Excellent but underrated film

Admirable film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Roman Holiday (1953) is a Romantic Comedy starring Audrey Hepburn as Princess Ann and Gregory Peck as Joe Bradley. Princess Ann seems to have it all- She's beautiful, she's rich, she's classy, and everybody loves her, but inside she feels that something is missing. Princess Ann is sheltered and she wishes that there were more to her life. She runs away from her guardians and falls in love with an American newsman in Rome. The best things about Roman Holiday are the acting of Audrey Hepburn, the overall mood of the film, and the chemistry between the leads.Princess Ann is stunning and perfect. Audrey Hepburn is perfect in every film so it is no surprise that she is lovely here as well. As you are watching this film you will no doubt relate to how she is feeling inside. She has grown up now and she wants to experience the world- the simple things in life that most people experience. She doesn't want to have to be classy all of the time and keep up an act. Her part is very believable and will have you rooting for her to find love.Roman Holiday is the ultimate chick flick because it is a classic romantic comedy. Like most romantic comedies, Roman Holiday combines an interesting couple with great chemistry and unique personality traits with hilarious situational comedy. The conflicts are generally light and entertaining when done well, making it perfect for a Girl's Night In. The way that the two main leads meet is very funny. She was drunk and laying outside. When Princess Ann meets Joe Bradley, you can instantly tell that he is going to be a love interest of her's because of the chemistry between them. He examines her behaviour and makes observations. He takes her to her house in a taxi cab and continuously makes jokes. The whole scene is hilarious and lighthearted and sweet and it will have you hoping that they will get together. Princess Ann is too drunk to speak and Joe Bradley takes her to his house instead. Both Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck do a good job at acting in love in the movie and they are a great looking couple. Overall, Roman Holiday is a great classic film that I would recommend to anyone who loves watching old movies. Audrey Hepburn is only 22. She looks much older as she has perfectly formed features, is tall and commands the room. She is always classy in everything she does. Even laying drunk in the street, she looks like a goddess. This movie is spectacular even though the plot is simple. It is hilarious. I love the part where Joe Bradley tries to convince his boss that he actually went to interview the princess when he had not. Overall, the acting of Audrey Hepburn, the overall mood of the movie, and the chemistry and believably of the main leads make this an excellent timeless classic movie to watch.

Spoilers. Observations. Opinions. Delightful. Nice scenery. Charming, if light, story. Black and white makes it lose one point for me. Poor Eddie Albert is the loveless sidekick. He gets things spilled on him. He gets knocked on his backside. He is the unfortunate second banana in the background, off to the side. I never heard much adoration about Audrey Hepburn in her lifetime, but for some years now I've heard many nice things said about her. She wears the costumes well, here. There is the regal princess gown, the casual town ensemble and then there is the white suit at her ending interview. Gregory Peck was fine. He had a lot of tongue in cheek humor. Some of his winks and nudges didn't quite hit well with the slow witted character portrayed by Albert. Nice scenery and location shots. This was post-World War Two Italy. There was an outdoor market. People looked a little more prosperous than in the recent wartime. The Vespa scooter looked good, plus the tiny little car Albert drove. Tourism was rampant. Peck was always broke, yet he could afford to get a new living space with a kitchen. I am a degreed historian, actress, singer, dancer, stage makeup designer, film critic and movie reviewer.
