The Santa Monica KCET Cinema Series ended yesterday with a screening of the Johnny Mercer scored film, 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.'
About the film:
To celebrate Johnny Mercer we will show the 1961 classic Breakfast At Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn and, of course prominently featuring Mercer's and Henry Mancini's Oscar winning Moon River. This movie directed by Blake Edwards and based on the Truman Capote book is still a style and trend-setter today with numerous 'Tiffany's' inspired art and fashion. The film also won an Oscar for Mancini's score and premiered in October 1961, 50 years almost to the day of our screening.
