As a model of romantic literary films in film history, "Roman Holiday" has a simple plot and no major production scenes, but it is one of the most enduring Hollywood romantic comedies.

In the film, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck's rivalry is full of sparks, which is the most perfect interpretation of the fairy tale love between a modest gentleman and a fair lady, which is touching. The unique style of the ancient city of Rome, the light-hearted jokes, and William Wheeler's tense control of the love scene have become the source of the film's enduring charm.

Hepburn's acting skills were brought into full play at the end of the meeting in the film, and the meticulous audience will find that in this long smile, it contains from the joy of seeing a lover to the excessive pain of finding parting sadness. "Roman Holiday" made Audrey Hepburn, although this is the first time starring, but won 26 Oscars for best actress.
