2. The Mouth of Truth scene is still fresh in many people's memory. Pike recalled that he had a friend who liked to tuck his hands into his sleeves, which inspired him. At that time, he told the director of the idea, but he was worried that it would be too cunning and creepy. The director's answer was also very encouraging. I think this idea is wonderful, but don't tell Hepburn, let's just pat and see. In fact this scene was filmed only once from start to finish, so all of Hepburn's reactions we saw were made completely unknowingly, pure first reaction, haha, she's so cute.
3. Dalton Trumbo, whose screenplay was written, has not been given any credit for a long time because in 1947 (the period of McCartneyism) he and nine other Hollywood figures rejected a Congressional request to identify themselves. A friend or colleague who is a red (historically known as the Hollywood Ten) is blacklisted and asked by Congress to stop any work. The director William was not moved by this bad political atmosphere, and still used the talented Dalton to write the script for Roman Holiday, but his name could not be listed in the movie because of the blacklist, and the contribution of the script was " On loan" to Ian McLellan Hunter. The film was a hit, everyone fell in love with the comedy, and the Oscars enthusiastically awarded Hunter the Best Story award without knowing it. While Ian Hunter did give Dalton some of the money he got from the film, it's true that his guilt isn't common in Hollywood. In 1993, the Oscars re-awarded the best screenplay award to Dalton, 17 years after his death.
4. The Star Billing (a sentence that promotes the film and the stars and confirms the remuneration) that has been prepared before the film is made and released is: Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday and Introducing Audrey Hepburn. Parker recalled that when he saw the title, he thought it was ridiculous. Although it was Hepburn's first big film and it was unknown, Parker had already discovered her amazing talent at the time. At Parker's urging, Hepburn's name was brought to the forefront and paid the same as himself. Behind this unusual move, Parker is saying this, not that I'm being generous, but that anyone who's seen Hepburn's performance knows it'd be stupid to think of her as a petty person.
5. The costume designer for the movie is a big man, Edith Head, the golden statuette of eight best costume awards in her life, and an outstanding woman. Hepburn's various costumes in the film are all from her handwriting. Without her participation, we might not see the radiant and elegant Princess Anya today.
