After graduating from Drama Centre London, British actress Emilia Clarke made her debut as a professional actress in the 2009 British soap opera, Doctors. Her third professional role was as Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO drama series Game of Thrones, based on George R. R. Martin’s fantasy novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire.

Tamzin Merchant was the actress originally cast as the character of Daenerys, but the role went to Clarke when the pilot episode was reshot in early 2010 (via Yahoo). The role quickly catapulted her to global fame. Here dedication to the character can be deduced from the fact that even death did not scare her.

One of 2024’s obsessions is “Feud: “Capote vs. the Swans.” The FX on Hulu limited series revolves around the best-selling novelist Truman Capote‘s friendship with several of the highest of New York’s society women include Babe Paley, Slim Keith and Lee Radziwill, the sister of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. The women treat him as a sort of father confessor, but when he publishes an excerpt from what he considers his will be his masterwork “Answered Prayers” in Esquire — a thinly veiled account of their lives and secrets –they feel betrayed and turn their back on their once trusted friend. He spends the rest of his life trying to get back into their good graces.
Everyone knows Capote wrote “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and his superb “In Cold Blood” and was a witty albeit inebriated guest on countless talk shows, but how much do you really know about him?

Bob Dylan is an artist no other, often regarded as one of the most incredible songwriters to walk on this planet. His music was not just for your everyday enjoyment. Instead, he created thought-provoking pieces that often revolved around politics, philosophy, and more. Needless to say, Bob Dylan’s contributions to the music industry will never be forgotten. Not even after he is long gone.

Kelly Rowland stole the show as she walked the red carpet on March 10. The “Dilemma” singer‘s look for the Vanity Fair Oscars Party was “classic beauty with a sexy twist.” Some fans said Rowland was giving Pretty Woman; others cited Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Lily Gladstone got teary eyed watching Scott George and the Osage Singers’ powerful performance of “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon at the 2024 Oscars.
The performers joined forces to collectively bang a drum, dressed in traditional Osage attire, as the women sang.

For it to be recognized maybe for the first time ever, it’s overwhelming in that sense,” the drummer, singer and composer said.

Even if you don't recognize Edith Head's name, you know her work on sight — for several reasons, at that. Pick a famous movie from Hollywood's Golden Age, and there's a good chance her costumes adorned the headlining celebrities. A self-made costume designer with a prolific, half-century-long career, her contributions to the medium are inescapably seared into the public consciousness. Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's? You can thank Ms. Head for that melancholic iconography turned party outfit. Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity? That's the prowling silhouette that defined generations of femme fatales. History's best actresses didn't need to say a word to convey power, elegance, or sensuality; Head's visuals spoke at first glance.

Audrey Hepburn is the absolute definition of classic Hollywood. The star of beloved films such as "Roman Holiday" and the criminally underseen "Wait Until Dark," she became the embodiment of the term movie star for decades until her passing in 1993. Perhaps no single movie embodies the greatness of Hepburn more than 1961's "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Based on Truman Capote's novel of the same name, director Blake Edwards helped turn Hepburn's Holly Golightly into a cinematic icon. Yet, amazingly enough, it's a role that Hepburn very nearly passed on.
Speaking to The New York Times in 1960, the actress discussed her role as a New York City socialite who was looking to marry a rich man only to find herself smitten by a writer. In the interview, Hepburn, who was coming off of "The Nun's Story" and "The Unforgiven," explained that she didn't believe she was right for the part. It...

There’s something uniquely cinematic about romantic comedies — something that makes them a natural fit for the movies and vice-versa. There’s an intoxicating alchemy that allows us to believe in the magic of meet-cutes, happily-ever-afters, and all the agonizing contrivances that tend to pop up between the two. Love it seems gives storytellers permission to transpose the stuff of operas and fables into the fabric of real (or at least overly glossed but still recognizable) life.
On paper, a film like “Pretty Woman” might be a retrograde fairy tale about a sex worker with a heart of gold and the rich businessman who can afford it, but the chemistry between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere is so explosive that you surrender to the sentiment of it all. Literally nothing in Richard Curtis’ “Love Actually” makes sense if you stop and think about it for even a few seconds. The...

