[Los Angeles, Paramount Pictures, 1961]. Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo. Paper blurb is present on verso of photo coded “SS-88”. Fine.

Though executives wanted director Blake Edwards and songwriter Henry Mancini to dub the singing voice of Audrey Hepburn, they refused and it is Hepburn’s poignant rendition that graces the film and the version of “Moon River” most remembered. 

Here she takes guitar lessons to be used in her singing scene. Interestingly, she takes her lesson while wearing her famous little black dress.
