Summary:
Princess Anne (Audrey Hepburn) visits Rome on a Goodwill Tour and has a nervous breakdown due to
the amount of stress on her. The doctor gives her medication to calm her down and to make her happy. She decides to leave
the palace for a while and take a tour of Rome. She meets an American reporter named Joe Bradley (Gergory Peck). At first
he doesn't realize that she is Princess Anne and being a gentleman, he takes her to his apartment until she becomes sober
again. The next morning, he reports to his boss, Mr. Hennessey (Hartley Power) late as usual, but finds out that
the person that is sleeping in his apartment is Princess Anne. He makes a bet with his boss that he will be able to get a
personal interview with Princess Anne including pictures. By now, the royal family has noticed that Princess Anne has disappeared
and has sent their secret service agents to find her. Joe makes a phone call to his photographer buddy, Irving Radovich (Eddie
Albert) and they both decide to split the money when they win the bet. Joe goes back to his apartment, but Anne has already
woken up and is preparing to go back. Anne borrows some money to take a taxi and leaves Joe. Instead of going back to the
palace, Anne goes to a barber shop and buys ice cream. Joe follows her and they bump into each other. Joe offers to give a
tour of Rome and Anne a.k.a Anya accepts. (Princess had lied to Joe and said that her name was Anya.) With Ivring follwing
them and taking pictures, Joe takes Anya to the Coliseum, a sidewalk cafe, and then to a barge where a dance is taking place.
At the barge, the secret service agents spot Princes Anne and a brawl occurs. Anne and Joe both escape. At first, Joe just
wanted a story from Anne, but has begun to like her very much. Princess Anne has begun to like Joe too and wants to stay with
him forever, however she realizes that she has a filal duty to fufill. They both say goodbye and Princess Anne returns to
the palace. With Anne gone, Joe decides not to write an article and loses his bet. The next day, at the press conference,
Joe and Ivring both give the pictures from her tour of Rome to Princess Anne. Joe stays until the end of the conference and
even with nobody there except the guards, he remains. Finally he walks out of the palace. THE END