The Unforgiven (1960) is an American Western film starring Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn. Directed by John Huston and based on the 1957 novel by Alan Le May, the author of The Searchers, the film was controversial by the standards of the time for its spotlight on the maltreatment of Native Americans by white settlers. The film was also beset with production problems. In 1959, Audrey Hepburn broke her back while rehearsing a scene for the film, suspending production for several months and resulting in a subsequent miscarriage. She did not return to the screen until 1961 in the legendary feature film Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Once the hottest writer in town, Truman Capote also was a master at self destruction.
Cut to The Bistro, Beverly Hills circa 1973. Cradling his cocktail, Capote was at once amiable and petulant. I was sitting across from him at the elegant café to discuss his new screenplay, but the discussion soon became an argument.
Capote, always theatrical, finally turned to strangers at the next table. “I wrote a brilliant screenplay and this man from Paramount is telling me that I didn’t write it, I simply typed it,” Capote complained, an edge to his high-pitched voice. “What should I do to him?”
The strangers smiled. “Order another martini,” said one. “Better make it a double.”

To “The Swans,” a coterie of New York high society women, Truman Capote was an amusing circus act. Known for penning Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood, these aristocratic ladies invited him to lavish dinner parties and fanciful getaways to indulge in his animated, gossip-filled stories. Author Laurence Leamer found himself captivated by Capote’s mélange of wit, joie de vivre, and callousness, and chronicled his falling-out with his one-percenter gal pals in the 2021 book Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era,...

Plot: Acclaimed writer Truman Capote surrounded himself with a coterie of society’s most elite women – rich, glamorous socialites who defined a bygone era of high society New York – whom he nicknamed “the swans.” Enchanted and captivated by these doyennes, Capote ingratiated himself into their lives, befriending them and becoming their confidante, only to ultimately betray them by writing a thinly veiled fictionalization of their lives, exposing their most intimate secrets. When an excerpt from the book, Answered Prayers, Capote’s planned magnum opus, was published in Esquire, it effectively destroyed his relationship with his swans, banished him from the high society he so loved and sent him into a spiral of self-destruction from which he would ultimately never recover.

Truman Capote was a world-renowned author and screenwriter who is universally remembered as the man behind Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the critically acclaimed true crime novel, In Cold Blood. Born in 1924 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Capote started writing at the age of 8, and by the time he turned 24, he had established himself as an up-and-coming writer and received the O. Henry Award in 1948 for his short fiction story, Shut a Final Door. Throughout his extensive career, Capote wrote for several prominent publications, such as Esquire Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and The New York Times; and, eventually, worked as a screenwriter on several notable productions, including Beat the Devil starring Humphrey Bogart and the psychological thriller, The Innocents.

Black and white doesn’t mean boring. Demi Moore, Calista Flockhart, and the rest of the cast of Feud: Capote vs. The Swans stunned in coordinated monochromatic looks as they walked the red carpet at the premiere of the FX series on Jan. 23 in New York City.
Moore and Flockhart star in the anthology series, along with Molly Ringwald, Diane Lane, Naomi Watts, and Chloë Sevigny. The show, which was created by Ryan Murphy and directed by Gus Van Sant, is about the real-life friendship – and later conflict – between writer Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) and a group of New York socialites he dubbed “the swans.”

During its first three seasons on NBC, Stephen J. Cannell's "The A-Team" was one of the most popular shows on television. Critics dismissed it as mindless trash, but its 1983 premiere perfectly captured the gung-ho Reagan-era zeitgeist. The idea of a crack commando unit on the run from a government that did them dirty in the Vietnam War played to the country's bitterness over the mistreatment of veterans. Many Americans wanted to see the American military kick butt again, and what better way to scratch that itch than to build a series around a group of wrongly disgraced heroes?
The challenge for Cannell was satisfying his audience's bloodlust while observing the network's mandate that, due to its family-friendly 8 Pm timeslot, the good guys couldn't kill anybody. Could they fire off loads of cool-looking firearms or turn a bamboo into a bazooka? Absolutely! They just had to make sure their...

