They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That its finest practitioners are subtle sophisticated individuals for whom nuance & subtext are meat & drink. & that mastering it is a lifetime's work. But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job. Which is a shame if you find yourself dropped unaccountably into a position of some significant diplomatic responsibility. If you don't really do diplomacy or haven't been to school with the right foreign bigwigs or aren't even sure whether a nod is as good as a wink to anyone sighted or otherwise then things are likely to go wrong. It's just a question of how badly... ...

Before Breakfast at Tiffany's Audrey Hepburn was still a little-known actress with few film roles to speak of; after it - indeed because of it - she was one of the world's most famous fashion style and screen icons. It was this film that matched her with Hubert de Givenchy's little black dress". Meanwhile Truman Capote's original novel is itself a modern classic selling huge numbers every year and its high-living author of perennial interest. Now this little book tells the story of how it all happened: how Audrey got the role (for which at first she wasn't considered and which she at first didn't want); how long it took to get the script right; how it made Blake Edwards' name as a director after too many trashy films had failed to; and how Henry Mancini's soundtrack with its memorable
signature tune 'Moon River' completed the irresistible package. This is the story of how one shy uncertain inexperienced young actress was persuaded to take on a role she at first thought too hard-edged and amoral - and how it made Audrey Hepburn into gamine elusive Holly Golightly in the little black dress - and a star for the rest of her life."
