Film background
First released in 1953, Roman Holiday is one of the defining post-war romantic films—pairing Hepburn’s luminous screen breakthrough as a sheltered European princess with Peck’s cynical American journalist in a day-long escape through Rome. The film won multiple Academy Awards (including Best Actress for Hepburn) and has remained an enduring touchstone of cinematic charm, travel-romance fantasy, and bittersweet restraint.

Poster design
A wonderfully elegant Japanese re-release design that leans into classic studio glamour. Hepburn’s portrait dominates the sheet within an ornate circular frame—tiara, pearls, and a soft smile—set against Roman architectural grandeur. Beneath, a montage strip suggests the Vespa ride and key romantic moments, with Peck’s portrait anchoring the right side. The large green title 「ローマの休日」 fills the lower half with confident mid-century typography, while the Oscar callouts at left reinforce the film’s prestige positioning for the 1970 revival audience.
