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

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.

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).
