Roman Holiday (1953)
5/10
after 50 years..quite boring
18 June 2006
saw that film in 1953..loved it tremendously and was infatuated by Audrey Hepburn went to work in Rome in 1954 because of that movie...now in 2006 saw the movie again and saw so many flaw..vert slow dialogue..childish behaviour and minimal acting..what's left Audrey Hepburn only ..gregory peck stodgy and Eddie Albert specially is obnoxious and aggravating...what annoyes me the most were the Italian actors playing such sterotype of what American see the italians...quite dreadful....Williamm Wyler such a great director does not come off well in this in 2006..at the time it was a travelogue for Italy..specially after the war years film like roman holiday and three coins in the fountain showed America what Italy was.....so far for me the film is a total miss ib 2006,,, and will never watch it again..should have reserved my first opinion and stayed with that...please let me know if anybody thinks like i do ...michel from MONTREAL
