Last night I met a group of writer friends — Rita Herron, Dorie Graham, Carmen Green, Tanya Michaels, Wendy Wax, and Stephanie Bond — at Piedmont Park for the Screen on the Green showing of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. We’re all scattered across the city and outlying suburbs so it was great to hook up. Throw down a big blanket on the lawn, a little wine, pass the fruit, and a smorgasbord of sandwiches, wings, stuffed grape leaves, and sushi. Oh, yeah, and Carm brought a big-ass bag of ice. :)
I thought I was the only human being on the plantet who’d never seen the movie, even though my friend Ellen loaned me the video months ago. Oddly enough, of the seven of us, only Dorie had seen the movie before. Wow! On the surface it’s amusing, but beneath it resonates with poignancy…talk about layers and characterization.
Anyone else seen it? What’d you think?
i have not.
