Things That Make Your Heart Go 'Squee!'

I am a romantic.  I am not, however, always a fan of Valentines Day.  But as that holiday is quickly approaching and romantic things are swirling all around, I felt inspired to share some of my favorite scenes from movies that involve romance/love/happiness/good-looking men.

Today's selection is a classic, in my humble opinion.  I adore Audrey Hepburn {and really, what sort of heartless person doesn't?}, and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is one of my favorite movies that she's in.  A lot of people remember the movie for the wonderful clothes that she wears or the horribly, politically-incorrect portrayal of a Japanese man, but what I love about the movie is the ending.  Holly, Audrey's character, spends the whole movie trying to get herself a wealthy man to take care of her, even though she falls in love with the poor writer, Paul {played beautifully by George Peppard}. 

In this, the final scene, she's taking a cab, about to leave for South America to marry a rich man she doesn't love.  She's trying to convince Paul {and herself} that she really doesn't need anyone {or anything - that's why she throws Cat out}.  And then, we get this:



Swoon.  Squee.  I love it.

Stay tuned for more tomorrow.
