Roman Holiday

This is trully one of Hollywood's gems. Audrey Hepburn shows once again her endless charm, beauty, intelligence and talent as an actress. She's my favourite actress ever, and her movies are also my favourites. Hepburn and Gregory Peck have unbelieavable chemistry! They are great together.
Roman Holiday is not only about great actors and performances, but also excellent visuals and cinematography. We get to see Rome perfectly and beautifully shot, the movie covers the city's most famous and fine places. The costume design is breathtaking, even though it's in black and white, we can appreciate perfectly every one of Audrey's dresses, specially the iconic blouse and skirt we see in the picture. The screenplay is magnificent, every word is carefully thought, creating a smart and well achieved homour. The direction by William Wyler is flawless, of course, as well as the art direction by H. Tyler and WH. Pereira.
The format of the story, or at least the main idea, has been copied several times, but of course not one of the copies have gotten even close to Roman Holiday's cinematographic level. As some say, 'Always copied, never equalized". This film is one of those few that will endure in time forever.




GO AUDREY!
