In with the old

Yesterday I watched Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn. The movie was dated 1953, really cute movie, somehow it's comparable to Princess Diaries. The movie was light and funny. It was more of a "Finding yourself" story rather than a romantic one.

Anne is a princess who went on a European Tour, during her visit to Rome she begins to rebel against her restricted, regimented schedule. One night Anne sneaks out of her room, hops into the back of a delivery truck and escapes her luxurious confinement. However, her royal doctor injected her some sedatives to calm her which took effect when she's already out in the streets of Rome. She met Joe Bradley, a reporter when she was sleeping at the sidewalk. Then the next day, Princess Anne pretended to be a Anya, student who ran away from school for a day trying to do whatever she wants, Joe Bradley on the other hand, pretended to be somebody else just to score Princess Anne a very exclusive interview. Fr the whole day they went about town, Anne had a haircut, almost got arrested, went to a party, fell in the ocean and then they fell in love. Joe didn't publish "Princess Anne's GONE WILD story" and Princess Anne returned to the palace at midnight not really knowing the real Joe.

During the last night of Princess Anne's stay at Rome, there was a Press Conference held at the Colosseum , then Princess Anne saw Joe Bradley and Irving the Photographer. Someone from the press asked , "of all the countries you visited, what's your favorite?" Princess Anne said, Rome.Irving, Joe Bradley and Anya/Princess Anne on a Vespa.
