The Roman Holiday-review





The Roman Holiday (1953) has been directed by William Wyler and written by Dalton Trumbo. It is a remarkable love story of Princess Ann, played by Audrey Hepburn, and Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), an American newspaper reporter. The plot revolves around the princess’s surreal experiences as a common person and the joy she feels out of simple things that were otherwise deprived to her for being Royalty. The acting of both Hepburn and Peck is stunning. Both the roles have been performed to perfection, and though it feels like a regular Bollywood love story, it differs from the very quality of the execution of the script. The acting is subtle, classy and smooth. There is neither an overflow of emotions nor any unnecessary drama.
