Ein Herz und eine Krone

Ein netter Film mit der bezaubernden Audrey und dem charismatischen, aber steif spielenden Peck. Oder haben Sie vielleicht in seinem Gesicht die Verliebtheit gesehen? Die Chemie zwischen den beiden wird dadurch aber nicht weniger. Ein spielerisches Drehbuch mit vielen Ideen, die sorglose italienische Kultur, Witz und Abenteuer und hauptsächlich ein schöner Gedanke, der aus der Prämisse hervorgeht, auf welcher der romantische Plot basiert.

A wonderful love story with a lovely Audrey Hepburn and a charming Gregory Peck. The final scene, the meeting of the princess with the press corps, brought tears to my eyes. I had no idea I was so romantic... (21.07.2002)

A pleasant and easygoing film from the most beautiful city I have ever been to and which, like Princess Anna, I will never forget. (25.02.2009)

The purest story that touches the heart. Audrey Hepburn's angel and Gregory Peck's charisma play wonderfully in their time in an amazingly witty comedy with believable romance. And just when I started thinking that Wyler was overdoing it a bit, the ending came with a press conference and a climax full of deep gazes, the sweetest smile, and a stylish departure...

Audrey was sweet as always, plus she and Gregory lit up the screen. The beginning was funny, as time went on the joke faded and you could slowly feel what was coming. And then a bittersweet ending comes, what else? Say goodbye and face your responsibilities. A black and white romantic comedy that I can easily recommend to everyone. It's not stupid like the ones that are currently being made in Hollywood. A better 4 stars. (16.01.2011)

I was really looking forward to Roman Holiday, but it doesn't compare to what I actually got! I could say without hesitation that this is the best romantic film of all time, and that would still be an understatement. A gorgeous Audrey Hepburn (does she also reminds you of Natalie Portman?), a handsome Gregory Peck and magical Rome full of beautiful ancient monuments. An unforgettable combination that runs like clockwork. 100% (19.08.2012)

Ich kann wirklich nicht verstehen, worin der Zauber dieses Werkes bestehen soll. Mir scheint, dass es sich an die Seite der Grotesken von Laurel und Hardy gesellt, und in manchen Momenten haben ich mich fürchterlich gelangweilt. Und die Information, dass dieser Film unter den 200 besten direkt auf Platz 65 steht, hat mir ehrlich gesagt den Atem geraubt. Nichts gegen die Legenden Peck und Hepburn, doch dieses Aufgetakelte hat mich überhaupt nicht angesprochen. Doch der Film diente als Anleitung, welche Orte man in Rom besuchen sollte. (07.10.2010)

A well-made romantic comedy from a time when gallons of pathos didn't have to compensate for the writers' incompetence because it wasn't necessary. America's obsession with the fact that the cheeky island has what America lacks is manifested by the constant making of films about various princesses and other noblemen, but when it comes to Roman Holiday, I don’t mind in the least. I guess it's because it's a real film with real actors and real performances, whereas most other similar American films are trash. (26.12.2017)

Watching this couple is simply a joy. Peck and Hepburn understand each other perfectly and there is necessary chemistry between them. You will simply fall in love with them, also because they are in Rome and this is actually a fairy tale about a princess and a prince who unfortunately is not of noble descent. A wonderful example of how Hollywood knew how to make romances that are beautiful, emotional and story-wise interesting. I'm just afraid that the past tense is appropriate. (24.11.2014)
