According to one report, the film's on-location opening sequence outside Tiffany & Co. was extremely difficult to shoot, due to issues related to crowd control, Hepburn's dislike of pastries, and an accident that nearly resulted in the [[electric shock|electrocution]] of a crew member. However, another report claims the sequence was captured rather quickly, owing to an unexpected lull in city traffic.<ref>[http://www.moviefone.com/2011/10/05/25-things-breakfast-at-tiffanys-anniversary/ 25 Things You May Not Know About 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160628205704/http://www.moviefone.com/2011/10/05/25-things-breakfast-at-tiffanys-anniversary/ |date=June 28, 2016 }} at moviefone.com, 5 Oct 2011</ref>
