gregory peck is a funny man, who knew
I spent three days watching Roman Holiday, in little bits and pieces, while eating sandwiches or whatnot. Perhaps that is how I can watch Hollywood movies. It didn't seem to lose momentum or anything. The movie is not so great, although it does make Rome look like a fun place to visit, with lots of great backdrops. Mostly, though, Gregory Peck comes off as someone with excellent comedic timing -- far funnier than the actual "funny guy" in the movie, Eddie Albert, who hams it up awkwardly -- and certainly more interesting than Audrey Hepburn, whose blank face is upstaged by her haircut. (She won an Oscar for that? What? Whatever, Hollywood.)
