Roman Holiday (1953) starring Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn. Young princess (Hepburn) visiting Rome on state business goes AWOL, meets American reporter (Peck), falls in love. Unbeknown to her, however, the reporter is working on a story about her during the whole day they spend together. This was Hepburn's first American movie role, and she won an Oscar for it. She is very appealing in this film. The movie was shot entirely on location in Rome. One caveat: In accordance with the time it was made, this movie is rather naive about sex. Also, I wish it had been shot in color so that the glory of Rome could have been fully shown. I was satisfied with the ending -- it ended, not as we might have wished, but as it had to. There are subtitles in English available, as well as closed captions. Grade: A-