There's hardly any casting more iconic than Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. So much so, that she remains an American icon and is still widely celebrated in pop culture. The story behind Hepburn's casting, however, is among the greatest what-ifs in Hollywood, as there was another contender with just as much star power in the run to play Holly Golightly: the epitome of mid-century Hollywood allure herself, Marilyn Monroe. This unfulfilled casting choice remains a captivating piece of cinematic history, as there are many parallels between Monroe and Golightly, but, at the same time, it's just impossible to conceive of anyone other than Hepburn having breakfast at Tiffany's at 5 am.

Rod Serling was famous for a lot of things. He was one of the most acclaimed television writers of the mid-20th century, the creator of the genre-defining anthology series "The Twilight Zone," he co-wrote the screenplay to the original "Planet of the Apes," and he even helped give Steven Spielberg his big break. But even though he's famous for a lot of things, he was a prolific writer and even some of his best and most fascinating projects have been largely forgotten by the public over time. Like, for example, an adaptation of one of the most popular Christmas stories ever told, transformed into one of the most politically charged Christmas movies ever filmed.

With the passing of Norman Lear at the age of 101, we bid a fond farewell to one of the most important figures in the history of not just sitcoms, but television as a medium. TV shows that dared to address real-world problems were not unheard of when Lear came to fame by creating "All in the Family" in 1971 ("The Twilight Zone" had already existed for over a decade). However, they were very much the exceptions to the rule. Sitcoms, in particular, were overwhelmingly white, heterosexual, and conservative in their outlook, steering clear of any topic that could be considered even remotely controversial or polarizing.
Lear, of course, recognized this facade for what it was. In his autobiography "Even This I Get to Experience," the multi-hyphenate rightly dismisses the idea that his first big hit sitcom was any more "political" than other shows airing at the time. In his own words:...

Awkward movie scenes can break the immersion and make the viewer just too uncomfortable. Some movie scenes, like the awkward sex scene in Her, can be too much and detract from the overall experience of the film. Awkward moments in movies, such as the Christmas dinner scene in The Family Stone, can be intentional, which doesn't mean they will always work.
Movies have the power to transport viewers to different worlds and introduce new ideas, but some scenes are so awkward, out of place, or just plain bad, that there is a sudden jolt back into reality. The silver screen, usually a window into diverse lives and far-off places, can break that illusion with cringe-inducing moments. Striking the right balance between relatable discomfort and scenes that overwhelm is crucial, especially in an era where cringe comedy is all the rage in mainstream entertainment, like the quirky characters of The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Striking the right balance between relatable discomfort and scenes that overwhelm is crucial, especially in an era where cringe comedy is all the rage in mainstream entertainment, like the quirky characters of The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Compelling romantic entanglements are crucial in romance movies, but captivating love interests are equally important. Some love interests in iconic romances like "500 Days of Summer" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" have their flaws, making them more complex and memorable. From Noah Calhoun in "The Notebook" to Prince Henry in "Red, White & Royal Blue," these love interests showcased unwavering devotion and the willingness to overcome obstacles for love.
First love, second chances, or enemies who become lovers -- romance movies always find a way to make audiences feel butterflies with diverse love stories. Compelling romantic entanglements are essential in this genre, but mesmerizing love interests are central to creating a romance movie that will be remembered for decades.
Over the years, films like Breakfast at Tiffany's and Titanic have become iconic romances. Angst, slow burn, and longing give way to both happy and unhappy endings in these, but not every love interest was created equal.

In the 1993 biopic Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, our titular hero and his then-girlfriend Linda catch a screening of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which infamously features the non-Japanese Mickey Rooney playing a caricatured Japanese man. The theater erupts in laughter at this depiction – one the film’s director and Rooney himself would later regret – but Bruce is visibly uncomfortable. As depicted in the movie Dragon: A Bruce Lee Story, after Bruce Lee impresses Bill Krieger as Kato on the set of The Green Hornet, he walks and talks him through the Warner Bros. back lot with a pitch for a TV show. “How about the Wild West?” Bruce says. “Okay, great,” Bill responds, rolling with the idea of a Western starring a Chinese immigrant wandering the land solving problems each week “with no gun, just his hands.” He’s searching, not for his father but his brother, Bill says. Later, a...

