    I tend to think of a movie as well-written if, years later, I can actually remember what happens (as opposed to, "I remember it being scary" or "I remember that actor being good in it"). Roman Holiday is great because the end's so poignant. Harakiri is similar. So's Exotica. Damn, I love Exotica lol

    It's a curious film, all told. Kind of a gender-flipped ROMAN HOLIDAY with added romantic clutch at the end. And when you have a heroine named Fluffy, the title cards are bound to be a bit interesting.

    (2/2) Planer’s first Hollywood film was Holiday (1938); by the ‘40s, his services were being requested by A-list directors from John Huston to William Wyler to Max Ophüls. Five Oscar nods: for Champion, Death of a Salesman, Roman Holiday, The Nun's Story and The Children's Hour. #TheNoirCollective

    Uneven but enjoyable. Ovredal always knows how to make a great looking picture (fantastic use of Roman Holiday). The Passenger himself looked too generic, and I didn’t care for the needle drops. Not a bad horror movie imo, but a safe one in a month of big swings and new voices.

    Tonight on TCM #TCM ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953) One of the great romantic comedies, directed with a graceful touch by William Wyler and written by Dalton Trumbo, whose credit was initially hidden due to the blacklist. The film introduced Audrey Hepburn in her first major role. Highly recommended. 🎥
