"A rom-com colossus, and one that has been aped and emulated in everything from Notting Hill to Trainwreck."—Kevin Maher, Times UK
In her first starring role, the legendary Audrey Hepburn took home the Oscar for her portrayal of a modern-day princess who rebels against her royal obligations exploring the streets of Rome on her own. While out on the town, she meets an American newspaperman (Gregory Peck) who feigns ignorance of her true identity hoping for an exclusive story. Naturally, his plan falters as they inevitably fall in love. Featuring Eddie Albert as a carefree cameraman pal, a classic Dalton Trumbo screenplay, expert direction from William Wyler, and Edith Head’s Oscar-winning costumes, this gem of the Golden Age of Hollywood features some of the most notable players in the industry and remains a timeless romantic comedy among the best ever made.
