Synopsis
New York City, 1945. While the war winds down in Europe and the Pacific, coeds Marjorie Jacobsen and her best friend, Marty, arrive fresh from the Kappa House at the University of Iowa for a summer filled with culture, adventure, and temporary work. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany's, becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor--a diamond-filled day job that was the envy of all their friends. Summer at Tiffany is the enchanting story of that unforgettable time as the girls rub elbows with the world's rich and famous--Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland and Vincent Minelli, and even Old Man Tiffany himself--pinch pennies to eat at the automat, dance weekends away with dashing midshipmen, dream of Bergdorf dresses, and fall in love. In between getting lost in Harlem, watching the Eisenhower Parade from the steps of the Public Library, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with Café Society, the girls fall in love, learn unforgettable lessons, make life-changing decisions, and create unforgettable memories of an exciting time long past., Do you remember the best summer of your life? New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor--a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller's--and the envy of all their friends. Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous; pinched pennies to eat at the Automat; experienced nightlife at La Martinique; and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with Caf Society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us., New York City, 1945.
