I was 18 and I saw it in the theater the summer before I left for college, and it was all the rage on our campus.
I think a lot of the differences in opinion on this film are due to some of the wide age differences, and the contexts in which people remember the film.
Remember, it's a 55 year old film and very different from the average movie of the times.

I was six and we were living in Brooklyn. I made my first trips to Manhattan that year, with my cousin to see my first Broadway shows (
Bye Bye Birdie
,
Sail Away
and
The Sound of Music
). I first saw
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
on its television premiere on CBS in 1966 when I was 11. Five years is not very long, but they seem long to an 11-year-old, and New York City changes very quickly (and also the 1960s brought even bigger=than-usual changes in fashion, architecture, etc. everywhere) so
Breakfast at Tiffany's
brought me back to those first trips to Manhattan, and still does today. -
