Re: Breakfast at Tiffany\'s
My wife and I watched it last week. My wife was actually amazed by Hepburn also. I guess she had only seen Hepburn when she was older and she thought (as did I) that she looked incredible.
They were a lot more subtle with Audrey's profession than with Peppard. We actually saw him get paid money and have an apartment paid for by the woman in question, then we had that woman willing to cut a check to him to keep him on retainer.
With Audrey, it was more subtle. We knew that she went on a LOT of dates. And that she got paid $50 to "powder her nose". But we didn't see her do the deed or even have it implied that she did the deed. She was almost portrayed more as an escort than as a call girl. (The fact that she wanted to get with the Brazilian guy for his money is not necessarily an indicia of being a hooker).
