I was just a year old in 1961 - but heard of it when I was very young. Didn't see it in full until last night. Gorgeous film evoking a special time and place, the beginning of the Kennedy Camelot.

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.

I was -3 years old.

I was about 5. I didn't see this movie until many years later, but I remember the haircuts, clothes, cars, and all the smoking everybody did from that time.

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.

Born in 1954. Never saw it, ever, till tonight on TMC. I liked parts of it because it reminded me of Mad Men. Not in quality, but just the recreation of the era was nostalgic for me.

I was a long way off, but my dad would have been 5 years old.
I still marvel at how different the early 60s were compared to what came later. Men still wore suits and hats, women skirts and dresses, big old boxy cars, and everyone seemed to smile at each other and whistle as they walked down the street.
