Why is Roman Holiday a classic?

Roman Holiday has a simple plot, but it has become a world classic with the successful performances of the hero and heroine and the street view of Rome.

The film vividly integrated the sights of Rome into the plot and produced a very warm and pleasing romantic comedy.

Two people, one is a boring little princess who is tired of court etiquette, and the other is a cash-strapped little reporter. Although the days in Rome are short, the relaxed and comfortable time makes them feel the sweetness of love.

Although they did not come together because of their respective identities and responsibilities, Rome became a symbol of their eternal love.

Roman Holiday is a romantic film shot by Paramount 1953, which tells the romantic story of a princess of a European principality and an American journalist in Rome, Italy, in one day.

The film starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn was a great success and became a classic of Hollywood black-and-white movies. Audrey Hepburn also won the Oscar for Best Actress for this film.

William wyler has just finished making serious "The Heiress" and "Detective Stories" and wants to try romantic comedies, so he took over the film. Paramount initially decided to shoot in a Hollywood studio, but william wyler insisted on shooting in Rome, and the producer compromised.

Because the film cost is controlled below $654.38+$00,000, it means that the heroine can only use a low-paid newcomer. Hepburn, who had just entered the business at that time, received an audition call. At first, he just came with a perfunctory mood. Unexpectedly, this inadvertently made the most legendary audition in film history.

The crew suffered from the summer heat that Rome had not seen for many years, and the paint on the actors' faces melted, and they had to be cool and comfortable in front of the camera. Young Hepburn couldn't shed tears when he said goodbye to Joe. Finally, the director got angry and complained about wasting film. She cried at once.

On August 20th, 1953, "Roman Holiday" premiered in London, followed by Venice Film Festival, and finally achieved great success in the world.
