Roman Holiday

William Wyler's romantic comedy Roman Holiday returns to the big screen once again, thanks to the Classics in the Loop film series. Audrey Hepburn stars as Princess Ann, who escapes her royal minders to have some fun in the Eternal City. American reporter Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck) finds her sleeping on a bench and allows her to spend the night in the safety of his apartment (calm down, it was 1953, so nothing happened). The next morning he figures out who she is, and intentionally bumps into her out in the city with a photographer trailing him. Together Joe and an incognito Ann enjoy everything Rome has to offer, and fall in love. But princesses aren't permitted to end up with reporters, and Joe knows it. Theirs is a whirlwind romance that sparkles with Golden Age of Hollywood brilliance. Roman Holiday is shown at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Landmark Tivoli Theatre (6350 Delmar Boulevard; www.landmarktheatres.com). Tickets are $7 to $9.
