"Amazon did indeed refund me for this DVD, but as above, be aware. This DVD is made from the same old lousy public domain print that you see on PBS every few months. This is a great film, and deserves a great copy. I'll be ordering the Criteria version soon (after x-mas shopping), and hope that lives up to expectations. This one doesn't even deserve to be on videotape!"
"Do not buy this DVD! This is a very bad print and the master contains video drop outs. If I can't return it for credit and buy the Criterion version, I will burn it and chalk it up as a reminder never to buy a low cost version of anything worth watching. I am sorry, Criterion, I will never waste my money on lower quality versions again."
"You know why Audrey Hepburn was well-loved when you watch her in Roman Holiday as the innocent, suffocated princess who gets a chance to spread her wings and fall in love during an exciting trip in Rome.
This classic film introduced the world to a bright-eye young Audrey whose films tops the charts in the most beloved romantic films of all time. See the film to understand why the vespa is a symbol of romantic freedom. If you have ever visited Rome or would like to visit Rome, this is one of the best films to see to truly appreciate Rome, gelato, and the Spanish steps.
DVD highlights - the special features which include interviews with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn's audition tape.
Putting a Best Word Forward."
"Bottom line is you get what you pay for, DO NOT BUY this version, it wasw made from a very bad copy of the movie! The ones that have played about a million time trough a projector. Spend the money and get the criterion version."
