"Roman Holiday" was just a pleasure to watch. Gregory Peck was wonderful as he started falling for the always amazing, always stunning Audrey Hepburn. Filled with romance and comedy, this lives up to its name as one of the most enjoyable... Full review

The film also has enough adventure and excitement to satisfy....or that Wyler cast her opposite dependable, protective Gregory Peck.....the faintly bittersweet note of the ending is made deliciously palatable by its artistic rightness..... ... Full Review

While not as impressive, the monaural audio of Roman Holiday seemed perfectly acceptable for a 55-year-old effort.
An enduring romantic comedy, Roman Holiday hold up well after five and a half decades.
Yes - it drops a documentary about the movie.

Peck, who is charismatic and likeable in this film, is no slouch either.
What's more, the film manages to keep its integrity throughout what seems like an inevitably trite and hackneyed plot, and toward the end the story turns to a legitimate examination of following one's heart versus fulfilling one's duty.

Roman Holiday is a whimsical film that still warms the heart today.
It shows the magnificent Audrey Hepburn in her best light and we see why Peck insisted that she get equal billing.
