Ok, this isn't one of those "expand you mind" threads. Just one that may take you down Memory Lane for a bit.
I first saw it on Valentine's Day 1989 on the Million Dollar Movie, which used to come on KTRK-13 in Houston (before they replaced it with various talk shows). It made for a pleasant V-Day, I thought.
Please feel free to share your memories -

A couple of years or so ago.
Heard that '90s pop song for the jillionth time and got curious about the old movie it was referencing. iTunes had it for a price well within my means at the moment so I thought, "What the heck? Can't go too wrong with a Hollywood classic."
I'd've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids.

saw it for the first time yesterday, i kinda liked it, it isn't the sort of film im usually into but i wanted to give it a chance
audrey is indeed lovely in this film, her and peppard are very good actors, the micky rooney character is awful though (you know why)

I saw it in the early '60s, shortly after its release, at a drive-in. I was only about 12, and was more into western action films, but even then, I was really touched by the final scene. I've always liked the lyrics of the song, Moon River.

I saw it on Friday evening, today being Sunday, so almost two days ago. I enjoyed watching it, it's a light and sweet romantic comedy. I watched it in my Home Theatre, on Blu-ray and on my 133 inch diagonal front-projection screen, and the picture was phenomenal. Excellent restoration by Paramount.

I first saw it as a kid in the 1980s on TV at my grandparents' home.
It is one of my earliest memories of a movie that has stayed with me, and certainly one of the first classics I ever saw. I may have seen it the same summer I saw Charade on TV at the same house.
I just know I've been a fan of Hepburn and Grant since those days. -

When it first came out when I was 13. There is a reference to this in an episode of Sex and the City. Big played the LP for Carrie saying he could remember his parents dancing to Moon River and it was a good memory for him. Carrie made a face and said it was square or something like that. Andy Williams recorded it later and it became a huge hut. I don't get all the negative feedback concerning it. Mickey Rooney aside, it's a story of a girl who was ambitious and wanted something better then the situation she was in and did the best she could to improve herself and Peppard was a talented person who was having trouble getting ahead without help too. They decided to help each other. It was a novella, a character study really and I think it was translated well, and Truman, you were wrong to have wanted Marilyn Monroe, you would have never got the same picture. Whom ever decided Audrey was right was right, as J. Berman said, it took them a year to get that accent out of her.

While I knew of it since I was around 9 years old, I didn't see it until age 27, on April 8th, 2008. I remember the exact date well because it was my four-year anniversary with my then boyfriend and he brought the DVD over for us to watch. It was one of those "not my typical fare at the time and I didn't think I'd get into it but ended up falling in love with the movie and, in turn, with Audrey and I have loved the film and her ever since" deals.
