Roman Holiday

New york is one of the best places to be in the summer, apart from the almost unbearable humidity! 

Every Monday at Bryant park they played a film on a massive screen. It was such a surreal expreince having a picnic watching a film in the middle of the city. Over the summer they have outdoor films playing in lots of parks all over the city. 

I went to see the film Roman Holiday, I have to admit I had never watched a black & white film before but after watching the film it will not be my last! Not only did I love the film but I also fell in love with the flawless Aubrey Hepburn! I completely understand what the big fuss over her is all about!

Aubrey Hepburn to this day is still a style icon.

The film is a 1954 romantic comedy set in Rome. The story is about Princess Anne who embarks on a highly publicized tour of Europian capitals. When she and her royal entourage arrive in Rome, she begins to rebel against her restricted, regimented schedule. One night Anne sneaks out of her room, hops into the back of a delivery truck and escapes her luxurious confinement. However, a sedative she was forced to take earlier starts to take effect, and the princess is soon fast asleep on a public bench. She is found by Joe Bradley, an American newspaper reporter stationed in Rome. He takes her back to his apartment. The next morning Joe dashes off to cover the Princess Anne press conference, unaware that she is sleeping on his couch! Once he realizes his good fortune, Joe promises his editor an exclusive interview with the princess. was so good and i continued to talk like a princess for the rest of the night!

Roman Holiday has inspired me to watch more classic films, next on my list is:

• Breakfast at Tiffany's
• How to Marry a Millionaire

• The Heiress