Certain films endure the test of time because they capture universal human emotions or experiences that transcend generations. Societal standards and cinematic rhetoric evolve, but timeless films connect with audiences through relatable themes like love, family, grief, and loss. While technology and viewing habits change, films can still be considered timeless if they offer new perspectives on timeless themes or break the expected norms.
What makes a movie timeless? Some films age like fine wines, only getting better as the decades pester on. However, there are certain ones that extend their grace over periods of time and inspire both generations of filmmakers and audiences. Generally, these films feel timeless because they are just that. In a literal sense, everything has a time stamp on it. Certain visual effects, coloring, and even scores are of a certain time. Figuratively speaking, these films span across generations because they encapsulate a universal human emotion or experience.

Oh, the annals of movies that were made by one guy who is kind of cool that were almost made by another guy who is way cooler. Did you know John Frankenheimer almost directed "Breakfast at Tiffany's?" That would have been ... intense. What about the fact that Danny Boyle almost directed Joss Whedon's script for "Alien: Resurrection?" Or that David Lynch, on the heels of the movie he went on to hate having made, "Dune," almost made "Return of the Jedi" instead?
How we love to imagine singular, iconic visions through the looking glass, remade in vastly different, yet just as distinct styles. One of the banner entries in this almost-Hall of Fame is the "Blade" movie that David Fincher almost made. It was the early-to-mid-90s. Bill Clinton had just been elected President.

Movies about movies tend to be as sentimental as Cinema Paradiso, the all-time tearjerker in the genre, or as caustic as the recent Babylon. But Lone Scherfig finds a fine balance between love of movies and the harsh wider world in The Movie Teller, a beautifully made coming-of-age film about Maria Margarita, who acts out the Hollywood movies she has seen at the local cinema in her small mining town. Set in the Chilean desert in the late 1960s and early ’70s, the drama benefits greatly from the sure hand and clear eye Scherfig has brought to her best films, other period pieces including An Education (2009) and Their Finest (2016). All that can’t quite make up for the rocky screenplay, though.
The story is adapted from the Chilean writer Hernan Rivera Letelier’s 2009 novel. The first version of the screenplay was tackled years ago by the Brazilian director Walter Salles,...

When I was in college cinema courses I made a Super 8 film called Movie Girl. It was a Hollywood-set love letter to movies centered on a Musso & Frank waitress who put herself dreamily into the plots of classic films. It won an award there but was the highlight of the directing career I never had. However, I have always been partial to filmmakers who put their own early film-going experience and passion into their careers now. You may have heard of them: Kenneth Branagh won an Oscar for doing just that in Belfast. Steven Spielberg got several nominations last year for his very personal The Fabelmans. Woody Allen had his own charming take in The Purple Rose of Cairo. Peter Bogdanovich made a lasting impression with 1971’s The Last Picture Show, as did Giuseppe Tornatore with his Oscar winner Cinema Paradiso.

At 5’2, Mickey Rooney may have been small in stature, but he had a huge personality and was one of the biggest stars in the heyday of the Golden Era of Hollywood. He had one of the longest careers of any entertainer, with a body of work that spans nine decades in the industry, including vaudeville, films, television, radio and the stage.
Rooney was born Joe Yule, Jr. on September 23, 1920, in Brooklyn, New York. At 17 months old, he made his stage debut in his parent’s vaudeville act, and made his motion picture debut in 1926. In 1927, he starred in the first of several short films in the “Mickey Maguire” series, and adopted the stage name “Mickey Rooney.” He made 78 of these comedies, and also received great notices in films such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (1935).

Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey Hepburn is widely regarded as one of the most iconic actresses of all time. Despite only appearing in 34 films, Hepburn’s talent and natural beauty made her a true Hollywood legend. Although she started her career as a ballet dancer, and later a model, Hepburn quickly transitioned into acting. Her captivating performances in movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Roman Holiday cemented her place in cinematic history. Sadly, Hepburn passed away in 1993 at the age of 63, but her legacy still lives on today thanks to her iconic roles in a selection...

