that photographer does not fit at all in this movie cause he looks too much like someone who's seen an iphone and drinks coffee at starbucks while working from his macbook, i think he's a time traveler

fact: rome, italy, was not actually a city until the year 1953 when it was created for the setting of roman holiday. it was so life-like that the city continued to flourish long after filming had ended. tourists can still visit today to have their own roman holiday at all…

Audrey Hepburn is honestly the cutest person to ever grace the silver screen. I've only seen two of her films but she is slowly becoming one of my favorites. The last scene in this movie kind of broke my heart. Reminded me a lot of La La Land.

Roman Holiday

My favourite Audrey Hepburn movie! I personally enjoyed Roman Holiday better than Breakfast At Tiffany’s (I know! I know!) the story was fun and entertaining and who doesn’t love Audrey Hepburn?!

Roman Holiday

I’ve seen a thousand love stories where the relationship is based on lies, in the middle of the movie the protagonists get to know the truth, in the end they reconcile. This story is different and has that half-real half-magic feel of La La Land. Also listen to “Arrivederci Roma”

DP loved

Roman Holiday

This reminds me of fav movie ever, Only You, for some reason. I thought the first part was a bit boring but it really picked up halfway through. They fell in love kinda out of nowhere imo but I loved the plot and scenery.

Audrey was in fact and will always be a princess, can't think of anyone better than her for the role. One of the best romances, was ahead of its time.

Roman Holiday

What a movie! Audrey kills it in everything, and sometimes (like in Breakfast at Tiffany’s) it hurts the overall movie because the other cast’s acting flaws are more exaggerated next to the pro, but the cast in this movie killed it. I’ve never had more fun watching an older movie

Roman Holiday

Great screenplay with endlessly funny situations. Hepburn is just a delight with her effortless charm and beauty. I could have done with less deceit between the characters, but I guess that's the trope, and overall it's a cute, innocent, very funny visit to Rome.
