It's easy to criticize. Am looking at "Breakfast at Tiffany's" -

2 things: Audrey and CAPOTE.

So, I never paid attention to either. Never looked at any of their products, just liked the gossip about his later years burning his socialite "friends." And learning about her tragic roots.

But this Breakfast thing- wow, she is *STUNNING* and as for CAPOTE, who could imagine-out whatever this plot and characters are about?

And the whole thing has as a SIDE, "Moon River" - my 1965 Senior year graduating song?

Well, Audrey is nowhere annoying as Jane FONDA was in Barefoot in the Park - just for comparison (both Audrey and CAPOTE/Neil SIMON).

And I, then bearded but with roots in high school band and classical music, pooh-poohed the band.

And the saavy Hippie girl said, "It's easy to criticize... "

I guess we were supposed to feel ambivalent about Holly?
