In celebration of 80 years of Audrey, introducing all new re-mastered and re-packaged editions. Audrey Hepburn's Oscar-winning performance in her first starring role. Roman Holiday was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, and Audrey Hepburn captured an Oscar for her portrayal of a modern-day princess rebelling against her royal obligations who explores Rome on her own. She meets Gregory Peck, an American newspaperman who, seeking an exclusive story, pretends ignorance of her true identity. But his plan falters as they fall in love. Eddie Albert contributes to the fun as Peck's carefree cameraman pal. Stylishy directed by William Wyler, this romantic comedy ranks as one of the most enjoyable films of all times.
