Audrey Hepburn’s star was born with this charming romantic comedy. Shot on location in Rome, it stars Hepburn as a princess who, weary of her royal duties, goes AWOL in Italy for a fling with American reporter Gregory Peck—who’s looking for a scoop but instead finds love. Best Actress Oscar for the 24-year-old Hepburn, whose grace and ebullient presence light up this fairy-tale romance.
