A Night of Italian Romance

Title:	Roman Holiday (1953), d. William Wyler
Starring:	Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck
Summary:	On an official visit to Rome, a pampered European princess escapes her handlers and connects with a dashing American reporter. He soon realizes who she is and squires her on a secret whirlwind tour – but while she exults in her temporary freedom and he relishes the story he’ll write, they begin to fall in love. The rarest of movies, a romantic comedy that gets both men and women right here.
Dress:	Casual European elegance. Summer dresses for the ladies. Suits, no ties, for the men.
Music:	Enrico Caruso, Dean Martin, Vic Damone, Al Martino, and you can never go wrong with Sinatra.
Food:	Checked-tablecloth Italian. Serve antipasti, then a big pasta bowl – how about linguine with sun-dried tomato pesto? Throw in some pine nuts. Gelato for dessert.
Drink:	Chianti! Ruffino is the label everyone knows, but for options, look for the black rooster on the neck of the bottle, the guarantee of authenticity of the Consorzio Chianti Classico. That’s what Gregory Peck would do.
