Quinta Avenida, 5:00 AM

Audrey Hepburn was -and still is- one of the most iconic stars that Hollywood has produced. However, the image that many of us have of her (delicate, delicate, fragile) is far from reality. On Fifth Avenue, 5:00 AM, Sam Wasson finally introduces us to the flesh-and-blood woman behind the little black Givenchy dress that turned the world upside down in 1961. This first cultural chronicle of the making and filming of Breakfast with Diamonds reveals little-known details about the creation of this classic film and literary work and the real people who inspired it. Truman Capote desperately wanted Marilyn Monroe to play the leading lady and reserve the role of narrator for himself; George Axelrod's script underwent numerous changes due to censorship; Blake Edwards filmed several denouements; the studio wanted to remove "Moon River"; Audrey herself was reluctant to take part in the film because she was worried that it would ruin her career. Led by a colorful cast, including Edwards and Capote, Colette, Edith Head, Mel Ferrer, Hubert de Givenchy, Henry Mancini, Billy Wilder and, of course, Audrey Hepburn, the author of The Big Goodbye plunges us into 1950s America, before Woodstock, the pill, and the Women's Liberation Movement, when a not-so-virginal young woman named Holly Golightly rocked the country, forever changing fashion, movies, and even the sexuality of Americans. americans.
