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 breakfast, music, motion and/or picture:
“You had your breakfast in bed before,
But you won’t have it there anymore.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
“I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Two children, all alone and no one by,
Holding their tattered frocks, thro’an airy maze
Of motion lightly threaded with nimble feet
Dance sedately; face to face they gaze,
Their eyes shining, grave with a perfect pleasure.”
—Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)
“no picture is made to endure nor to live with
but it is made to sell and sell quickly
with usura, sin against nature,
is thy bread ever more of stale rags
is thy bread dry as paper,”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
