Roman Holiday (1953): Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck


     Directed by William Wyler, Roman Holiday (1953) was credited to writer Ian Hunter but was really penned by Dalton Trumbo, who had been blacklisted and was forced to keep his name off the production. The film marked the starring lead debut of Audrey Hepburn, who deservedly won the best Actress Academy Award in her very first headlining part. The story focuses on a beautiful princess, bored and frustrated with her daily routine, who runs away on a fun-filled adventure through the ancient sites of Rome in the company of an American news reporter (though she is unaware that he works for the press). Charming, elegant and humorous throughout, the film is unforgettable… a true Classic. The whole cast does a wonderful job, including Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck and Eddie Albert.
