Not only was Audrey Hepburn a wonderful talent, she was also an amazing humanitarian. She and her family lived in the Netherlands under Nazi occupation during World War II when she was age 10-16. Her uncle was executed and one of her brothers was deported to a German labor camp (he survived), but Audrey raised money for the Dutch resistance by giving underground ballet performances, brought food and messages to downed Allied flyers, and volunteered at a resistance hospital. They even hid a paratrooper in their home during a major battle, and she almost died during the Dutch Famine late in the war. In the late 80s and early 90s, she was an ambassador for UNICEF, and helped provide relief for Ethiopia, Turkey and Somalia, among others. George H.W. Bush awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom shortly before her death.

The film is full of amazingly brave people. Besides Hepburn, the director of this was William Wyler (THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES, THE HEIRESS, BEN HUR, etc), who flew in bombers during WWII (lost his hearing because of this). And supporting actor Eddie Albert (Irving) rescued a bunch of marines at Tarawa (one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific). (Peck was 4F because of a back injury, don't want anyone to think poorly of him)

Audrey was at a boarding school in England until 1938. Her mother took her out of school and sent her to live in Arnhem in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safer. The Germans invaded the Netherlands in 1940. Arnhem was not a good choice either. It is located on the Rhine and had great strategic value in WW2. The film "A Bridge Too Far" is about the battle for Arnhem.

"Rome. By all means. Rome!" Fun Fact: After filming, Gregory Peck informed the producers that, as Audrey Hepburn was certainly going to win an Oscar (for this, her first major role), they had better put her name above the title. They did and she did. Also, Roman Holiday is the first American film to be made in its entirety in Italy and the leads' tandem use of the Italian Vespa 2-stroke scooter kindled an unprecedented public interest in the vehicle after the movie's release.

Also, the screenwriter, Dalton Trumbo (who won the Oscar for Best Story for this movie) was blacklisted in Hollywood during the McCarthy era and for awhile, he was uncredited until as late as 2011 when his name was finally included in the opening credits. There’s even a biopic of him, Trumbo, starring Bryan Cranston who was Oscar-nominated for playing him.

I'm sure Gregory Peck told the story many times. The interview I saw, he mentioned that his agent had put in a lot of effort to get Peck's name at the top of the billing. After the first week, he called his agent and told him, "You better get my name off the top, because when she wins the Oscar and I don't I'm going to look like a fool." I first saw this movie on TV, when I was in high school. I was talking with a friend about it, and how good it was. My friend's father was there, and he said, "When I saw it in the theater, there wasn't a dry eye in the house."

Fun Fact: Gregory improvised losing his hand in the Mouth of Truth scene. Audrey had no idea what would happen. Her reaction is 100% real. The chemistry between them is amazing. Also when they screen tested her for the role, the producer instructed the cameraman to keep rolling after he called cut. Her interactions convinced him she was a once in a generation talent. You're so right - when she is on screen you can't look away.

That was a scenario that would never work out. The ending, the symbolism of the pictures given to her, that tear on her face as she turns to walk away, the look he gives back as he's walking away. The perfect day, unrequited love, never to be surpassed, or forgotten. It's like a perfect day forever captured, stolen from fate, and immortalized in memory. As good as it gets. Forever there's and there's alone. Imagine if she'd given to passion, lost her throne, maybe succumbed to scandal. It would have ruined the story, the romance, become something less. By ending it like that, its forever beautiful.

By the end, they both grow up and realize the value and importance of self-sacrifice. Their encounter was all the more profound because it was brief.

Peck was a class act. He was about 36 years old when they filmed Roman Holiday, so about 12 years older than Hepburn. He suggested that they give Hepburn equal billing on the poster and in the opening credits, even tho it was her debut film - an unheard of gesture of kindness. Oddly, the film was not a huge financial success in the US when it was first released, even tho Hepburn won the Oscar for Best Actress. It has grown in stature over the years and AFI ranked it #4 on their Top 100 Romance movies list.

It's an amazing film; you should definitely watch it on the channel!

I'm just baffled at how William Wyler never seems to come up in discussions of the greatest directors ever. And even more than that, looking up anything about his life shows that he was a truly good person on top of his skills as an artist. Just look at how he was a notorious perfectionist with his films, getting him the nickname 50 Take Willy, but unlike someone like Stanley Kubrick, he managed to do it without being a huge asshole, and just about everyone who ever worked with him was left glowing about what a fantastic experience it was.

