Roman Holiday (William Wyler, 1953)



Roman Holiday (William Wyler, 1953)
Rating: 9.6

Story wise this is just another typical romantic comedy, but with the unforgettable backdrop of Rome, Italy, the uncanny presence of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, and the elegant execution of William Wyler, this film is an American classic. Being enamored by Audrey Hepburn, although not an original thought by any means, is completely justified. The charm and innocence of her mannerisms, and delivery is as captivating as her unmatched natural beauty. After watching A Streetcar Named Desire and Roman Holiday consecutively, I've decided, had Brando and Hepburn made a baby, it would be the most gorgeous human being to ever to live.


Peck trying to take the little girl's camera is absolutely hilarious to me.
