Breakfast at Tiffany's
The Oscar-nominated screenplay was written by George Axelrod, loosely based on the novella by Truman Capote. A number of changes were made to the storyline to adapt the story to fit the medium of cinema. Capote's novella included language that was toned down for the film. The character of 2E was invented for the movie. And the film changed the novella's unresolved, open ending to a more conventional "Hollywood" romantic happy ending.
The film was nominated for 5 Acadamy Awards: Original Music Score, Best Song (for Moon River), Best Actress (for Audrey Hepburn), Best Art Direction and Adapted Screenplay. It won the awards for Best Song and Orginal Music Score.
