Roman Holiday making highlights

2021-11-13 08:01
1. At the beginning of the movie, the elderly gentleman who danced with Princess Anna said to her in Hindi: "I want to die on this ship."
2. Joe (Gregory Parker) pretended that his hand was bitten off by the mouth of the stone statue. One of the scenes was an improvisation by Parker. When he took his hand out of the stone, he hid it in his sleeve, which was a gag learned from Reid Skotton. This episode surprised Hepburn, so the scene was only shot once and passed.
3. After the film was finalized, Parker told the producers that Hepburn would definitely win an Oscar (although this was her first leading role), and they had better put her name in front of the actor's subtitles list. They complied, and Hepburn really won the prize.
4. Hepburn was able to win the role of Anna, and I would also like to thank a legendary audition. She performed a scene from the movie. After the director said "stop", the photographer still kept the camera working. After a few minutes of rehearsal, Hepburn immediately captured the movie.
5. When he got the script, Gregory Parker was eagerly eager to star in a comedy (he had never acted in any film drama) and actively participated in this rare opportunity. Later he said that at that time, he felt that every romantic comedy script he read seemed to have "Gary Grant's brand" on it.
6. Joe pays the taxi driver one thousand lire (there is also a one thousand lire tip, in order to persuade him to bring Anna and himself). This is approximately $17 (2005).
7. The motorcycle that Parker and Hepburn rode in the movie is called VESPA, which is translated as Vespa (also called the Wasp). After the movie was released, this motorcycle was snapped up wildly, and it soared from dozens of Nissan to 500 Nissan.
8. The hot sale of "Roman Holiday" is closely related to the hot news at that time. British princess Margaret fell in love with the divorced commoner Peter Townsend and determined to marry him. But under the strong pressure of the royal family, she eventually severed her relationship with Townsend.
9. After the film was filmed, Parker found his name on the poster, but Hepburn's name was very small and hidden in a corner before it was released. He specifically notified the producer to change the original cast "Roman Holiday" starring Gregory Parker to Audrey Hepburn's name. On March 25, 1954, the 24-year-old Hepburn won the 26th Oscar for Best Actress for his wonderful performance in "Roman Holiday." That night, Hepburn, who never thought that she would win the Academy Award, stood on the podium with excitement, but she did not forget to tell the world: "This is a gift from Parker!"
10. When Gregory Parker went to Italy to make this film, he was experiencing the recent separation and the personal affair of impending divorce with his current (and first) wife. During the filming, he fell in love with a French woman named Veronica Passani. After the divorce, he and Passani married, and they lived together until Pike passed away. 
11. The screenwriter of the film was blacklisted at the time, so he was replaced by others to receive the award. He was awarded an Oscar posthumously in 1993. In 1987, it was remade into a TV movie. 
12. After the movie was released, the title has become a name that many companies are vying for, and the Roman holiday is also used as a brand of motorcycles.

    The first Hepburn movie I watched, the pure and innocent little princess made people feel heartbroken?

    I am very happy to see it, I like that place in Rome. It happened between the heroine and the heroine. Although there is a relationship of interest, the adaptation happened slowly over time. I really want to buy a car in the play, it's too cute. One of the scenes that impressed me the most was when the male protagonist took the female protagonist's hand up the stairs, it was so joyful. I like the heroine's personality very much, she is bright and has no heart.

    Princess Ann: Oh, you can't imagine. I-I'd do just whatever I liked all day long.

  • Joe Bradley: Tell you what. Why don't we do all those things, together?

    Princess Ann: But don't you have to work?

    Joe Bradley: Work? No. Today's gonna be a holiday.

    Princess Ann: But you want to do a lot of silly things?

    Joe Bradley: [He takes her hand] ... First wish? One sidewalk cafe, comin' right up. I know just the place. Rocca's.
