ROMAN HOLIDAY: USA 1953, 35mm, Black & White, 118 minutesSHOWTIMES: 7:00p - THURSDAY 7/12 PART OF THE SUMMER CLASSIC MOVIE SERIES Audrey Hepburn became a star with this film, in which she plays a modern-day princess weary of protocol and anxious to have some fun before she is mummified by "affairs of state." On a diplomatic visit to Rome, she escapes her royal retainers and scampers incognito through the Eternal City. She happens to meet an American journalist (Gregory Peck), who, recognizing a hot news story, pretends that he doesn't recognize her and offers to give her a guided tour of Rome. Naturally, he hopes to get an exclusive interview, while his photographer pal Irving (Eddie Albert) attempts to sneak a photo. And just as naturally, Joe falls in love with her. Filmed on location in Rome, ROMAN HOLIDAY was nominated for ten Academy Awards, garnering an Oscar for the 24-year-old Hepburn, while another Oscar went to the screenplay, credited to Ian McLellan Hunter and John Dighton but actually co-written by the blacklisted Dalton Trumbo. Stylishly directed by William Wyler, this romantic comedy ranks as one of the most enjoyable films of all time. Advance Ticket 11.28 Support Ciné your community theatre, a (501(c)3 non-profit
