Nominated for a total of 10 Oscars®, including Best Picture, it's the story of a modern-day princess who, rebelling against the royal obligations, explores Rome on her own. She soon meets an American newspaperman (Gregory Peck) who pretends ignorance of her true identity, in the hopes of obtaining an exclusive story. Naturally, his plan falters as they inevitably fall in love. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

The purest story that touches the heart. Audrey Hepburn's angel and Gregory Peck's charisma play wonderfully in their time in an amazingly witty comedy with believable romance. And just when I started thinking that Wyler was overdoing it a bit, the ending came with a press conference and a climax full of deep gazes, the sweetest smile, and a stylish departure...

Watching this couple is simply a joy. Peck and Hepburn understand each other perfectly and there is necessary chemistry between them. You will simply fall in love with them, also because they are in Rome and this is actually a fairy tale about a princess and a prince who unfortunately is not of noble descent. A wonderful example of how Hollywood knew how to make romances that are beautiful, emotional and story-wise interesting. I'm just afraid that the past tense is appropriate.

Audrey was sweet as always, plus she and Gregory lit up the screen. The beginning was funny, as time went on the joke faded and you could slowly feel what was coming. And then a bittersweet ending comes, what else? Say goodbye and face your responsibilities. A black and white romantic comedy that I can easily recommend to everyone. It's not stupid like the ones that are currently being made in Hollywood. A better 4 stars.

I was really looking forward to Roman Holiday, but it doesn't compare to what I actually got! I could say without hesitation that this is the best romantic film of all time, and that would still be an understatement. A gorgeous Audrey Hepburn (does she also reminds you of Natalie Portman?), a handsome Gregory Peck and magical Rome full of beautiful ancient monuments. An unforgettable combination that runs like clockwork. 100%

Audrey is magical in this sweet film, but Peck is stiff, though charismatic. Or maybe you noticed the look of being in love on his face? Still, that doesn’t detract from the chemistry between them. Roman Holiday offers a playfully imaginative screenplay, the foolishness of Italian culture, humor and adventure, and mainly a nice idea derived from the premise on which the romantic plot is based.
