Gregory Peck played a prank when filming the mouth of truth by pretending that his hand was trapped in there. So the reaction from Audrey Hepburn was real and of course, they kept it in the movie.
CHARADE
with Audrey Hepburn and charming Cary Grant and Walter Matthau is Really good and charming and clever!!!!
It's been called The Greatest Hitchcock Movie That Hitchcock Didn't Make, and for good reason.
And it’s Public Domain 👍🏻🙂
Charade was remade as The Troubke With Charlie. Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Neeton starred in the Peck/Hepburn roles
I know you're going to love this one! Two of the most decent people to come out of the classic Hollywood era, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck....
the late opera soprano singer, patricia janeckova, would have been a brilliant princess if there had been a remake of 'roman holiday' but sadly patricia died last october from breast cancer aged 25!!!
As other commenters mention, the Mouth of Truth shows the real life chemistry between Peck and Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn just oozed adorableness and charm. Gregory Peck has that presence of character and decency that you don't see today, and the way he conveys his uneasiness with his deception, even before he's fallen for the princess, is so subtle and real.
Eddie Albert needs to be remembered as a really fine actor, and a better man and war hero, who saved lives in WW2 combat. At the battle of Tarawa in the South Pacific, Albert continously returned with his Higgins boat to save upwards of 50 men, who were stranded off the beach at Tarawa due to tides. He did this under intense Japanese machine gun and sniper fire. Eddie Albert was distraught when he returned to aid another group of men, who had been stranded and slaughtered. RIP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The line she delivers to her advisors at the end sums it all up for me 'If I were not completely aware of my duty to my family and my country, I would not have returned tonight. Or indeed ever again.' I am my own person now and you can no longer move me around like a puppet. Her answer about Rome is not the politically correct answer to the question, but it is what's in her heart. Hepburn is just magical in this film. Gregory Peck insisted that her name appear with his above the title because he knew she was someone special.
I'm thrilled that you appreciated the ending. The princess grows so much in the course of her adventurous romance- her maturity and new found gravitas would have been undermined with a stock, syrupy "happy ending".
The scene at the press conference with AH's turning and showing her amazing smile, and then as she connects with GP, with their eyes alone, that is one of my favorite scenes in all cinema. Beautiful and pure romance!!!!
She did a lot of growing up in just 24 hours. The freedom she enjoyed in those hours just brought to the fore the real person she is.
If you like Greg Peck - you have to see "To Kill a Mockingbird" - also starts a very young Robert Duvall
Audrey Hepburns first movie and she won an Oscar for it!!!
Roman Holiday!!
Such a beautiful movie!!
Audrey is wonderful. Love her This isn't her first movie, she had bit parts in a few British movies including 1951's Lavender Hill Mob with Alec Guiness. But this is her first Anerican movie and first starring role. And she hit it out of the ballpark!
Это лучший фильм 20 века! 👍👍👍
What a beautiful and lovely film. Thanks a Lot.
i always thought that the brilliant opera singer/actress patricia janeckova, would make a brilliant princess, if a remake of 'roman holiday' was made! like audrey hepburn, she was european-although slovakian, she was born in germany! she could sing in several languages including english & she had performed in several musicals! sadly, patricia died last october from breast cancer at the age of 25!! much of her work can be seen on you tube! she found fame at the age of 12, winning 'talentmania' in her home country, singing, 'once upon a time in the west' from the 1969 film starring henry fonda & charles bronson!
patricia was thought by many to be the greatest soprano ever & was destined for a big future in both singing & acting!!!
The cleaning lady is telling her " out immediately!" And then "If I was your mother...!"
Now that you've been introduced to Gregory Peck you should really check out the role he was born to play: Atticus Finch in the movie To Kill A Mockingbird. He won the Academy Award for that role, but it's also one of the best movie adaptations of a novel (which won the Pulitzer Prize). Something that should be of particular interest to a novelist like yourself.
If forced to choose just one film…it is my all-time favorite. plus it is also Robert Duvall’s first film 🙂
I always liked that the Princess found her nerve to stand up to her handlers after being on her own for a day. She was a lot stronger.
