It wasn't until last summer that I saw Roman Holiday for the very first time. I've always loved Rome, so that was an automatic plus, and Gregory Peck is delightfully devious, and Audrey Hepburn was the fashion icon of mid-century films; really there was no room to go wrong.
One of my favorite parts of the film, aside from every scene that involved riding a Vespa, was when Audrey's character buys these cute, cheap sandals while walking down the street, even though she has almost no money. It's her appreciating the culture, the style, and the every day fashion of people she has never had any contact with (if you haven't seen the film, she's a Princess who decides to run away in the middle of a tour of Europe).
There's something about this movie that makes me smile just thinking about it. Hmmm :)
