the fifties contained the best films

I finally saw Roman Holiday [Audrey Hepburn's first film] last night. In it, she plays a princess tired of being a princess and doing princess things. After escaping the clutches of her royal pages, she runs loose in the city of Rome; simply doing what she wants to do [like cutting her hair, eating gelato ice cream, dancing with men younger than 60 and smoking cigarettes.] Gregory Peck plays the -inevitable- man she runs into, and falls for.

I liked it. It was an adorable little movie starring an equally adorable little actress.
