U.S.A. 1953
"Audrey
Hepburn's first starring role illuminated her unique qualities beautifully. It's
hard to imagine anyone else fitting the role of a princess quite so well, in
William Wyler's romantic comedy "Roman Holiday".
Hepburn is the epitome of poise and elegance as royalty on a tour of Europe. While in the public eye she maintains an immaculate façade, but she is less happy personally. The toll of endless engagements and no time for herself is slowly driving her to despair. And while in the bustling city of Rome, she makes her escape for 24 hours of fun.
Hepburn treats all these activities with
wide-eyed delight, steadily eroding the rather crusty Peck until romance begins
to blossom. Filmed entirely in Rome, the location does rather dominate the
movie. But within time the mix of silly comedy and innocent love turns the
viewer into a willing tourist. It's a trip that's over all too soon, but is a
delightful escape for all concerned."

Great disc. Super
transfer, deep blacks, sharp contrast, nice extras. the sound is
slightly weak, but it is not obtrusive into the film's enjoyment. This DVD
is a winner all the way. Bravo Paramount!
