There is only one aspect of this remake of the Gregory Peck - Audrey Hepburn classic that remains of interest. The father of the Princess appears in the remake. The King (Paul Daneman) comes to Rome with the plane that contains all the secret agents sent to find the Princess, and we see the King talking to the ambassador (Francis Matthews) about the situation - and his surprising sympathy for his daughter's flight from her duty. Finally Daneman does speak with Catherine Oxenberg (playing the Princess) when she returns to the embassy.
The acting was pretty good in this remake, but the original had more charm going for it. The only really interesting innovation was the role of the King. So for that I'm willing to give it a "6" out of a "10".
