lyrics from "Moon River". My favourite version is sung by Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast At Tiffany's".

4. Classic Film. Thanks niyad for sharing my huckleberry friend's origin.

amazon.com customers find this movie to be a classic with stunning visuals, particularly Audrey Hepburn's performance, and appreciate its entertainment value, noting it promises lots of laughs and is a wonderful classic to watch multiple times. They describe it as a sweet romantic love story and a classic 1961 romantic comedy/drama. The plot receives mixed reactions, with some praising the iconic ending while others find the plot-line mind-numbingly boring.

7. Further background on the song. Composed by Henry Mancini, lyrics by

Johnny Mercer. "my huckleberry friend" is a nod to his boyhood friend, with whom he would pick huckleberries by the river.

An idle thought: one wonders how many people found the plot "mind-numbingly boring", because it centered around a woman, with actual dialogue, with no car chases, no explosions, etc (all of which **I"" admittedly find "mind-numbingly boring", including a lack of dialogue).
