Visible crew/equipment: Just before Paul sits down on the box in front of Holly to show her the book commission that he had just earned, a microphone flashes into view on the right side of the screen. (01:07:30)
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Blake Edwards
Starring: George Peppard, Audrey Hepburn, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen
Revealing mistake: In the taxi scene at the end of the movie, the steering wheel turns back and forth but the driver's hands are not moving.
Paul Varjak: Holly, I'm in love with you.
Holly Golightly: So what?
Paul Varjak: So what? So plenty! I love you. You belong to me.
Holly Golightly: No. People don't belong to people.
Paul Varjak: Of course they do.
Holly Golightly: I'm not going to let anyone put me in a cage.
Paul Varjak: I don't want to put you in a cage. I want to love you.
Holly Golightly: It's the same thing.
Paul Varjak: No it's not. Holly...
Holly Golightly: I'm not Holly. I'm not Lula Mae, either. I don't know who I am! I'm like cat here, a couple of no-name slobs. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.
Trivia: Audrey Hepburn's salary for the film was $750,000.
Question: When Paul knocks on Holly's door and she isn't wearing anything, she says to him "would you turn around? Oh, never mind, it's such a silly line anyway - I'll turn around instead." What joke is she referring to?

Answer: Holly is referring to the fact that people often ask others in the room "Will you turn around?" when they are dressing or in the nude, so the person cannot see them naked. She is simply stating she thinks it is odd that the second person is always asked to turn around, when the person herself could turn around.