At first blush, 2009's pseudo-rom-com 500 Days of Summer and Barbie may not seem to have much in common. But the negative reviews from a portion of both films' male audience members show that some of the commentary the movies made on the dynamics of men and women didn't exactly stick the landing with everyone. And while it's easy to reduce both films to simply the words in the script, it can't be ruled out that the use of satire adds an entirely different layer to each. In fact, while satire isn't always as bombastic as it is in Barbie or subtle, like 500 Days of Summer, it does have a tendency to resonate with certain people and not with others.
Some of the naysayers are possibly misreading the goal of both films. There's something that seems to be intensely personal in the reviews marking the movies as unwatchable. Both...

Lily Collins' striking resemblance to Audrey Hepburn has sparked rumors of a possible family connection and speculation that she would play Hepburn in a biopic. Although not related to Hepburn, Collins has embraced her fashion sense and often mimics her iconic style in both dress and makeup. Despite the resemblance, Collins will not be portraying Hepburn in an upcoming biopic, but her acting career and Hepburn-inspired looks on the red carpet ensure that the screen legend's memory lives on.

One of cinema's most beloved stars, Audrey Hepburn, is best remembered for her romantic roles in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday, but the screen icon also collaborated with the legendary filmmaker behind Singin' in the Rain, Stanley Donen, on three separate occasions. Donen first worked with Hepburn in 1957's Funny Face, a musical that co-starred Fred Astaire. Ten years later, the pair reunited for a marriage drama called Two for the Road, but in between these films in 1963, they worked on what ended up being Donen's most financially successful picture, Charade.

Whenever I watch a movie involving an Asian character set anytime before the 2000s, I get a little worried. It's been a long road for Asian representation in media and entertainment, but sometimes looking into the past can be painful. Beloved movies like Sixteen Candles and Breakfast at Tiffany's leave me with a sour taste in my mouth, not because I couldn't understand Sam's very American girl struggles as a teenager or because I wasn't enchanted by Holly Golightly's eccentricities, but because those movies contained caricatures of people who look like me. They turned Asian faces into the butt of the joke. This was always my fear and why I avoided The Karate Kid. The idea of a wise and experienced Japanese man teaching karate to a white kid from New Jersey was something I instantly thought: Nope, I'll pass on that slice of nostalgia.

Like other institutions, Hollywood is built on racializing and therefore marginalizing specific groups. Jewish, Black, and Asian people, to name a few, were subjected to such horrific treatment because characters were built on stereotypes. Studios also preferred to hire Black or People of Color to be on the lots as long as they were in the background in a non-speaking role. Egregious practices such as these remain in place to this day, with several Asian America Pacific Islander actors only finally gaining recognition after being in Hollywood for over four decades.
Of course, not all the Aapi representation in Hollywood is bad. One of the first television shows that championed Aapi actors was the groundbreaking science fiction series Star Trek, starring George Takei as Lieutenant Sulu, the helmsman of the S.S. Enterprise. Sulu wasn’t a caricature or a prop, but a vital member of Captain Kirk’s team. By the 90s,...

Accents can be difficult for even the best performers to master, and some truly hilarious accents have ruined big movies. Given the immersive experience of a film, a bad accent can pull fans out of the storyline with jarring dialogue that doesn't seem to fit what's going on around the character. If everyone in the cast is employing a different accent, like in The Hunt for Red October this phenomenon isn't as noticeable, but it becomes harder to ignore when the perpetrator's delivery is distracting. Even the biggest stars in Hollywood are capable of phoning it in with a dialect that doesn't make sense to their peers.
Some actors, like Daniel Day-Lewis or Meryl Streep are known for perfecting accents from all around the world, and Hugh Laurie and Christian Bale are so well-known for their ability to slip effortlessly into American accents that fans can't believe they're English, but...

You can’t herd cats, the idiom goes. While not technically true, trying to train a feline is not nearly as easy a task as training a dog, horse, or pig to leap on command or pretend to like its Homo sapien co-star. Those animals are more social pack animals. Cats? They’d rather sleep in the wheel well of your car than next to you.
That hasn’t stopped thousands of professionals, and some average folks, from enlisting their pets into casts of movies and TV shows. As this 1961 Life photograph proves, if humans can’t make it big, the next best thing is living vicariously via your kid or American-short haired. At least cats can handle rejection, because landing a spot in a cat food ad or feature film takes a special cat.

