Two of Audrey Hepburn's very best films, Funny Face and Breakfast at Tiffany's, are given the two-disc Centennial Collection treatment. Funny Face is the divine 1956 musical directed by Stanley Donen, with the eye of photographer Richard Avedon guiding the look, about a book store clerk (Hepburn) who is transformed into a supermodel by a photographer (Fred Astaire) and the acerbically funny fashion magazine editor (Kay Thompson). It's sublimely fun, with a gorgeous score and great locations (Paris, New York). ‘S Wonderful. The special features on the second disc include Kay Thompson “Think Pink”.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961) is the glossy romantic comedy based on Truman Capote’s novel with Hepburn as a bohemian New Yorker named Holly Golightly and George Peppard as the “kept” writer for falls for her. With Henry Mancini’s “Moon River” to seal the deal, this is one of those well-loved films peerlessly directed by Blake Edwards that shows off Hepburn’s infinite charm. The movie shimmers on DVD and the extras include The Making Of A Classic, Henry Mancini: More Than Music and plenty of other treats.
