What's left behind the scenes

  • Audrey Hepburn received the role of Princess Ann thanks to a screen test that has already become legendary. The cameraman was ordered not to turn off the camera after Hepburn's scene was finished. After the command "Cut!", the actress relaxed, behaved freely, answered questions frankly, and ultimately these few minutes earned her the coveted role.
  • After completing work on the film, Gregory Peck, who played Joe, told the producers that, since Hepburn would surely receive an "Oscar" for her role, her name should be listed first in the credits.
  • Initially, Frank Capra was supposed to direct this film, and he intended to cast Cary Grant and Elizabeth Taylor in the lead roles.
  • William Wyler, who replaced Capra, intended to cast Anna Simmons for the role, but when she became unavailable due to other projects, he was already prepared to abandon the film.
  • The film's screenwriter, Dalton Trumbo, was blacklisted as part of the legendary “Hollywood Ten.” Therefore, only the story author, Ian McLellan Hunter, was credited in the film credits, and he was the one who received the “Oscar.” Trumbo’s wife, Cleo, was able to receive the golden statuette rightfully belonging to her husband only in 1993, many years after his death (he died in 1976). Thus, two “Oscars” were awarded for the best screenplay of 1953. Trumbo’s name was added to the credits of the restored version of “Roman Holiday,” which was released in 2002.
  • Frank Capra left the project when he learned that the film would be shot according to a screenplay by Dalton Trumbo.
  • In 1999, this film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
  • During the filming of the scene where the princess says goodbye to Joe, the inexperienced Hepburn couldn't force herself to cry. As a result, after several futile takes, director William Wyler became furious, and then the actress genuinely burst into tears, which was captured on film.
  • Frank Capra left the project when he learned that the film would be shot from a screenplay by Dalton Trumbo.
