Audrey Hepburn became a star with this film, in which she played Princess Anne, weary of protocol and anxious to have some fun.
On a diplomatic visit to Rome, Anne escapes her royal retainers and scampers incognito through the Eternal City. She meets an American journalist (Gregory Peck), who, recognizing a hot news story, pretends that he doesn't recognize her and offers to give her a guided tour of Rome, while his photographer pal Irving (Eddie Albert) attempts to sneak a photo. And just as naturally, Joe falls in love with her. Filmed on location in Rome, with Oscars for Hepburn and the screenplay, this is the perfect film for Valentine's Day.
