The film jettisoned several characters and obscured just how Holly and her Huckbleberry friends made a living; the silver screen version was more like a fairy tale, although Hepburn and her leading man, George Peppard, were both superb.

‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’: Check, Please (Column)
I tried my best to leave my bias against the celebrated film behind, but by the time I got to the part in the movie where the narrator's character is tall, handsome "Paul" (played by George Peppard), I couldn't help but feel cheated.

More on Breakfast at Tiffany's
Description from Wikipedia:
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American film starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, and featuring Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and Mickey Rooney. It was directed by Blake Edwards and released by Paramount Pictures.
Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Holly Golightly as the naive, eccentric socialite is generally considered to be the actress's most memorable and identifiable role. She herself regarded it as one of her most challenging roles to play, as she was an introvert who had to play an extrovert. Hepburn's performance of "Moon River" helped composer Henry Mancini and lyricist Johnny Mercer win an Oscar for Best Song. The film also featured what was arguably George Peppard's greatest acting role and the high point of his career. The film is loosely based on the novella of the same name by Truman Capote.
