What a wonderful movie! What a great romantic fantasy! It is one of my all-time favorites, one of the films I could watch several times, without getting bored. I don't think that the plot is important here, but the way the actors performed and the place where the story is set. In Rome, a European princess manages to escape the rigid and boring life and have and unforgettable experience, living for one day as a normal person. She does all the things that she was not allowed to do before, such as cutting her hair, eating ice-cream, strolling down the streets and why not, falling in love with an ordinary man. This is the role that brought Audrey Hepburn an Oscar and made her a well-known star. It is the natural and ingenuous performance that makes her such a charming and unforgettable character, a graceful presence on the screen. Her companion is Gregory Peck who has also a great performance and makes the film even more delightful. He plays the part of a young and charming journalist, looking for news that might increase sales of his newspaper and bring some money in his pocket. The DVD includes also a section with a kind of "making of": interviews of the people who participated at the shooting, memories, etc. This is even more interesting, as you will have the chance to listen to the people who were involved in this project, and the stories behind the scene. You will also see that time did not alter too many of Audrey Hepburn's features and even at an older age she still looks refined and elegant. I have one complain about this movie: 118 minutes seemed to be not enough for such a romantic story. I believe that everyone of us would like to dream about what is like to be lost in the "eternal city" for one day and enjoy the simple things of life. Comment | Was this review helpful to you?

If I had to choose...
hands down!
This is one of my favorite actresses.
Can't say I loved the ending but loved the rest of it. She was just so darn cute in everything she did.
tough choice..
I liked her character in Roman Holiday much better than the one in Breakfast. The princess was so much more likeable.
Breakfast at Tiffany's is great, but this one is just so sweet!! I love it!!
