(B&W film) Spending 24 hours with a stressed out runaway princess, a down-on-his-luck journalist, and a womanizing photographer has never been more fun. Audrey Hepburn is equal parts charming, sophisticated, and relatable while Gregory Peck shares the screen with his great comedic role as a swindler with a heart of gold. The growing relationship between them feels natural and by the end you're yearning for the same resolution that the characters want. Highly recommended.

Audrey Hepburn has a kind of magnetic stage presence and persona that engage her audience most remarkably; in addition to capturing the dignity of royalty, she also manages to capture the freedom from obligation that a Roman holiday entails while engaging in a fun-loving relationship with Gregory Peck. Her combination of charm, beauty and acting ability are second to none.

I might be the only girl on the planet that's not in love with Audrey Hepburn but she is still a great actress and she played this part beautifully. This movie is classic.
