The year was 1966 and the iconic duo made up of Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn starred in the film, "How To Steal A Million". Above, is a photo opt, shot of the pair during a break while filming. Peter is strutting a smooth jacket and what appears to be a polka dot tie of some sort. While the graceful Audrey Hepburn, is captured in a double-breasted navy wool coat designed by who else? Long time collaborator and muse too Givenchy.
Blake Edwards has directed such beloved films of ours that we cherish here such as "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "The Party". The genius Edwards passed away on December 15, 2010.
We consider his interpretations of films from the 1960s era filled with classic and golden moments. Blake is seen here strutting a cordoury coat, while giving instructions to Audrey Hepburn.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" which was released back in 1961, is not only a cult classic in the fashion and cultural world of cinema but it was the iconic Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard that delivered the most memorable scenes from Edwards most famous film.
Watching Audrey as Holly Golightly exit a taxi and walk right in front of NY's iconic Tiffany shop is one of the most iconic scenes in history. The same title as the film, is actually the name of a Truman Capote novel as well. Strutting the streets of the Upper East Side in a black dress, with pearly white pearls, and Wayfarers while eating a pastry and sipping coffee while window shopping is something we all like-minded shoppers picture ourselves looking like from time to time. What could only make my next shopping extravaganza perfect, is if I had "Moon River" playing in the background as I browsed gracefully.
In the photo opt above, Blake Edwards was spotted filming a scene on the morning of October 2, 1960, at around 5am. The purpose you ask? Well, he obviously wanted to get thee essence of transistion from night to morning. Apparently it's like they say, there's more than what meets thee eye. Although Audrey may have looked flawless during the film but it was her dislike for eating pastries, the overshadowing crowds and a production crew accident which almost caused the actual filming process several hardships during this particular scene.
