Sex & Nudity

  • A man is seen lying in bed naked but seen waist up under the covers.
  • The two main characters are seen kissing passionately outside the apartment before the scene cuts. The scene picks up again with the man waking in bed the next morning, implying sex.
  • A nightclub striptease is seen in its initial stages, revealing the stripper's bare back. She undresses down to her waist but has on a bra. She then turns toward the audience, begins to unfasten the bra front, and the camera moves away at the last minute.
  • A few instances of kissing.
  • Some scenes in which characters are shown in bed.
  • Implied throughout is the fact that both main characters use their sexuality as a source of income. In Holly's case, she is a glamorous escort, though there is never a mention of her actually having sex with any of her customers (whom she calls "rats" and "super rats"). Paul is the "kept" sexual companion to a wealthy woman.

Violence & Gore

  • Holly Golightly has an uncontrollable, hysterical reaction to very bad news. She destroys her apartment and throws her cat against the wall.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Her long cigarette holder is played as part of her "wild" girl character.
