Description of this Roman Holiday Poster
Roman Holiday is an American romantic comedy directed and produced by William Wyler in 1953. It stars Audrey Hepburn in the role of a princess who sets off alone to discover Rome and Gregory Peck in that of a journalist. Hepburn won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance; story and costume design also received accolades.
The screenplay was written by John Dighton and Dalton Trumbo, but the latter being on the Hollywood blacklist, he was not credited and Ian McLellan Hunter replaced him. Trumbo's credit was reinstated when the film was released on DVD in 2003. On December 19, 2011, credit for Trumbo's work was reinstated. Blacklisted director Bernard Vorhaus worked on the film as an assistant director under a pseudonym.
The film was shot in the Cinecittà studios and surrounding areas of Rome during the era of "Hollywood on the Tiber". The film was presented at the 14th Venice Film Festival as part of the official program.
In 1999, Roman Holiday was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry due to its cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance. The film is considered one of the most romantic films in cinema history.
Crown Princess Ann is touring European capitals on a tight schedule to promote goodwill and improve trade relations in her unnamed country. After a particularly difficult day in Rome, his doctor gives him an injection and advises him: "The best thing I know is to do exactly what you want for a while": "The best thing I know, it’s about doing exactly what you want for a certain amount of time.” When she finds herself alone, she secretly leaves her room and her country's embassy to witness city life. The effect of the drug then takes effect and she ends up lying down happily on a stone bench. Joe Bradley, an expatriate journalist from the "American News Service", found her there without recognizing her. He thinks she is drunk and, feeling protected, he takes her to his apartment to rest.
The next morning, Joe rushes to arrive late for work and gives his editor, Mr. Hennessy, false details about his attendance at the princess's press conference. When Hennessy informs him that the event has been canceled and shows him an article about the princess's "sudden illness" with a photo of her, he realizes who is sleeping in his apartment. Seeing an opportunity, Joe privately calls his photographer friend, Irving Radovich, to secretly take photos. Joe then tells Hennessy that he will get a high-profile exclusive interview with the princess and asks how much it would be worth. Hennessy offers to pay $5,000, but bets Joe $500 that he can't get it.
Joe and Ann cross Rome on a Vespa scooter.
Joe rushes home and, hiding the fact that he is a journalist, offers to show "Anya" around Rome. But Ann declines Joe's offer and leaves. Taking advantage of her freedom, she explores an open-air market, buys a pair of shoes, observes the people and daily life of Rome, and gets her long hair cut. Joe follows her and “accidentally” finds her in the Spanish Steps. This time he convinces her to spend the day with him, taking her to a street cafe where he meets Irving. Anya tries to give Joe a Vespa ride through Roman traffic, but Joe and Irving show their "fake" press cards and the group is released. They visit the Mouth of Truth, where Joe makes Ann believe that his hand was torn off, then the Colosseum.
That evening, at a dance party on a boat to which her hairdresser had invited her, government agents called by the embassy spot Ann and attempt to take her away by force. Joe, Irving and the hairdresser rush to save her from the kidnappers. Ann joins the fight that breaks out. As the police arrive and subdue the officers, Joe and Ann flee, but after Joe falls into the river, Ann jumps into the water to save him. They swim away from the dance and kiss, shivering on the bank. Later, in Joe's apartment, as they dry their wet clothes, they share tender, bittersweet moments. Regretfully bowing to her royal responsibilities, Ann asks Joe to lead her to a corner near the embassy, where they kiss again. She says her goodbyes in tears and resumes her duties as princess.
Joe decides not to write the article, but he tells Irving that he is free to sell his photos. Joe and Irving then leave to attend the postponed press conference at the embassy, much to Princess Ann's surprise. Joe assures Ann (in words she will understand, but the other reporters won't) that he won't publish anything about their day together. At the end of the interview, the princess unexpectedly asks to meet the journalists and speaks briefly with each of them. When she joins Joe and Irving, the latter gives her his photographs as a souvenir of Rome. She and Joe exchange a few harmless words, before she reluctantly leaves. After the rest of the press leaves, Joe stays for a while, then leaves alone.
