Marcel Hillaire

Overwhelmed by her suffocating schedule, touring European princess Ann (Audrey Hepburn) takes off for a night while in Rome. When a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, however, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter, Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck),who takes her back to his apartment for safety. At work the next morning, Joe finds out Ann's regal identity and bets his editor he can get exclusive interview with her, but romance soon gets in the way.

Woody Allen stars as Virgil Starkwell in his first feature film as writer, director and star, told in a hilarious pseudo-documentary style that is simply hilarious. Virgil is shy and likable, has a high IQ, but resents authority and soon takes to crime (robbing gum-ball machines). Before reaching age 25, the extremely inept criminal is known to police by five aliases. Virgil's criminal escapades only worsen after meeting the lovely laundress, Louise, whom he desperately tries to impress.