The power she now has when they try to accompany her to the press, she can just stop right in her tracks and they know not to mess with her 😊
That last, long, silent look that Gregory and Audrey give each other at the end … that kind of subtlety, giving actors the freedom to “show don’t tell,” is one of the requirements for a movie to be classified as great. You can tell La La Land’s final moment was inspired by this, thankfully proving this is not a lost art, and it must never be.
I’ve been watching this movie for almost 50 years and the ending scene, without fail, causes my eyes to water…❤
The last shot of him leaving gets me every time
You've not seen Gregory Peck before! Oh my gosh. You must watch some of his movies. His most famous is of course "To Kill a Mockingbird" (which you must see) and I would also recommend my favorite western "The Big Country."
Yes, The Big Country is a must watch! Also, Yellow Sky is a pretty good early post-war western with Richard Widmark as the main villain.
The Big Country is highly underrated. It's incredible. Peck is amazing, but so are Burl Ives (his monologue when he bursts into the party; incredible) and Charles Bickford -- and Charlton Heston in a rare character role. A truly great film. Glad to see it get some love here.
@@markdodson6453 "Charlton Heston in a rare character role". Maybe not so rare as people think - for instance one should see him as Cardinal Richelieu in "The Three Musketeers" (1973) or as the titular character in the Western "Will Penny (1967). Both very good movies, by the way.
I love The Big Country! It's a fantastic movie with a stellar cast.
Another great Audrey Hepburn movie you should see is: My Fair Lady.
Other Audrey Hepburn movies to put on your watch list are:
1954 Sabrina
1961 Breakfast at Tiffany's
1963 Charade
1966 Two For The Road
She didn't make very many films but all of them are wonderful. Thanks Madison 👍🤩
Two For The Road is fantastic!!!
Those are her best films, but I would add How to Steal a Million and Funny Face! Maybe even Love in the Afternoon.
Yes!! Sabrina next, please!
Audrey Hepburn is amazing in My Fair Lady (1964) - one of my very favorite musicals.
One shouldn't forget "Robin and Marian" (1976) starring with Sean Connery.
Hi Madison another great classic Gregory Peck movie is To Kill A Mockingbird (1962). Also stars Robert Duvall. Enjoy.
One of Gregory Peck's best movies is "To kill a Mockingbird". You may have read the book in High School.
In the older movies, it is not unusual for duty and doing the “right thing” to trump our 21st century ideas of romance. Think Casablanca. Such a beautiful ending that inspires so much more than if they were to wind up together. Great react and commentary…keep’em coming!!
Perfect film and the brilliant B&W cinematography adds so much more to it: the element of fantasy and deception is enhanced . Thank goodness they shot it in B&W.
As I recall, they originally wanted to shoot it in color because of all the wonderful scenery ut since they were already spending a lot of money to film on location , they had to make a choice to either film on location in B&W or do it in a studio in color so they decided to do black and white , which was cheaper and still shoot on location.
if patricia janeckova was alive today, she would have been a perfect choice to play the princess in 'roman holiday' but sadly, opera soprano,/actress, patricia, died from breast cancer last october, aged 25! like audrey hepburn, german born slovakian, pj was european too! may i recommend that you watch her 2016 new year concert, singing, 'meine lippen, 'mein herr marquis' & 'the doll song'! also catch her more recently singing, 'think of me' & 'rusalka'!!!
When I went to Italy in 2019, the very first thing I did upon leaving my hotel was to seek out the house where Keats died. It's right at the foot of the Spanish Steps. The house was closed till later in the day. I had my very first Roman meal in a restaurant parallel to the house (cacio e pepe), and visited the house right after. It was a fabulous start for a fabulous two weeks (Keats is my favorite Romantic poet).
This is the youngest I've seen Eddy Albert R.I.P.✌️❤️🙏🙏
I give him my lifetime achievement as a supporting actor. THIS is how it's done.
(Agnes Moorehead in JOHNNY BELINDA gets a nod, too, where she transitions from a caringless farm-wife into her mama-bear for her young charge, a damaged young girl who's never known a more powerful protector.)
That is a surprising ending for the 1950s, but so satisfying because it feels real.
