The two things that I've decided to compare and contrast are two different Audrey Hepburn movies. The two movies are "Breakfast At Tiffany's" and "Charade". Both happen to be favorites of mine.
In "Breakfast At Tiffany's", Audrey plays Holly Golightly. She meets a young man when he moves into her apartment building. He doesn't have a key and needs her to buzz him in. Holly works as a high-priced escort and searching for a rich, older man to marry. .
Holly has a cat, named Cat. She found him as a stray. When she found him she didn't think that it was appropriate to give him a real name because they didn't belong to each other.
Her neighbor, Fred, is dating his decorated. She thinks that they are being spied on since she is cheating on her husband with Fred. Fred ends up falling in love with Holly. .
Holly and Fred one-day end up spending the entire day together doing nothing but things that they think are fun. They go into Tiffany's because Holly hasn't been able to buy anything in there before. Fred happened to get a ring from a Cracker Jack box, and asked how much it would cost to get it engraved, since they didn't have enough money to buy any jewelry.
Charade was made in 1963. It was made just two years after "Breakfast At Tiffany's." In Charade, Audrey Hepburn plays Regina 'Reggie' Lampert. She is on vacation with her sister and nephew in the mountains when she meets Peter Joshua, who is played by Cary Grant.
While Reggie was vacationing, her husband sold everything that they owned. They were in the process of getting a divorce when she left. When she returned from her vacation she found out that her husband had been murdered. .
Peter just happens to work for the CIA. He is trying to track down money that was stolen by Regina's husband. The money that was stolen came from a WWII payroll. His three partners are also interested in finding the money. His partners kill Reggie's husband by throwing him off of a cliff while riding on a train.
