| Audrey Hepburn won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal as Princess Anne. She was sweet and cute, and far from the sophisticate that she is in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. You know that I adore Gregory Peck’s performances and he does not disappoint here as the nearly unemployed, Joe Bradley, U.S. correspondent who cannot seem to get a good story. When Joe stumbles across the princess, he finally sees an opportunity to make some much-needed money. For one wonderful day, the Princess pretends that she is not royalty, the reporter pretends to not know that she is royalty, and with Rome as their backdrop, they form a special bond. With the help of his photographer pal, Irving (Eddie), Princess Anne is captured doing everything from getting her first haircut to putting her hand in the famous Mouth of Truth. But, alas the princess must return to her throne and leave behind the first real friends and first remnants of making her own decisions behind. Meanwhile, Joe has to decide whether to use the pictures to catapult his nearly defunct career or protect the one with whom he fell in love in just one day.
