Spend the Weekend with Audrey Hepburn at the Paramount [Film]

Coming to the Paramount this Saturday and Sunday: 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's and 1963's Charade, both featuring the effervescent Audrey Hepburn. These two films share something else in common, as they are both scored with music by prolific composer Henry Mancini.

Based on a novella by Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's -- indeed more than just a reference made in that catchy song that came out during our teenage years -- stars Hepburn as Holly Golightly. Holly Golightly, a role for which Hepburn garnered an Oscar nom, is a 20-something party animal who never lets anyone know her too well. Handsome author Paul (George Peppard) moves into her apartment building and attempts to get to know her, falling in love with her in the process.

The film is notable for a biting performance by Patricia Neal as Paul's patroness, the sweet moment when Audrey Hepburn sings Mancini's "Moon River" on the fire escape, and a terribly racist portrayal by Mickey Rooney of Golightly's Japanese landlord. And of course, the film opens with the famous scene of Audrey Hepburn eating a Danish in front of the window at Tiffany's. A bonus if you catch the film at the Paramount on Saturday or Sunday afternoon: martinis and manicures will be offered! Saturday's martini/manicure packages are already sold out (regular tickets are still available), and the spaces are quickly filling up for Sunday's martini/manicure package. The ticket for this special package is $20. This film screens Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26 at 2pm & 6:40pm.

Slightly lesser known, but still as wonderful a film, is Charade, which pairs Ms. Hepburn up with dashing silver fox Cary Grant. Reggie Lampert's (Hepburn) world turns upside down after her husband's death, when she discovers he was involved in some shady dealings. The attractive man she met earlier on a skiing holiday (Grant) attempts to help her out, but she's unsure if he's to be trusted. Hepburn won a BAFTA for her role in this quirky thriller directed by Stanley Donen. This film screens Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26 at 4:20pm & 9pm.
