A young princess, wanting to experience a day without any of her royal responsibilities, finds herself in the middle of Rome after running away. As she spends time on the town with journalist Joe Bradley, the two find themselves in love when she realizes she must return to her royal responsibilities even though she must leave him behind.
Overall I enjoyed this movie. I'll admit, it wasn't as romantic as I'd expected. I guess I expected a cuter story, although the story wasn't bad. I liked that it all took place within the span of 3 days and it didn't feel rushed. I enjoyed watching the relationship between Joe and Ann develop. The ending wasn't my favorite. I understand that she has responsibilities and he has his job to do, but part of me was really hoping for a happier ending. It reminded me too much of the ending of La La Land as that movie didn't end very happily (or at least the way I wanted it to) either. However I think that both Hepburn and Peck did a great job in this movie. While the movie was completely what I'd expected, I would recommend it and I really liked it.

AuthorHello fellow film lovers! Just a little bit about me: I love movies from the Old Hollywood era, especially musicals. In general, my movie taste is a bit all over the place. I don't really stick to one genre, as I just watch whatever looks interesting! I look forward to broadening my horizons in terms of film and reviewing them to the best of my ability in an honest way. Reading another passion of mine, and I'm frequently told I have an old soul, so expect to see a lot of older films being reviewed. I hope you can find what you need here! Archives
