I had seen it several times, but don't ask me about the story line - I would not remember. To me it has not been, and shall never be a movie. I feel like I am staring at the Sun and see nothing else but the Sun.

It is simply two hours of watching the second most beautiful lady to ever grace this Earth (the first one being my wife).

It is seldom that the personality is THIS much greater than all the suroudings. The only two movies that come to my mind that I can watch ANY time, as many times as possible, are the "Tiffany" and the "My Fair Lady". I have done my share already.

So I can't draw any comparisson, sorry. I don't think one would be possible. Audrey was not, strictly speaking, an actress - not a "good" one in a usual meaning of that word, anyway. To compare hers to some fine acting by some fine acressess is perhaps misleading. Her presence was not about acting, but about her, well, presence. Many even great acressess are replaceable. She is not.
