How old were you in 1961?

I was about 5. I didn't see this movie until many years later, but I remember the haircuts, clothes, cars, and all the smoking everybody did from that time.

I was -3 years old. 👻

I was six and we were living in Brooklyn. I made my first trips to Manhattan that year, with my cousin to see my first Broadway shows (Bye Bye Birdie, Sail Away and The Sound of Music). I first saw Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) on its television premiere on CBS in 1966 when I was 11. Five years is not very long, but they seem long to an 11-year-old, and New York City changes very quickly (and also the 1960s brought even bigger=than-usual changes in fashion, architecture, etc. everywhere) so Breakfast at Tiffany's brought me back to those first trips to Manhattan, and still does today.

I was just a year old in 1961 - but heard of it when I was very young. Didn't see it in full until last night. Gorgeous film evoking a special time and place, the beginning of the Kennedy Camelot.

I was seven, but "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was a bit over my head at the time. I was more into the Three Stooges and Abbott and Costello.