Audrey's first movie in America...a TRUE princess indeed. IMO, a most BEAUTIFUL and talented woman throughout her life! With Mr. Peck, well what can you say? So many great pictures, one to watch is "To Kill a Mockingbird"...
Greg Peck - WW2 flick. ' 12 O'clock High ' features real battle film and a different ' Slant' than usual.
Some people say the modern rom-com formula started with Annie Hall (in the 70s). Thats why i love these old films. There is less of a formula.
Your sweet reaction is a stirring reminder of how I felt my first viewing. Now there was a previous film back in 1934 with a similar ( yet turbulent ) storyline and an ending that…….oh no, I almost gave it away. It’s call “It Happened One Night” with Clark Gable & Claudette Colbert. You’ll love it.
The scene, where the house cleaner is outraged to find a young woman in Joe's bachelor apartment, is reminiscent of a scene in Rear Window. In Rear Window, Jimmy Stewart's detective friend expresses ambivalence when he suspects Grace Kelly plans an overnight visit to the bachelor apartment. In Roman Holiday the disapproval is much stronger due to Italy's Catholic mores of that era.
I enjoyed the reaction, Madison. Such a beautiful movie. A few recommendations for you My Man Godfrey, The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Notorious, and Double Indemnity. A good bit of variety, and all great movies.
All great and worthy.
Irving is played by a family favorite, Eddie Albert, who we knew best as Oliver Wendell Douglas in the wacky tv series "Green Acres". He was also a musical theater actor and a lovely supporting player.
Thank you SO much for reacting to this. Nothing better than having one of your favorite reactors do one of your favorite movies. Seeing different people react to Casablanca and this film were what got me into movie reactions in the first place. It wasn't the ending we wanted, but it was the right one -- and a pretty extraordinary one for the time. The goodbye in the car, and the final one at the end, never fail to get me even after all these years of watching it. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
And my favorite line? Walking into Joe's apartment: "Is this the elevator?"
Please consider, It happened one night , and, my man Godfrey.
Among Gregory Peck's westerns, my favorite has always been "The Gunfighter" (1950). You might like it M. - A ruthlessly heartbreaking tale of a famous gunslinger Jimmy Ringo, the fastest gun in the West, who tries to leave his notorious reputation behind him. Although the film was not a great success when it came out, it has become a classic. Gregory Peck named "The Gunfighter" as his favorite film from his filmography.
I thoroughly enjoyed multiple viewings of your reaction to this film. It's great that you grasped the last scene in all it's implications. Lots of contemporary viewers can't handle the fact that their relationship wasn't possible in that particular time and place. She could not abandon her status as royalty because of both family and country. He knew he couldn't demand it. The last scene shows the sadness but also his dignity, knowing that he's experienced a taste of something that he can't have, and he must go on. William Wyler was a genius filmmaker!
One of my absolute favorite movies! Fun fact: this was Audrey Hepburn’s first leading role in a Hollywood film, hence the “introducing Audrey Hepburn” credit, and her name was initially going to be in a much smaller font than established leading man Gregory Peck’s name but Peck insisted that her name be as big as his name. Hepburn went on to win the Best Actress Oscar for her performance and became one of the most in-demand and iconic Hollywood actresses of all-time.
He should say, the readers of Horses and Hounds will be happy to see you doing well.
This movie was supposedly Princess Diana's favorite move. She especially liked the line that Eddie Albert says when pleading to have his pics of the princess printed: "But It's always open season on princesses!"
Madison, you need to see Gregory Peck in one of the very greatest Westerns, "The Big Country " and also as Captain Ahab in the great 1956 version of "Moby Dick. "
In addition to Audrey Hepburn's Best Actress Oscar, Edith Head won the Oscar for Best Costume Design, and Dalton Trumbo won for Best Story. The photographer friend with the the beard is played by the famous Eddie Albert...who later in the 1960's became more famous as Oliver Wendall Douglas on the comedy Tv show Green Acres. Afterwards he got all kinds of movie parts. He was very versatile, could play comedy or villains.
Dalton Trumbo was one of the many people in Hollywood who were blacklisted during the era of McCarthyism; for many decades even after McCarthy’s loss of power, he wasn’t credited for the screenplays he wrote, including Roman Holiday. His name was finally included in the opening credits on the DVD release (50 years after the movie was first released) and in subsequent showings on TCM.
