Roman holiday is a movie producted in 1953.It's an old but classical movie.And when people comment on this movie here, people all failed to mention another historic event just happpend before that movie in 1950s. Princess Anne of the British Royal family fell in love with a common man(who was divorced-- in 1950s, divorces was like a dirty record in your clife,it will damage your public image and credibility). It was also not acceptable at that to see a marriage between a common man and a lady with blue blood. IN constrast to King Edward who gave up royal position for her beloved one, she finally gave up this relationship under the tremendous pressure.
The cruel thing was that all news media published her give-in in headlines and it flashed on the street too. It was a sensational event in Uk and US.
Roman holiday almost replicated that story with unbelievably similar details. That's why it was so popular and so touching for many people in Europe and US.
this movie launched Audrey, an unknown and obscure swiss lady into stardom over night. She got Oscar that year and started her legend
