Back To Index Roman Holiday
 Barnes & Noble A charming and poignant fairy tale, Roman Holiday stars that most ethereal and graceful of actresses, Audrey Hepburn, in a role that nearly rivals her dizzying turn in Breakfast at Tiffanys. The plot? Once upon a time, a lovely princess tired of her ivory tower sheds her identity the romantic city of Rome with the help of a handsome American journalist (played by Gregory Peck). Though he initially cares more for the princess story than for the woman herself, his sentiments gradually shift, deepening and enhancing the movies emotional impact. Shot on location, scene after scene captures the citys magic, allowing the audience to share the princess joy in her newfound liberty. Whether shes swimming in the Tiber, smoking a cigarette for the very first time, or walking through glamorous mirrored halls -- an image that mulitplies the loneliness of her aristocratic life -- each experience fairly sparkles -- and is made all the more touching by the knowledge that it may be only fleeting. Beautifully directed by William Wyler (Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives,), and written by the esteemed Dalton Trumbo (Spartacus), this is Hollywood romanticismat its finest -- visually stunning, psychologically complex, and plotted with an emotional punch that makes tissues are essential as popcorn.
