Staff Pick is a monthly selection straight from one our own movie-loving staff members at The Roxy Theater. This month, we're showing Roman Holiday, a perennial classic chosen by our Development Director Tammy Bodlovic!
Overwhelmed by her suffocating schedule, touring European princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn) takes off for a night while in Rome. When a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, however, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter, Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck),who takes her back to his apartment for safety. At work the next morning, Joe finds out Ann's regal identity and bets his editor he can get exclusive interview with her, but romance soon gets in the way.
Tammy sez: "I completely adore Audrey Hepubrn and she is 'simply marvelous' in this movie as a bored and sheltered princess looking for a little adventure. Who hasn't dreamed about playing hooky form their everyday life for even just one day?"