Perhaps he's not the household name that Hitchcock, Kubrick or Spielberg is, but among cinephiles, he ranks very high. He directed one masterpiece after another - Dodsworth, Jezebel, The Little Foxes, Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives, The Heiress, and of course, Ben Hur. I remember many years ago catching the last of Ben Hur on TV one Easter season. It was the scene when he returns to his deserted home - it goes for minutes on end with no dialogue whatsoever. The camera tells the story, the sign of someone in complete control of his craft. I knew then that he was a master storyteller, and started to pay closer attention to him. Every one of his films repays multiple close re-watches. One of Yasujiro Ozu's favourite films was The Heiress.

Hepburn plays the adopted daughter of a frontier family with a SECRET! She is so beautiful that most of her films has some sort of romantic plot.

I met Gregory Peck at Danny DeVito's beach house in 1992. He's the most impressive actor I've ever met. He towered, had presence, and when I shook his hand mine vanished in his and I felt like I was a kid touching an adult's hand.

Audrey Hepburn is a true icon across so many categories, style, grace, humanitarianism, talent, the list goes on. I definitely recommend seeing more Audrey movies. See the original Sabrina (it leaves the other for dead), My Fair Lady, and Funny Face for starters. You won’t regret it.

Cass, this was definitely your movie! I knew you'd love Audrey. She is missed. BTW, the Motion Picture Code in those days didn't allow sex/nudity scenes, gory violence, swearing, etc. What you see here is emphasis on story, characters and mood. It's a true gem of a picture. Thanks for your wonderful reactions.

Well, the Code as written was ruled unConstitutional in 1952 (Burstyn v. Wilson), so "Roman Holiday" could've been made with a tad more frankness, but most filmmakers were afraid - or, truthfully told, didn't have the clout - to NOT self-censor their works. Otto Preminger, Hitchcock, and Billy Wilder did have the clout and acted accordingly, with spicy results. "The Man with the Golden Arm" (Preminger) and "The Seven Year Itch" (Wilder) violated the old Breen Code, for example. But the problem in the 50s and early 60s was: what's really "obscene", anyway? The whole notion of "codes" was in essence a violation of 1A. The "new" Code under Shurlock was comparatively broad, but the one-two punch of Lumet's "The Pawnbroker" (1964) and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1966) knocked out any semblance of a "film code" forever, and hello guidelines, i.e., the MPAA ratings system. Btw, the execs at KZfaq could stand to read that old ruling, Burstyn v. Wilson. This website is WAYYY too forcibly wholesome, unConstiutionally so. KZfaq needs a ratings guide.

I was answering her question as to why things were presented onscreen in the way they were presented. Plus, what I was trying to say to her was good filmmakers could make any film great, even with restrictions. The aforementioned Masters (although, personally, I think Preminger is way overrated) worked within the boundaries and made amazing and very enjoyable movies. I really think Cassie has a better-produced reaction channel (in my professional opinion). I have checked out others and they just aren't as well-done as this one.

I'm afraid I've with most of the other commenters, I actually love that they didn't end up together. It's so sad, and beautiful, and romantic. I thought it made it so meaningful that she gave up her freedom and happiness for her people, and he gave up his story to protect her. And both understood the sacrifice and love that it took. Not really a happy ending, no. But it is beautiful.

I've never seen this one, but I always remember seeing an interview with Gregory Peck years later where he said that after seeing the completed film, he went to the director and said, "I think this girl is going to win an academy award, and if we don't put her name above the title we're all going to look like idiots!" So they did, and she did win best actress for her first movie, and became a tremendous international superstar practically overnight. If you liked this one, you should also check out the original version of Sabrina, which starred Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina, Humphrey Bogart as Linus, and William Holden as David. When you see it, you'll understand what kind of ego it must have taken to even consider remaking it, and you'll also appreciate even more just how good the remake is, because it's just as good as the original, which is fantastic.

In many ways Audrey Hepburn was a real princess, a princess of the silver screen, of stage and she did sing the original Moon River for Breakfast at Tiffanies . She was an ambassador and worked with Gregory Peck, whom you now love, Cary Grant, whom you WILL love, Humphrey Bogart, Sean Connery, George Peppard and so many others, even James Garner and James Coburn and Fred Astair to name a few. She was great in everything but especially the romance movies.

She showed me this film after watching Sabrina and my initial falling for Audrey Hepburn. Anyway, I was absolutely loving the movie and she turned to me close to the end and said “you know this can’t have a happy ending, don’t you?” I was so mad!

