back when. I do enjoy the music for the stripper. Now if only we’d see something. Her drunken ridiculousness, she did a great job, acting wise. We’ve all seen that trainwreck before, yet we’re not suppose to backhand it. Why? I do not know.
I really don’t dig her red coat when they go out in the morning, or the hat. She’s too pretty to be wearing that stuff. The dude who works at Tiffany’s is a guy I recognized from The Twilight Zone. I enjoyed that they wanted to get a ring from a Cracker Jack box, engraved. The library scene was good, but the 5 and 10 one was funny at least. Paul’s PJ’s are sweet looking. I still don’t get why Paul’s lady friend’s name is 2E. Paul, like a moron, is trying to end his sweet thing with 2E to try to get with Holly, who is not the girl that you leave your girl for. Most dudes will make that mistake though. He turned down a grand, plus his great wardrobe, for that trollop. Unacceptable, Paul!
Paul goes looking for Holly, and she is acting totally cold to him. Bitches man, bitches. Yup, she now wants to marry some handsome, rich, South American guy. Paul, you fool! Her outfit after the library scene, tremendous. Oh, and now she is flipping out and crying. Paul, pack your shit up and run far, far far away. Aww, Fred is dead. All the more reason for Paul to bail. She has clearly gone way past the crazy threshold. If a bitch acts crazy more than 3 times in a week or 10 times in a month, you bail, and you never look back. These are rules to live by.
So she invites Paul over the night before she is leaving for Brazil, despite Jose never even proposing to her. He takes her out to dinner, and they return and both are handcuffed. We have a serious case of uh oh. Wow, just realized that O.J. is the same guy who played Arbogast in Hitchcock’s Psycho Awww, Jose is dumping Holly due to how important him and his family’s name is in Brazil. Seems fair to me. She still wants to go to Brazil, because she’s never been there, and whims are fun. Stupid ass Paul, just told her that he loves her, and she says so what. She doesn’t want to be put in a cage. How irritating is this bitch? Jesus, she just dumped her cat off on the side of the road in the pouring rain. I don’t even like cats, but that was a total bitch move. A free spirit move of selfishness. That’s what they are, selfish and use a term like that to justify any decision they make, no matter how right or wrong or irrational it may be. Run Paul, run.
Paul gets out to go look for cat. Holly chases after him after having a moment of self realization. She finally finds the poor cat. I don’t know who I sympathize with more, the cat or Paul. Probably the cat, because Paul is dumb and makes out with her in the end.
End Film
This film is good, It’s very good. You know why? It serves as a study into the human psyche. Dumbass guys think that they can just be that good guy, treat a girl right, and they start to fall for her, and choose to ignore a lot of the crazy bullshit, because he starts crushing on her. So she pushes him away, because that’s what crazy bitches do. They know they are crazy, so they try to do the right thing before it gets any worse. They are too dumb to realize that it’s already gone too far. Still, the guy now fights it because he’s a stubborn bastard, and won’t let go. Sure, the film may end with a kiss, but within 5 years, that relationship is FUBAR. You best believe that. Paul will get hurt for those 5 years, hoping to have more good days than bad, and she will, in her mind, try to rationalize whatever bullshit erratic behavior that she has going on, but its all bullshit. Then they break up, most likely she will break it off with him, and go on with her life like nothing happened, because she’s a whimsical free spirit. Meanwhile, Paul probably smokes and drinks his life away, picking up cheap floozies who think that he is somewhat famous due to his writing.
So in that regard, this movie nailed it. Even hot chicks stop being hot sometimes, once the craziness kicks in. I give this film a 6.8 for how well it was done. I don’t ever really want to see it again though. It’s just depressing as fuck in my eyes. Tits could have added more to this as well. Just saying. I need a morale boost after this. You’re welcome.