I was pleased to see your fantastic reaction to this amazing film! In thinking about other great films, where there's yearning for a love that cannot be, I came up with several:
Heaven Knows Mr. Alison - Robert Mitchum, a WW2 marine stranded on a South Pacific island, his love interest is Deborah Kerr, a woman he cannot ultimately be with;
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney, are prevented from fulfilling their love, in this life;
And Casablanca which you have already reacted to......
Every time I see this lovely movie, I can't help but look at the clock on the tower in the scene where Joe Bradley "accidentally" meets the Princess eating ice cream on the stairs. The time on the clock behind them jumps strangely in different scenes, depending on when the scene was shot. It doesn't spoil the mood by any means, but I just can't take my eyes off it.
So, if you've never seen Peck before, you've never seen 'To Kill a Mockingbird' either.
A must see.
It's already been mentioned but as much as you like westerns and movies with a great sound track, The Big Country is a must watch for you. Starring Greg Peck, Charlton Heston ,Jean Simmons and Burl Ives .AND directed by this same director William Wyler. Utterly fantastic!!!
It is an unusual ending.
Hepburn was supposed to be billed below the title, but Peck insisted she should be before it. He said she would win the Oscar and he'd look a fool if he kept top billing to himself. And she did.
I believe she got Academy award in first film. A natural.
Audrey's debut film, and she received the Oscar for it.
Sabrina is another great romantic Audrey movie, co-starring Humphrey Bogart.
Audrey Hepburn is my first celeb crush. As a young boy I was home sick and My Fair Lady came on I was too sick and tired to get up and change the channel, so I went ahead and watched it. I fell in love that day and have loved her ever since.
I worked as a photographer for dpa - the main german wire service - and learned to know Kurt Klinger ,who appeared in the end of the movie, once. The press people at the end have been real members of the international press corps who worked in Rome that time.
Great selection, MKT.♥So easy to fall in love with Audrey Hepburn. One of the brightest, most beautiful stars of the silver screen. My favorite Audrey Hepburn quotes:
"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."
"For me, the only things of interest are those linked to the heart."
“Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I’m Possible.”
I love this movie. Audrey Hepburn was so cute in this that I would have given her the Academy Award for Best Actress on that alone. Since I saw To Kill a Mockingbird, Gregory Peck has always been one of my favorite actors. I felt so sorry for him at the end of this.
There are three stars in this film: Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck and the city of Rome.
Ooh, you reacted to "Wait Until Dark." I've never seen a reaction to that (aside from my grandmother's with whom I watched it.)
It's so bittersweet, so unique.
Gregory Peck always does the right thing in the end.
She' was such a great actress. That smile with the tear. In the last scene
Another splendid reaction, Madison. The bittersweet ending is perfect. Countless thousands of women have had their own personal 'Audrey moment' with an ice cream on the Spanish Steps, just above the Trevi Fountain which is also featured. Though not technically her debut, this was her breakthrough film and she never looked lovelier, which is saying something. Gregory Peck is the quintessential 'strong silent' romantic lead and is good in anything. My late Mum used to lust after him but let's not go there.
Another story of a princess that you might enjoy is _The Swan_ with Grace Kelly, Louis Jourdan, and Alec Guinness. It's also very beautiful.
The must see movie for Gregory Peck is "To Kill a Mockingbird" and for Audrey Hepburn is "My Fair Lady."
One of my fav films with two of my fav actors.
I just watched this yesterday on TCM, That scene where he walks away....You need to see The Ghost And Mrs. Muir.
The things you said about Audrey Hepburn apply to you as a reviewer. You are classy, poised and gracious. I really enjoy your reviews.
🙏🏻❤️
Audrey Hepburn has one of the prettiest smiles at the end of this picture, and you seem to match it with your own throughout this film as well!!!
Audrey Hepburn is/was the MOST amazing, beautiful, and kind actress TO EVER GRACE THE SCREEN. IMO she has no equal and never will. Check out her appearance at the Cecil B. Demille Awards. The epitome of grace...
