The Ultimate Audrey Hepburn Collection

Collection of six Audrey Hepburn classics. In 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' (1961) Hepburn stars as Holly Golightly, an eccentric high-class escort working in New York.

When young writer Paul Varjack (George Peppard) moves into her apartment building, Holly helps him overcome his writer's block and he falls in love with her.

But the arrival of a figure from Holly's past throws doubt on their burgeoning relationship.

In 'My Fair Lady' (1964), a musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's popular play 'Pygmalion', Hepburn takes on the lead role of Eliza Doolittle.

Eliza, a common cockney flowergirl, becomes caught up in a bet between two phonetics experts as Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison) accepts the challenge of transforming Eliza into a lady through elocution lessons.

The film includes classic songs such as 'Wouldn't It Be Loverly', 'The Rain in Spain', 'I Could Have Danced All Night' and 'Get Me to the Church On Time'.

In 'Roman Holiday' (1953) Princess Anne (Hepburn, in her Oscar-winning American screen debut) becomes bored with royal protocol while in Rome and eludes her regal entourage.

Down-at-heel American reporter Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck) realises he has a major scoop on his hands when he meets the Princess and convinces her he doesn't know who she is.

Roping in a photographer friend, Bradley takes her on a tour of Rome, but his cynical journalistic designs come under threat as the pair begin to fall in love.

In 'Sabrina' (1954) Hepburn plays the daughter of a chauffeur to a rich Long Island family.

Though considered almost a relation by the family, Sabrina (Hepburn) harbours little hope of a relationship with the family's youngest son David (William Holden), despite being in love with him.

However, when Sabrina returns from an extended stay in Paris she finds that not only David but his elder brother, Linus (Humphrey Bogart), are taken by her charms and she must deal with the inevitable difficulties of choosing between two brothers.

In 'Funny Face' (1956) bookshop worker Jo Stockton (Hepburn) is noticed for her superficial charms rather than her intellect by magazine photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire).

When Dick talks her into going to Paris to model, the pair soon become romantically involved.

The film simultaneously pokes fun at the shallow world of fashion and the more pretentious elements of the Beat Generation movement.

In 'Paris When It Sizzles' (1963) secretary Gabrielle Simpson (Hepburn) turns out to have more imagination than her Hollywood employer.

Richard Benson (William Holden) has committed to producing a screenplay for Hollywood producer Alexander Meyerheimer (Noel Coward), but having spent most of the last three months boozing in Paris he is badly behind schedule.

With just three days until his deadline he hires Gabrielle to assist him and her imaginative spark turns out to be just the thing he has been missing.
