Plot
Ann (Audrey Hepburn), a crown princess on a state visit to Rome, became frustrated with her tightly scheduled life and quietly left her country's embassy. The delayed effects of sedatives make him fall asleep on the bench, where Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), a foreign journalist for "American News Service", finds it without knowing who he is. Thinking he was drunk, Joe let him spend the night in his apartment.
The next morning, Joe was rushed late to work and gave his editor, Mr. Hennessy (Hartley Power), false details of his press conference with the princess. When Hennessy informed him that the show had been canceled and showed him a news story about his "sudden illness", he realized who exactly was in his apartment. Seeing opportunities, Joe proposes to get an exclusive interview with the princess and Hennessy agrees.
Joe rushes home and, hiding the fact that he is a reporter, offers to show his guest "Anya" around Rome. He also calls his friend photographer, Irving Radovich (Eddie Albert), to participate and secretly take pictures. However, Ann declines Joe's offer and leaves. Enjoying his freedom, he explores the outdoor market. Joe followed and 'accidentally' met him in the Spanish Stairs. This time he convinces him to spend the day with him and take him to a street cafe, where he meets Irving. Then, as he tries to drive the Vespa he's carrying for the ride, they are caught and gone away when he and Irving show their press bait.
That night, at a ball dance on the boat, the government agents were called by Ann's embassy line and tried to force her away. Ann takes part in a broken battle, where Joe gets ambushed and falls into the river and Ann jumps in to save her. After they swam and the police caught the agents, they shared a kiss as they sat shivering by the river. Later, knowing his kingdom's responsibility had to be continued, Ann said good-bye to Joe and returned to the embassy.
Meanwhile, Hennessy has suspected that the princess is not ill as claimed and tries to get Joe to admit what she knows about it. Joe, however, has decided not to write his story, although he later tells Irving that he is free to sell his photographs. They then went for a delayed press conference at the embassy, ​​surprising Princess Ann.
At the end of the interview, the princess abruptly asks to meet the reporters, shake hands and talk briefly to each one. When he reaches Joe and Irving, the latter presents him with an envelope containing the photographs he took. After the interview ended, Joe walked away alone.

Cast
Wyler first offered the role to Hollywood's favorite Cary Grant. Grant refused, believing that he was too old to play Hepburn's love interest (though he played opposite him ten years later at Charade.) Another source said Grant refused because he knew all the attention would be centered around the princess. The Peck contract gave him a solo billing star, with newcomers Hepburn registered much more clearly in the credits. In the middle of filming, Peck suggested to Wyler that he picked her up to the same billing - a move that was almost unheard of in Hollywood.
Wyler initially considered Elizabeth Taylor and Jean Simmons for this role, but both were unavailable. Wyler is very excited to find Hepburn, but he does not pick it until after the screen test. Wyler can not stay and film it himself, but tells the assistant director to ask the cameraman and healthy man to continue recording after the assistant director says "cut" so he will look relaxed after doing a dignified, quiet scene from the movie.

Adaptations
The film was remade for television in 1987 with Tom Conti and Catherine Oxenberg, who himself was a member of the European royal family. An unofficial Tamil language adaptation, titled May Madham , was released in 1994.
The film Richard Curtis Notting Hill has been likened to "the 90's version of London Romance ". There are a number of satire for it in the film, where the princess character is replaced with "Hollywood royalty" and the common man is the owner of a British bookstore.
Paramount Pictures has since then licensed three Roman Holiday Holiday adaptations into the musical:
- In 2012, the stage version of the music, following the storyline while using Cole Porter songs, is presented in Minneapolis. The adaptation of the book is done by Paul Blake ( Beautiful: The Carole King Story ). It's scheduled to run in San Francisco in the summer of 2017 before going to Broadway.
- Another version was staged in 2004 in Rome under the title Vacanze Romane using the Cole Porter score, complemented by music by Italian film composer Armando Trovajoli. This production is done annually at Teatro Sistina in Rome and tours in Italy and Spain.
- The whole version in Japanese with a very different score was produced in 1998 by Toho [Japanese Theater Company].
