Roman Holiday (1953)

Nominee

I shouldn't like this movie...I mean what is this besides a very classy chick flick...however I do like it because of one word in that statement: CLASSY.

I mean look at this cast we have: AUDREY HEPBURN and GREGORY PECK...you almost can't get classier or more sophisticated than that.

Plot: Down to earth newspaper man meets a Princess for a day? IT SOUNDS REALLY BAD BUT ITS ACTUALLY WELL DONE!!!!

Now look at the Setting: ROME...we have the grandeur of the Romans, the Art of the Renaissance and the pace of a city of love. I mean this may not be Paris, but is this really any less romantic?

The script is flirty and funny. The music flowing and Romantic. The direction is straightforward but elegant. The side kick character is funny and abused.

Overall: A well done enjoyable chick flick. Should it be nominated? Well not really...but there is something to be said for a well done simple love story.
