Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

The Rooney-scenes were worse than I remembered, practically everything else richer to an unimagined degree. "I understand completely." The gags in the party scene ("The Party"), how Edwards obviously has fun in "spy thriller"-mode, John McGiver at Tiffany's the mise-en-scene which brought Sirk to mind. The book at the bus station, "Never Love a Stranger"! After "10" and seeing this again, no more convincing necessary: Blake Edwards was major.

+ more research on Truman Capote and George Axelrod definitely needed.

"All my accomplishments are in the past." 

"What I used to able to pass off as a bad summer could now potentially turn into a bad life."

 "I'm nostalgic for conversations I had yesterday. I've begun reminiscing events before they even occur. I'm reminiscing this right now. I can't go to the bar because I've already looked back on it in my memory... and I didn't have a good time."

My Philosophy of Life

[...]
"Still, there's a lot of fun to be had in the gaps between ideas.
That's what they're made for!  Now I want you to go out there
and enjoy yourself, and yes, enjoy your philosophy of life, too.
They don't come along every day. Look out!  There's a big one..."
