A princess. A reporter. A fabled city. A timeless romance. 

 

See Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in William Wyler’s Roman Holiday! This award-winning romantic comedy about the intensity of love and the weight of one’s responsibilities has wooed audiences for over seventy years. See it on the big screen at Detroit’s oldest surviving neighborhood movie theater. 

 

Secretly co-written by Dalton Trumbo, who was then on the infamous Hollywood blacklist, Roman Holiday was filmed on location in Rome and has long sat within the Hollywood pantheon of all-time greats. It follows the unexpected and instantly deep connection between an incognito European princess and a charming American reporter. Over the course of a single, whirlwind day the pair embark on an enchanting (and often silly) tour of one of the world’s most iconic cities, zooming through the ancient streets on the 20th century Italian version of a fairytale steed: a Vespa motor scooter.  

 

It’s classic movie escapism with a hint of melancholy that will surely find its place in your heart.
