Roman Holiday / Vacances Romaines (1953)
A truly magnificent original 1953 country-of-origin French "Grande" poster for the timeless romantic comedy Roman Holiday (Vacances Romaines). This piece is one of the most sought-after and collectible posters for the film.
Set against the enchanting backdrop of postwar Rome, this timeless romantic comedy beautifully evokes the fleeting magic of unexpected love and newfound freedom. A legendary screen test earned 23-year-old Audrey Hepburn the starring role, marking a dazzling American debut that won her an Academy Award. Portraying Princess Ann, a royal yearning to break free from her duties, Hepburn captivates alongside Gregory Peck's Joe Bradley, a shrewd American journalist who conceals her identity to secure an exclusive story.
The poster's stunning, romantic artwork is by the celebrated French artist Roger Soubie (1898-1984), a favored artist for major American studios. His illustration perfectly captures the film's charm, showcasing the radiant Hepburn, the dashing Peck, and the iconic Vespa ride that cemented the film in cinematic history.
