Overwhelmed by her suffocating schedule, touring European princess Ann takes off for a night while in Rome. When a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, however, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter, Joe Bradley, who takes her back to his apartment for safety. At work the next morning, Joe finds out Ann's regal identity and bets his editor he can get exclusive interview with her, but romance soon gets in the way.

This is one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn films. While her later work is also great, this film is just so fun. Audrey is classy and beautiful and yet also does a great job embodying the naivete and that intense desire for a normal life. There plenty of fun moments and a sweet romance. This will always be an unforgettable Hepburn classic.
I only recently learned of Audrey Hepburn's involvement in the Dutch war resistance, which reminded me that I've seen so few of her films. I've been correcting this mistake, and I was honestly quite surprised by this film. I'm quite happy with how it ended, especially as any other end would have seen Bradley's machinations be rewarded - either financially or by winning the girl. It's aged much better throughout than, say, Breakfast at Tiffany's.
A perfect chicken soup movie--Peck and Hepburn couldn't possibly be more charming or have more chemistry. It's a delight from start to finish, without a wrong step throughout. I love this movie.
I don't like olde timey movies and I don't like romantic comedies, but Roman Holiday reminded me of the best parts of my past and let me forget the worst parts of my present. I have an affection for Audrey Hepburn that borders on the unhealthy. She personifies for me all that is good and pure in life, and thus all that is pure and good in cinema, as cinema is life. And, my God, that ending!
