Okay, I grabbed that line from Roman Holiday: I'm Princess Anne(or Audrey Hepburn or both for that matter) and a whole day of adventure and excitement awaits! Except in this case, substitute eating for adventure and catching up with family for excitement. It's still going to be a blast! If company goes home early I may even get a chance to sit down and watch Audrey Hepburn in this same film that became her big screen debut. It is definitely one of the classic movies I am thankful for, among MANY many others.
In case you haven't seen the movie, here's some background: Princess Anne (Hepburn) is touring Rome with her royal entourage when she gets frustrated with all the fanfare of being a princess and decides to runaway and spend some time exploring the city on her own. In the city, American journalist Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck) meets Anne, who is covering as Anya Smith, and figures he can get an inside scoop on the princess if he accompanies her and shows her around town on her "Roman Holiday". You can expect that eventually romance becomes the typical conflict of interest for both characters. Rest assured: the movie has a somewhat happy ending.
If you haven't seen this film yet, you're gonna love it! The cinematography of this film gives the audience a great view of and feel for the city. I only wish they could have made this one in color! Either way, it's pretty much guaranteed that the adventures Anne and Joe have will make you want to pack up and head to Rome for you're own fun! It might even spur you to book a trip for your next Thanksgiving holiday!
Here's a clip. Enjoy! and have a fantastic Thanksgiving!
