This is truly one of my favorite movies. The story of a princess who gets to cut loose in Rome for a day, it also marked the starring debut of Hollywood royalty: Audrey Hepburn.

The romance with Gregory Peck is so sweet, Audrey is fresh-faced and feminine, and 1950’s Rome is breathtaking.

It’s so easy to see why she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for this.

i had to return this to the lib. it was v. late. i kept putting it off because it is b+w. i’ll have to wait until i get down to it on my netflix queue

I show this movie to my Latin class right before winter break every year. It was filmed entirely on location and you can see lots of beautiful Roman attractions as Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck run around the city. It’s actually filmed in black and white because the director feared the city would outshine the actors if he filmed in color.

i found it boring. and the story was plain. i do love audrey hepburn though.
