Roman Holiday
Dir: William Wyler
1953
*****
Roman Holiday isn't without it faults but each one of them is completely forgivable. William Wyler's classic is a beautiful romance from a golden age of film making. Interestingly, this film led the way for film to be filmed on location rather than in the studio which makes it quite important in the history of cinema. Audrey Hepburn is a goddess, I never tire of watching her films. Rome and its people are also a big part of what makes this film great and I could watch it over and over and never get tired. Beautiful and really very funny too, with a killer script with performances to match.