This is a movie i wish you could've seen with your sis. It would've been a doubly perfect recation in my opinion. Gregory Peck was a top leading man in Hollywood in that era. He was the headliner of the movie. Upon finishing the movie he knew that Hepburn's performance was flawless and would make her a star in Hollywood despite her being somewhat of an unknown actress at the time. Peck called the studio executives producing 'Roman Holiday' and demanding that she get equal star billing for the film. The studio execs relented and put Hepburn's name next to Peck's name on all promotions and on the opening credits of the movie. Glad you enjoyed. I've seen the movie countless times and because it is one of my all time favorite movies. Each and every time i anguish at the ending hoping that the characters run into each other's arms again and live happily ever after as i wipe my tears. Just don't tell anyone or i'll have to turn in my "macho man" card in. LOL!!!😉

The Oscar for Best Story was given to the credited writer, Ian McLellan Hunter, BUT it was actually written by Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted at the time and could get no work in Hollywood under his real name. The Academy tried to fix this by giving an Oscar to Trumbo's widow in 1993. Ian Hunter's son retains the original Oscar statute, as he refused to give it up.

We should also take note of Eddie Albert as Irving. Eddie ended up better known for his television work (his TV career stretched from the first made-for-TV play in 1936 through the 1980s), but he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor here (he got another nomination later) and he had a fine film career. The role I know him best for is "The Longest Yard" (1974), opposite Burt Reynolds. (Good Lorde. You haven't seen Burt Reynolds yet, have you? Let's put it this way: women in the 1970s adored Robert Redford and Paul Newman and Warren Beatty, but their dirtiest thoughts all were about Burt Reynolds. With good reason.) In addition to being an actor, a singer and a dancer, Eddie also worked as a clown, which is why all those stumbles and falls that Irving takes when Joe keeps knocking him over work so well. Although he was 10 years older than Gregory Peck, Eddie outlived him, going on to age 99. His son, Edward Albert, was also an actor. You'll see him when you watch Clint Eastwood in "Dirty Harry" (1971). Edward took care of Eddie in his final few years (Eddie had Alzheimer's but was still physically capable), but then passed away only one year later, at age 55, from cancer. (Don't smoke, kids. Seriously, don't.) Finally, Eddie was also a war hero. Although he turned 36 shortly after Pearl Harbor and the US entry into World War II, Eddie enlisted in the Coast Guard and in 1943 he rescued 47 Marines who were under fire at the battle of Tarawa in the South Pacific. Got a medal and everything.

Royalty could absolutely not marry commoners back then. She would have had to abdicate to be with him and it would have likely been a big scandal. She would probably have been considered to be selfishly giving up her responsibilities to pursue her own desires. I think the more realistic ending elevates the movie, as you can really see how the princess will remember and cherish the day and her first romance for her entire life, and probably never tell anyone about it. It's a private experience that the two of them will always share.

Counterpoint to the charming narrative of what happens after: The ending of this film is, for Gregory Peck, an expression of true love. She walks away, but he knows that while they could never have worked, or been allowed to work, he gave her one perfect day, and her joy in that is enough to leave him with a lasting joy. She walks away knowing that duty requires she walk away, but the smile telling us she will hold tight to the memory of her day with him. Also, it's tough to go wrong with any of her movies.

Joe was the wonderful, handsome, romantic, lovely-voiced Gregory Peck, and you really need to get to know him. I first saw him when I was under 10 years old, in a tv broadcast of "Moby Dick", and though he played Ahab and scared me silly, I loved him, and have ever since. Irving was a happy presence for me as he was played by Eddie Albert, popular as the central character in the old tv show, "Green Acres"; and after 2019, this movie has a special place for me because I spent about a week in Rome, enjoyed myself completely, and now, as I watch this movie, I can annoy my family by shouting out from time to time: "I was there!" "I walked around there!" "I saw the little green lizard on the wall right there!" William Wyler is one of the great names in movie direction: so many of the actors he directed have been grateful for the awards they've won after working with him. He directed Peck again in a favorite western of mine, "The Big Country". Charlton Heston reluctantly played a supporting role there; his agent said he wouldn't regret it, and indeed, Wyler cast him as the main character in the epic move "Ben Hur". So glad you liked this one!

This movie's cinematic parents are the first cinematic rom-com "It Happened One Night" and "Casablanca", the set-up owing to the first film(street-smart American Guy finding Rich Heiress on the Run), the mature, realistic, and heartbreaking finale to the second film. Royalty taking "holidays" probably goes back to Roman drama; certainly Shakespearean comedy, and, a touch more recently, Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper". As with "Casablanca", this movie is finally about Decent People Doing the Right Thing, rather than seeking ONLY self-fulfillment. Also, should be noted that Elizabeth II had just been coronated the year prior, so there was an appetite for this.
