The newcomer named Audrey Hepburn gives the popular old romantic nonsense a reality it has seldom had before.

TIME Magazine
[Wyler] times the chuckles with a never-flagging pace, puts heart into the laughs, endows the footage with some boff bits of business and points up some tender, poignant scenes in using the smart script and the cast to the utmost advantage.

Rating: 5/5 --
Immaculately directed by William Wyler, and written and played with style and grace, this is a film to treasure, both for its endearing action and marvellous performances.

Only the big screen can do justice to its scintillating monochrome images.

Wistful HOLIDAY remains one of the most popular films by director William Wyler, a three-time Oscar winner.
USA Today
What a never-to-be-forgotten brief holiday it was, befitting one of filmdom's true regal princesses.

Product Description:
This classic romantic comedy introduced Audrey Hepburn to audiences as a modern-day princess. Stifled by her royal entourage on a trip to Rome, Hepburn's Princess Ann escapes to explore the Italian city on her own. While incognito, she falls in love with an American newspaperman, Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck). When Bradley learns of Ann's true identity, he finds himself torn between following his nose for news--and turning her into a big story--or the growing affections of his heart. A hit in 1953, ROMAN HOLIDAY won Hepburn an Academy Award for Best Actress, and was also notable for its Oscar-winning story by then-blacklisted Dalton Trumbo (credited as Ian McLellan Hunter).
