And no, I don't feel like letting it go.

And to think Truman thought Marilyn Monroe was right for the part (for the two or three of you out there who don't know, the movie Holly is way different than the book Holly).

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a very special memory for me for any number of reasons, but I think it might have been George Peppard in this role or possibly Lee Kinsolving in The Dark at the Top of the Stairs that caused my first episode of pre-pubescent screen lust.

Sigh.

And maybe the greatest soundtrack of all time. (I also recommend the Mancini soundtrack to Touch of Evil.) Thank you, Charles.
