    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Audrey Hepburn's salary for the film was $750,000 (roughly equivalent to $7.3 million as of 2022), making her the highest paid actress per film at the time.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the movie the name "José" is always said with the Hispanic pronunciation of the letter "J" (ho say), but the character is said to be Brazilian. Although Brazil has a Spanish-speaking minority, especially in the borderlands with Argentina and other nations, the nation's primary language is Portuguese, where "J" is pronounced similar to the French fashion as in Jean or Jacques.
    • Quotes
      • Paul Varjak: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somaliland. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
      • Paul Varjak: [takes out the ring and throws it in Holly's lap]
      • Paul Varjak: Here. I've been carrying this thing around for months. I don't want it anymore.
    • Alternate versions
      The 45th Anniversary DVD release of the film includes revealing footage of the nightclub stripper that was previously left out of the earlier DVD and video releases. Blake Edwards planned to include the extended striptease sequence in an alternate version of the film for European release.
