Breakfast at Tiffany's
A street‑wise hustler races to secure enough cash to keep her brother out of trouble, all while juggling a volatile romance with a struggling writer and his enigmatic, money‑rich benefactor who threatens to upend her precarious world.
“Audrey Hepburn plays that daring, darling Holly Golightly to a new high in entertainment delight!”
Synopsis
Holly Golightly is an eccentric New York City socialite determined to marry a Brazilian millionaire. However, when young writer Paul Varjak moves into her apartment building, her past begins to interfere with their growing connection.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 206+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
