    Yes, it has some questionable messaging regarding people "belonging to each other" and treating a middle-aged man marrying a 14 year girl as acceptable, to say nothing of Rooney's yellowface. It's far from a perfect film, but still dammed if it isn't charming because Audrey Hepburn can sell ANYTHING. The expected knockout performance from her, in a decidedly different type of role from what I've seen in Roman Holiday and How to Steal a Million, but still altogether HER. George Peppard and Patricia Neal also help round out this mostly good cast with great performances. Aside from that the film is genuinely laugh-out-loud funny at a number of points. Special note to the entire "out on the town" sequence from Tiffany's to the library to being very conspicuous shoplifters at the toy store. The film also has some real heart as you really see how these two characters grow closer together over time; a magic pixie dream girl basically done right (it helps that Peppard's character is so eager to go along for the ride and isn't without a hint of mischief of his own). The final scene in the rain had me in tears; that poor cat! At least everything turned out alright in the end. A solid Hollywood film from one of the greatest actresses ever.

      Editing … See below on the page for Egg's old review as well, which does a very good job of elaborating on the characters and the tone of the work.
