Audrey Hepburn is a princess who falls in love with American newspaper reporter Gregory Peck in Rome. Gentle romantic comedy that revolves around the two leads and the sights of Rome. There is a very good performance from Audrey Hepburn as the princess having a day of fredom in Rome, in what was her break through film. This film shows Audrey Hepburn at her best as the innocent beauty full of life and well deserved by Oscar for Best Actress. This is a beautifully filmed innocent romance from William Wyler.