Fifth Avenue or Hollywood Boulevard? The iconic flagship Tiffany & Co. store - the one where the Aubrey Hepburn classic "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was filmed - just had its grand reopening on April 27 after its recent renovation, and all the stars came out. Newly dubbed Tiffany's Landmark, celebrities turned up in droves to celebrate the occasion.
Everyone from Florence Pugh, Gal Gadot, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoë Kravitz, and Michael B. Jordan to couples like Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham, and Dylan Sprouse and Barbara Palvin were in attendance for the event.
Tiffany's newly minted ambassador Jimin even drew a large crowd across the street from the event. In one fan video filmed from early in the evening, Sprouse joked to the gathered crowd, "Guys, don't worry, Jimin is coming, Ok?" Later, Alexandre Arnault, the executive VP of product and communications at Tiffany & Co., posted an Instagram Story...

Despite the best work of some of their peers around them, some bad performances stand out in otherwise great movies. Sometimes the Hollywood stars align and every actor in a movie brings their best to the production, but since there are so many styles of acting, directing, and writing, it's a wonder that they ever do. For every release ranked among the best films of all time, a movie will come along that, whether due to the actor's method, the director's vision, or the writing on the page, gets mangled by one false note, knocking it from being a near-perfect story to mediocre anytime a particular actor in onscreen.
Even being inspired by sure things like long-established IPs can't save a movie when one performance drags it down, and all a blockbuster's visual effects and jaw-dropping stunts can't overcome someone unable to make their character believable. This is particularly heartbreaking...

Starting this month, the Beverly Hills Hotel — a hospitality venue known for its long history of Hollywood guests as much as it is for its iconic green and white striped cabanas — is welcoming the return of their luxe moviegoing experience throughout the summer. The poolside movie series will feature five classic films — Breakfast at Tiffany’s, La La Land, Clueless, Troop Beverly Hills and Some Like It Hot — and the admission is $1,700 to rent one of the eight poolside cabanas, which accommodate four people each.
The series was launched last year in celebration of the hotel’s 110th anniversary, and after all three events sold out, the Beverly Hills Hotel team decided to bring it back, with two additional viewings. “We only showed Troop Beverly Hills last year and quickly learned how popular the film is!” Csaba Oveges, The Beverly Hills Hotel’s hotel manager, told The Hollywood Reporter in an emailed statement.

When they sang "Ev'rybody wants to be a cat," that apparently included the Academy Award and six-time Grammy Award-winner, Questlove. In news first reported by Deadline, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson is set to direct a live-action/animation hybrid remake of "The Aristocats" for the House of Mouse. The film is being compared to similar hybrid films like "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Space Jam: A New Legacy," featuring live-action performers crossed with CGI. There's no word yet on whether or not this means the titular cats will look like CGI updates of their animated origins, or if this will be another semi-realistic uncanny valley adventure similar to Disney's recent remake of "The Lion King."
Admittedly, the timing of this announcement is somewhat suspicious, as Disney also announced that they'd be laying off roughly 7,000 employees starting this week. It's a shame that the news of Questlove's "The Aristocats" remake is coming on the...

By design, the cast and characters of 12 Angry Men were the heart and soul of the movie, and the intense courthouse drama was a star-studded affair. Released in 1957 to almost universal critical acclaim, Sydney Lumet's masterpiece captured the spirit of injustice in the United States at the time, and focused it into a courtroom setting. Ranked as the second best courtroom drama of all time by the American Film Institute, 12 Angry Men deftly played out in one room and utilized the art of cinema to make each scintillating moment unforgettable.
The 12 characters presented each represented a section of society, and each had their own motivations which pulled the riveting story in different directions. The cast was stuffed with established stars and up-and-comers, and the roles played on the strengths of the individual actors to perfection.

The 1960s were a transformative decade for cinema. Reflecting changes in the culture as a whole, movies became more cynical and more realistic. This can be seen most notably in horrors like Psycho and westerns like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, but the trend extended to comedy as well. The screwball comedies of earlier decades gave way to more subtle comedy dramas like Breakfast at Tiffany's and the blistering satire of Dr. Strangelove.
