Join us for our opening night screening of ROMAN HOLIDAY, featuring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck!
In her breakout American debut, Audrey Hepburn stars as Ann, a princess on a state visit to Italy. Seeking adventure, she sneaks away from her duties to explore Rome, where she meets Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck), a charming American reporter. Unbeknownst to Ann, Joe plans to sell a story about her, but romance soon complicates his intentions.
ROMAN HOLIDAY is a delightful rom-com that set the standard for the genre, thanks to the irresistible chemistry between Hepburn and Peck. Filmed entirely on location in Rome, it was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won three, including Best Actress for Hepburn, launching her international career. ROMAN HOLIDAY remains a timeless classic and one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time.
Come early to catch Betty Boop as POOR CINDERELLA (1934) before the screening. Fleischer Studios’ first color film, this vintage cartoon features a red-haired Betty Boop and is the only film in which she appears with red hair.
Come early to hear the Orpheum’s Mighty Wurlitzer organ being played ahead of the film. Live pre-show organ music by Edward Torres.
Stay in your seat after the screening for a FREE Q&A about the historic Orpheum Theatre.