Gregory Peck insisted that Audrey Hepburn--in this, her first film, "Roman Holiday"--be given equal billing. She would win the Academy Award for her role in this film.
As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, your next Audrey Hepburn movie should be "Charade".
React to Audrey Hepburn in The Nun's Story from 1959.
Excellent reaction. Agree about the silent communication between the two main characters at the end. As others have mentioned, I hope Madison watches The Big Country. Just from watching this reaction, I think she will enjoy this film, either as a reaction or on her own.
Gregory Peck - Western “The Big Country” or “The Gun Fighter”
Drama- “To Kill A Mockingbird “ or “Gentelman’s Agreement “
Melodrama- “The Man in The Gray Flannel Suit”
War Movie- “The Guns of Navarone”
Suspense- “The Paradine Case” or “Spellbound”(directed by Hitchcock) or the original “Cape Fear”
Horror “The Omen”
+1 Big Country
Great reaction. I saw this movie when it premiered and immediately feel in love with Audrey Hepburn. As you noticed, this was Miss Hepburn's first motion picture of which She won an Academy Award. Not only was She a great actor but also a great humanitarian. I would like to suggest "Sabrina", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Funny Face", and "My Fair Lady". Please react to more Audrey Hepburn. I've read your book and liked it. Thank you. 😍❤
I love this film, it's a classic. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this so much, Madison, like you I'm also single, but I'm happy to stay that way until I find someone who shares the same values as I do.
Fun fact: when Gregory Peck placed his hand inside the Mouth of Truth he pretended that his hand was actually caught and bitten off! The reaction from Audrey Hepburn is real. She panicked big time!
"Gentleman's Agreement " best picture 1947 ... a top notch Gregory Peck film.
" To Kill a Mockingbird " 1962
"Cape Fear" 1962 and the remake of it 1991.... are a few of the many wonderful films he's in.
For more Audry Hepburn... watch, "Sabrina"... with Humphrey Bogart 1954 and my favorite ... 1966 " How to Steal a Million" with the very dreamy Peter O'Toole. !
...of course it's always a pleasure to see your reactions. ❤
Such a great reaction! I loved that you didnt hate the ending! Its one of my all time favorites. Next please do Sabrina please...
What do you get when you mix Gregory Peck, Ingrid Bergman with Alfred Hitchcock (and a little Salvador Dali)? 'Spellbound'.
A classic! Thank you Madison for reacting to this!
I could repeat or echo so many of your other commenters. But, suffice it to say, you have watched two true movie stars. Gregory Peck's movie choices say quite a bit about who he was as a person. 12 O'clock High, Gentleman's Agreement should be listed with To Kill a Mockingbird.
Gregory Peck western, The Big Country 1958
Another great Greg Peck western is The Gunfighter (1950)
Love this film. If you want a short list of Audrey's best, at the top is Breakfast at Tiffany's - Sabrina - Funny Face - Two for the Road - Paris when it Sizzles - My Fair Lady - Charade... the list goes on and on. And you already saw two great ones too. Can't wait for you to watch Tiffany's!
There's a notorious movie with Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones called "Duel In the Sun" which you may or may not like. There's another movie featuring a much older Gregory Peck called "Mackenna's Gold". There's one movie with Gregory Peck that you MUST watch but it's not a western - "The Guns of Navarone".
Great Choice Madison! You've made my Friday! Super Thanks!
😳 she makes me want to Scream! so beautiful it’s painful. And Gregory is more mischievous than usual … what a charmer.
Great review.
Yes,subtle ending.
given your predilection for westerns, I think you would really enjoy a double-bill western extravaganza of Gregory Peck in 'Mackenna's Gold' and 'The Stalking Moon'. Two really excellent dusters.
This is such a sentimental time capsule. For another Princess film, react to the Hitchcock thriller TO CATCH A THIEF (1955) on the French Riviera with Grace Kelly a year before she becomes Princess Grace of Monaco, alongside Cary Grant. Audrey Hepburn was such a precious gem, you should like her alongside Peter O'Toole in HOW TO STEAL A MILLION (1966), a rom/com shot entirely in Paris.
You should watch The Big Country with Gregory Peck and Jean Simmons. I think you would really like it.
