Roman Holiday Submit your own review for this movie

Roman Holiday

Audrey Hepburn enchants as the ingenue princess who escapes from her minders while on a visit to Rome and ends up under the wing of Gregory Peck's American journalist. Director William Wyler's triple Oscar-winning romantic comedy is an object lesson in charm and Hepburn (who got the role after Elizabeth Taylor and Jean Simmons both dropped out) delivered the perfect balance of elegance and naivete. Makes you want to dash out and buy a Vespa!

William Wyler's enchanting romantic comedy won Audrey Hepburn an Oscar.

The elegant actress plays a princess spending 24 hours incognito in Rome.

She's squired by a reporter and photographer, who are well aware of her real identity, and are out for a scoop for their paper.

A series of small but delightful incidents subtly builds up our identification with the characters, lending a great charm and making the climax a truly moving movie moment.

Eddie Albert offers a richly humorous account of the photographer, and Gregory Peck's casual romantic style is ideally suited to the role of the reporter.

As the princess, Hepburn brought a unique blend of naive charm, refinement and elegance to the part that justly made her Hollywood's newest star.
