Roman Holiday

Pros: Charismatic leads, great Roman setting, fun plot which isn't completely predictable
Cons: Nothing

My mom talked constantly of the 1953 film Roman Holiday I finally got around to watching this charming film, and I can see why she loves it as much as she does. As compared to the cookie-cutter romantic comedies currently being churned out, ...

Pros: Peck and Hepburn's chemistry, Albert's great comedic performance, the wonderful script, the Roman setting
Cons: None

ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953) Roman Holiday is simply the best romantic comedy ever made in the history of film. This film makes other romantic comedies seem unqualified to call themselves romantic comedies because it perfects the formula so gracefully. Being ...

Pros: Wonderful performances, and Rome shines
Cons: Could have benefitted from some edits

Roman Holiday is a beautifully bittersweet romance starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck (originally, it was optioned by Frank Capra, who had hoped to cast Cary Grant and Elizabeth Taylor in the lead roles). Hepburn plays the spoiled Princess ...

Pros: Star chemistry, fantastic location settings
Cons: Really, nothing

Roman Holiday is the movie that made Audrey Hepburn a star. Here she was introduced to the world. Audrey stars as a runaway princess from an unspecified European country who slips away from her stuffy formal life while on a state visit to Rome. ...

Pros: Stunning locations, beautiful Audrey Hepburn, romantic and charming......
Cons: ....if you can get past Gregory Peck's lying and taking advantage of Hepburn!

My father wants you to know that Audrey Hepburn was his favorite and most beautiful of all actresses. Sigh. I would think most men would go for more of the bombshell-pinup-sweater girls( Lana, Ava, and Rita); but no, my father just loves Audrey.
...

Pros: You can practically hear the electricity crackling between Hepburn and Peck.
Cons: Absolutely Nothing!

This film is as close to a fairy tale as you can get. Not to mention, it features two of the most charming people to ever grace the silver screen, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

The plot is simple, Hepburn plays Princess Anne, a confined...

Pros: Hepburn, Peck and the story are superb
Cons: None

Anyone who is a fan of Audrey Hepburn, and even anyone who isn't, will love this beautiful classic film co-starring the gorgeous Gregory Peck.
Shown in black and white just adds to the wonderful old fashioned style movie ranked as one of the most...

Pros: Funny, romantic, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck!
Cons: Some people don't like black and white

Is there any question why Audrey Hepburn won an Oscar for her role in this movie?? In one of her first movies Hepburn really shines. The plot of this movie is like many other movies--boy meets girl-fated love story. Well, this is one of the best, by...

Pros: Audrey Hepburn in a great role
Cons: Wyler's stodgy direction detracts

No one in movie history made a debut quite like Audrey Hepburn. She was barely detectable in movies like “The Lavender Hill Mob” (1951) before she got her big break in William Wyler’s “Roman Holiday” (1953) playing a princess on a goodwill tour. Her...

Pros: Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, the ending
Cons: None to speak of

I am a little ashamed to admit it, but I only became a fan of Audrey Hepburn after her death in 1993. So much of the media paid tribute to her life and career that I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for knowing so little about such a popular...

Pros: Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck
Cons: Nothing

I love this film! A lot of films have tried to emulate the rich girl meets poor boy theme, but nothing quite beats the original.

I saw Roman Holiday on TV two years ago, and I was positively glued. What is this? Where did this come from? Who...

Pros: Great cast, wonderful story
Cons: The fact that it ends

It took awhile, but I finally saw this film all the way through and, boy, am I glad I did. It's rare to find an onscreen couple with such great chemistry and magnetism. It's obvious in every moment of the film that Hepburn and Peck were having a...

Pros: cast, cinematography, script, story, direction
Cons: character turns, landlord plays soldier

Roman Holiday was the film that made Audrey Hepburn a star. In her first leading role, she was very well cast as a sheltered teenaged princess in search of romance and adventure.

Hepburn radiates youth, innocence and vitality. She...

Pros: Wonderful performances from Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck, Roman locations, great family movie, Nominated for many Oscars, won 3
Cons: Gregory Peck didn't win the Oscar for this!, Blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo couldn't take credit for the film until many years later

In "Roman Holiday," Audrey Hepburn plays the princess of an unnamed European country on a multi-city goodwill tour of Europe. By the time she reaches Rome, the pressure of her position and the demands of her constant scheduling cause the...

Pros: actors, Rome
Cons: ?

I've mention this movie in passing many time, i figured i'd better review it. I saw this last summer as yet another attempt to see Rome again six months later. Not all that much was different and I saw virtually the same sites except half of it didn't...