Great reaction! My movie suggestions are *Moby Dick* (1956) or *Sabrina* (1954) with GP or AH, respectively, but there are many others as well to choose from. Thanks!
34.29 But combed his hair first -- Italians always like to look their best. They're the nicest people too! :0)
The 'looks' and the 'hugs' from both Audrey and Greg felt so real that I thought they did both fell in love while filming this film.
2 of my favourite actors of that time period if not ever. Also Eddie Albert.. one my favourite 'character' actors too.. I've seen him in westerns/war films and romcoms.. Hehe..
Another great Gregory Peck love story is 1950s The Gunfighter
One of my favorites!
Want to see Gregory Peck in a western, Madison? I recommend The Big Country. Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston are also in it.
Love this movie! Thank you, Madison for sharing this one. Very Sweet. 😊 Another Gregory Peck movie I think you would enjoy is The Big Country. Good stuff.
I think this movie has the strongest expression of love between two people of any movie. It's unfortunate they didn't end up together in the end, but they both have their memory of this one day.
Gregory Peck The Gunfighter. As Jimmy Ringo, aging gunfighter. Minimal sets just great acting
Gregory Peck is amazing in "To Kill a Mockingbird." And he is also excellent in Hitchcock's "Spellbound," with Ingrid Bergman. He is also in Westerns, including "The Gunfighter."
You should check out To kill a mockingbird,Gregory peck in his finest role as a lawyer named Addicus finch
This was filmed just six years after WWII. Fortunately, Rome was mostly spared from the war's destruction. The final scene is one of the best made - the final turn and barely perceptible nod is amazing. Great love stories don't always have the lovers walking into the sunset together.
Le film Vacances romaines a été tourné en 1953, ce qui fait 8 ans après la guerre et non 6.
@@francoisevassy6614 I'm sorry but my French is truly bad, but I'm guessing that you are saying that it was 8 years after WWII. Yes - it was released in 1953, but filming began in 1951 and that is why I said 6 years. I hope That explains my comment. Thanks!
@@gitchegumee
Sorry, I never heard about this movie being filmed in 1951 … where did you get this information ?
I hope you have seen The Third Man which is located in the ruins of Vienna, Austria. If you haven’t, do, because it’s one of the greatest movies ever.
Friendly from France 🇫🇷
I especially love your comments on this wonderful movie, the best romantic movie of the 1950s. You express so well everything I feel about it. It wasn’t always so. As a teen I liked it, but didn’t feel so strongly about it. It took some maturity to appreciate the bittersweet ending. “Casablanca,” of course, has a similar ending of self-sacrifice.
Eddie Albert, Peck’s side-kick, deserves a shout out for his splendid comedic performance, which won him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
I’m surprised that you are unfamiliar with Gregory Peck, since he acted in so many great westerns, such as The Gunfighter (1950) and “The Big Country” (1958), and won an Oscar for his performance in the classic film “To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962).
This is the only movie ( that I know of ) in existence, that contains both my favorite actor - the amazing Gregory Peck, and my favorite actress - Audrey of course, which makes this a super special movie for me ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the reaction and have a great Valentine's day !🙂
That was a spectacularly great reaction. Highly influenced by the incredible groundbreaking Italian films that were going on at the time, this movie is mindblowing to me because it is completely a Hollywood movie on its own terms....and at the same time, completely Italian neo-realist, completely faithful to what they were trying to do. The romance and the comedy and the glamour is all Hollywood; the cinematography and the bittersweet ending is all Italian. Even their comedies end in tears. Gregory Peck: Obviously To Kill A Mockingbird. That's a must-see, for ten thousand reasons (and a must-read!). Also the original Cape Fear! And the remake! He is the definition of goodness....and yet could play deranged bad guy amazing: check out him as Captain Ahab in "Moby Dick", holy smokes, he is scary as hell. Ditto "Duel In The Sun". He's also the dad in "The Omen" the 70s horror movie, not my fave but I see it reacted to alot. But don't miss "To Kill A Mockingbird". Or "Cape Fear" (both versions! The cast of the original all reappear in the remake!). Or "Moby Dick". Thanks, Madison!
