Roman Holiday was Audrey Hepburn’s first major film role and sees her play a princess who, feeling trapped by her tight schedule, leaves her country’s embassy to see Rome on her own. She ends up innocently spending the night with a reporter (Gregory Peck) who has no idea who she is. He eventually finds out and, although he’s initially set on selling his story, ends up falling for the princess and suddenly his prospective scoop doesn’t seem as important anymore. The two share a brief, sweet romance with Rome as their playground, which they explore on a classic vespa.
