#87. Roman Holiday (1953)


Director: William Wyler
Screenplay: Ian McLellan Hunter, Dalton Trumbo (story) & John Dighton
Cast: Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Eddie Albert, Hartley Power, Harcourt Williams, Margaret Rawlings

Quote: "At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper."

Audrey Hepburn in her Academy Award winning role as Princess Ann, the princess who runs away from the palace for one night and one day to discover the real world and what she has missed. We also follow reporter Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), who is "supposedly" showing her around, but he's dependent to maintain friends with her to sell an interesting expose to a major paper. What he doesn't realize is that he'll fall in love, with a woman who isn't allowed to fall in love...unless he's royalty.

OSCAR winner for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Audrey Hepburn), Best Motion Picture Story & Best Costume Design
