Roman Holiday

Directed by William Wyler
1953
★ 6.6 editorial score

Audrey Hepburn became a star overnight and Dalton Trumbo wrote the script while blacklisted: a princess slips her handlers for one unscheduled day in Rome, with a reporter who knows who she is.

“Gregory Peck plays Joe, a US news stringer in Rome who one night stumbles across the story of the century: a beautiful, shy young woman, eager for some adventure with him as her guide. She turns out to be demure Princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn), from an imaginary European country, who has escaped from all the embassy stuffed shirts and is now incognito and on the town...A lovely film.”
— Peter Bradshaw · The Guardian
