I love this movie, and the scenes in Rome. It's fun and cheery and always puts me in a better mood.Newsman Gregory Peck is after a hot story and one falls into his path as a princess, played by Audrey Hepburn, who escapes from her royal entourage while on a state visit to Rome. She's simply fed up with all the rituals and pageantry.
Audrey won a Best Actress Oscar for her cute performance. Eddie Albert co-stars as Peck's photographer, and he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
The movie's depiction of a newspaper office with desks and typewriters is so old-fashioned and I can only imagine what it would be like in that office and living in one of those apartments that Gregory Peck lives in.
Certainly mustsee. I don't leave the 30s quite often, but for Roman Holiday I do. Anyhow Gregory is - as my eyes did analyze - the most beautiful man - after: Edward Arnold (no wonder, Arnold looks like a real angel in Easy Living).
ReplyDeleteSomehow I got "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" much too cheap (what a shame, I'd pay more now, after I saw it!) and there he's quite fascinating too.
Back to Roman Holiday: I had rather heated discussions with my step-mother when I was a school-girl about the quite not liberal ending, just crying for revolt. Today I certainly see: it has style, but somehow I still wish she would quit the royals.
Clarissa, you did it again - always naughty, always naughty!
Well, quitting daughters of kings and dukes - that even happened during the 1600s in France and Germany!
