				Why watch this? 
				Peck and Hepburn have clear chemistry together in this classic 
				golden age romance. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Bored with her royal obligations, a European princess slips away 
				from her chaperones in Rome to experience life as a commoner. 
				She falls asleep on a park bench and is discovered by an 
				American reporter, Joe Bradley, who takes her back to his 
				apartment, unaware of her true identity. When he discovers who 
				she is, Joe sees an opportunity for an exclusive story and 
				embarks on a day of adventure with the princess, pretending not 
				to know who she is. Dad's Preview: 
				Ms. Hepburn, as a tomboyish, entrapped princess, is wonderful. 
				It's so liberating when she escapes into the nightlife of Rome. This sweet romantic film, 
				directed by the incredible William Wyler (The 
				Best Years of Our Lives (1946), 
				Ben-Hur 
				(1959)) may be one of the best early Rom-Coms films made. 
				 William Wyler; 
				Paramount Pictures
