"This is very unusual. I've never been alone with a man before - even with my dress on." - Princess Ann

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.
