Roman Holiday
Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn share the screen in William Wyler's celebrated 1953 romantic comedy, which won three Oscars including Best Actress. Princess Ann (Hepburn) travels to Rome as part of a meticulously planned publicity tour, where she has little free time to explore the glorious city. Suffocated by her itinerary, Ann sneaks out of her embassy and heads into the streets of the capital where she falls asleep on a bench and is discovered by handsome American reporter, Joe Bradley (Peck). He has no idea of the princess's true identity, even though he is due to attend a press conference for her the following morning, and eventually Joe offers Ann his couch for the night so she doesn't have to sleep on the streets. The next morning, Joe races to his office where he sees a picture of the princess and realises that he has the opportunity to snag an exclusive interview with royalty. So the media man bets his amused editor Mr Hennessy (Hartley Power) that he can land an interview, then heads back home where he conceals his profession from Ann to win the wager.
