Watch Roman Holiday For Free

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I must have seen this movie almost 10 times in my life, catching it on TV, and I find myself caught by the story again and again. I love everything about this movie: the actors, the scenario (Rome's background), and the music score. Let me talk about the qualities of this movie: Audrey Hepburn (in her official movie debut) is wonderful, and sparkles all the way trough, and really deserved her Academy Award for Best Actress in 1954. Gregory Peck is fantastic as Joe Bradley, the American journalist that befriends and gives her hospitality in his flat and eventually, after some comic adventures, falls in love with her. And Eddie Albert is just great, as Irving Radovich, Bradley's colleague that tries to photograph the scoop of Princess Anna's visit in Rome. Eddie Albert should have won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor because this is one of his best roles, but he lost it thanks to Frank Sinatra for ''From Here to Eternity''.I must add that Albert was good not only in comedy, like in ''Green Acres'', but also in more darker roles, such as the frightened Army Captain in ''Attack!'' and the psychotic colonel in ''Captain Newman, M. D.'', and it's so sad that he wasn't nominated for these two roles!This is also the first comedy produced in America filmed entirely in Italy, and Rome's backgrounds, such as Trevi's Fountain, Piazza Di Spagna and the Colosseum are perfectly fit in the movie. The music is also nice, because it's not with the silly Perry Como songs, but the score is composed by Georges Auric, and fits like a glove the character's actions.My favorite parts are: when Audrey lets the Vespa go and goes smashing trough all of Rome's street-markets, and ends with Bradley and Radovich at the police station; and the ending, when Audrey salutes all the press correspondents and Bradley is the last to leave the room, after thinking of his experience in Rome with a princess.It's one of my top favorite movies, and I recommend this movie to everyone, just for a careless evening in ''Old Hollywood Style''!

After World War II, the world entered a period of rehabilitation, and businesses began to rebuild themselves, contributing to the rebound of the economy. Due to the world's economic rebound, money slowly started to trickle back into many American households, leaving money for recreational purposes. A young woman who, like many, had been oppressed by the Nazi power in Europe, had just begun her journey in the recreational industry known as Hollywood. A young Audrey Hepburn was sent to attend ballet school and had been dancing ballet during the war time to bring joy to others. The entertainment industry which had been turned into a propaganda machine to ignite civilian support of the war was now being reverted into an enjoyable past time which didn't include the topic of the war in every screening. Unfortunately for America, after the war had ended, the nation entered the Cold War against the USSR. The films that came out during the 1950s were a form of joy and relief in a time of great insecurity in America as the country pa in the Cold War. One of the films which brought back the light and innocence to audiences was Roman Holiday, directed by William Weyler. Starring Gregory Peck and introducing young Audrey Hepburn, the movie captures the innocence and morality of the time, giving us a look back into a world which no longer exists.Although there may not have been complete peace during that time, this film reflects the respect that men had towards women, the chivalry of that time. There has never been such thing as a perfect world, but when considering human morality, there have been times where the world was much more safe and closer to perfect. In the beginning, when Joe Bradly (Peck) finds Princess Anne (Hepburn) asleep on the side walk, he stopped to help her get a cab, and when she was too tired to direct herself home, he took her home and paid for the ride. When at his house, he let her sleep on his own bed while he took the couch. He did not face the same way as the princess to honor her modesty. Keep in mind, throughout this entire time, he had no idea who she was and yet, he was a complete gentleman to this complete stranger who he found laying on the side walk. Today, a pretty well dressed woman would be harassed if she had passed out on the side of the street, or even at a college party. There have been many cases and trials of college boys who rape college girls who were unsuspecting and vulnerable at the parties. No longer is the world where men take care of all women.Now days, just being out alone at night as a young woman puts you at so many risks. Being unable to go out at night without others due to the way people in the world are now, Many people have no respect for others, and are completely self centered, willing to commit crimes against innocent unsuspecting passerby's, to fulfill a need of their own. The children could freely play on the streets and the neighborhood children were all friends, frolicking around, playing games, not video games, and getting fresh air and exercise. Due to the over population of the world now, there sometimes just isn't room for that. With towering apartment buildings, many families can't afford to live in a friendly neighborhood with a back yard and room to run around. They spend much of their afternoons staring at screens and don't get to practice basic social skills which are acquired through the afternoons of outdoor play with other children. Additionally, the family home has changed as no before, families could leave their door open all the time, and never needed to worry about anyone or anything happening to them. This is not the case now days, as burglars and thieves ruthlessly break into homes, stealing the hard earned possessions of the family. In the movie, Roman Holiday, Joe Bradly lives in the semi-crowded city of Rome. He does live in an apartment of sorts, but his building and the ones surrounding it are two story buildings, unlike the skyscrapers today. He is able to leave his door unlocked when he is away, and the only time he locks it during the movie is when Princess Anne is sleeping and he figured out who she was. He locks the door to make sure she doesn't leave as he wants to interview this significant figure, but it locks from the inside and Princess Anne would be able to exit any time she pleased, so he was not holding her against her will. This world no longer exists as there have been many cases of kidnapping of women and holding them against the will in a house as a slave. The safety of a house which is captured in the movie is in a world unlike today's, dangerous and suspicious world.In a less dramatic sense, the world which is filmed in the movie is no longer the same as the economy and technology has changed. In the movie, we see the antique cameras of the paparazzi and audio recorders when they are given the chance to interview Princess Anne. The cars which drive around are what we would consider old classic cars, the types which are mainly for show and collecting now, but then, everyone who drove had a car similar. The nostalgia in this video brings back a world which we have never known, and my never know again. Through pictures, videos, and music, life is preserved to be enjoyed for a time to come. Although this movie was made during a time of great panic and fear in the United States, the directors and film makers created a morally correct , and it brings the audience back to the realistic world with it's twist of an ending.

ROMAN HOLIDAY is a classic romantic comedy. It is one fictional tale, and a beautiful lie which is composed of laughter and emotion. The film tells about a young princess who escapes during an official visit to Rome and make friends with a cynical American journalist, who only wants the exclusive story, but later realized that he was falling in love with her. Lonely young princess unknown European countries spend a magical day with an American journalist. The junction between the young ladies of high society and unpolished common man has already seen. I think the director was aware of that fact. For this reason his is paid more attention dialogues, comedy, romance and the main Italian city. I must say that the atmosphere in the film special. Scenery and the picture are at a high level. „It Happened One Night."Although the director made sure that this movie looks as natural as possible, simply is too much in common. Princess' love affair in the Eternal City is what this film gave a special charm. Tenderness, love and playfulness in one being triumphs over cynicism and professionalism in another being. If so ask things, this movie is really one magical trip. Gregory Peck as Joe Bradley is strong and masculine character. The change in the character is visible. That is great. I think this is the best show last frames of the film. Chemistry has succeeded, so his performance is more than good. Audrey Hepburn as Princess Ann (Anya Smith) is slender and beautiful girl. Regardless of childish behavior, I think that in her character feels seriousness. She is aware of its obligations, satisfaction, loneliness and love. Romance in this film, I never would have called it an affair. This is truly a romantic vacation.They do not make more such films. A short break full of satisfaction.

Some people called old but gold this film absolutely fit that description.It's romantic and emotional film and actor and actress perform very high.Also that film show us Roma's beauty and historical place.If you want to go Roma city I think firstly you should watch this film.William Wyler's film quality always very good , we can see Ben-Hur and The Best Years Our Lives.On the other hand Audrey Hepburn very good and beautiful too this movie.My opinion that film about money not enough to single happiness.Today it become old popularity The Roman Holiday.I hope in the future lots of people will watch this movie and have a fun.
