"Moon River" Trivia
* The song "Moon River" was written especially for Audrey Hepburn, since she had no training as a singer. The vocals were written to be sung in only one octave.
* At a post-production meeting following a screening of the film, a studio executive, in reference to "Moon River," said, "Well, I think the first thing we can do is get rid of that stupid song." Audrey Hepburn stood up at the table and said, "Over my dead body!" The song stayed in the picture.

"Moon River" Music by Henry Mancini Words by Johnny Mercer Moon River, Wider than a mile, I'm crossin' you in style someday... Oh dream maker, You heart-breaker, Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way... Two drifters, Off to see the world, There's such a lot of world to see... We're after the same, Rainbow's end, Waitin' round the bend, My huckleberry friend Moon river and me.
