To be honest, I'd have given this movie a 7 based solely on Audrey Hepburn's performance. I have seen and liked Audrey in ''My fair Lady'' and ''Breakfast at Tiffany's'' but with this movie I have come to grow fond of the actress. That smile she puts on her face feels so genuine, it simply bewitches me. There was a guy who was constantly laughing too annoyingly in the theatre (and sometimes my girlfriend and I exchanged short kisses) but when there was a closeup of Audrey's face hardly anything could have made me take my eyes off the screen.
Such values like liberty and giving free rein to your curiosity are well explored in this classic romantic comedy and I believe Dalton Trumbo (the screenwriter who was not officially recognized as the true screenwriter until many years later) made a good choice to not choose a conventional, all-too-optimistic course for the way the movie concludes. I was also content with the choice of the cast. I wonder if the movie was by any means inspired by Queen Elizabeth's II's coronation, which happened one year before the movie's release, namely in 1952, though I cannot envisage any parallelism whatsoever as of the moment I'm writing this review.
A 9 out of 10 from me.
