Paramount is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the classic romantic comedy Roman Holiday starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck with a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, Digital Combo Pack on August 15.

Audrey Hepburn stars in the story of a modern-day princess who, rebelling against her royal obligations, explores Rome and falls in love with an American newspaperman played by Gregory Peck.

William Wyler's Romantic Holiday premiered in U.S. theaters on August 27, 1953 and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actress (Hepburn), and Best Writing for Dalton Trumbo - who was originally left off the film credits for "refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee" and has since been credited by the Academy and WGA for his work.
