Breakfast at Tiffany's: Music from the Motion Picture is not the soundtrack from the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn. Henry Mancini routinely released albums recorded at RCA Recording Studios in Hollywood that contained arrangements of music from his scores. The arrangements were designed to be more accessible to the listening public. In recent years a poor quality stereo bootleg CD of the actual soundtrack and an authorized CD of the actual soundtrack have become available in limited quantities as well as an extended version of this album with bonus tracks. The tracks were composed and conducted by Henry Mancini, except for "Moon River" and "Moon River Cha Cha", which were also composed by Johnny Mercer. At the 1962 Academy Awards, Mancini and Mercer won Oscars for Best Original Song for "Moon River," while Mancini picked up a second statue for Best Original Score. The album also stayed on Billboard's album charts for over ninety weeks.

Famous quotes containing the words motion picture, breakfast, music, motion and/or picture:
“The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“You had your breakfast in bed before,
But you won’t have it there anymore.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
“... the majority of colored men do not yet think it worth while that women aspire to higher education.... The three R’s, a little music and a good deal of dancing, a first rate dress-maker and a bottle of magnolia balm, are quite enough generally to render charming any woman possessed of tact and the capacity for worshipping masculinity.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“in the mind of man,
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
