This is a 1953 black and white film that was nominated for ten Academy Awards. Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn starred in the light and fun show. The latter captured an Oscar for portraying a modern day errant Princess.
There have been lots of other beautiful movie stars since Hepburn. Yet there is a refreshing innocence about her that I seldom see on silver screen these days. My husband commented on her impossibly tiny waist accentuated by the blue and white outfit she ran away in. I suppose she was really slender, as well as that calf-length skirt made of meters of material made her look thinner.
Millions of young girls dream of becoming a princess through marriage. A girl from Australia was married into a European court. Kate Middleton wed Prince William in a widely watched ceremony of the decade. Yet I suppose the dream of a well brought up Her Royal Highness is to be free for 36 hours. In this show, she grabbed it. After the much dreamed about freedom, she could return to her royal routine. It is like she had the cake and ate it.
