Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and the Dawn of the Modern Woman by Sam Wasson provides some really interesting behind-the-scenes tidbits. The book is broken down into short, 3-4 paragraph categories (i.e., “THE DRESS”) which I think was a genius way of organizing all the information Wasson amassed about the film. It makes for a quick, satisfying read, especially if you have seen the movie. If you haven’t seen the movie, this provides the perfect excuse to watch it. Ideally, you’d watch it once, read this book, then rewatch it. I attend to sit down for another viewing as soon as possible now after finishing the book. I want to see it while the behind-the-scenes details are still fresh in my mind. Want to read this book for a while, gotta find it for kindle.
