Friends who often read my articles know that widows have diseases, and have always liked to dismember movies, lingchi pictures, and crush plots - what cigarettes the protagonist smokes, what wine he drinks, what cars he drives, what guns he makes, what gray machines walk what dogs... This time, it was time to attack Hepburn's ice cream.

What happened before and after Pike's marriage and cheating on the woman but not Hepburn's "Roman Holiday"? Also the male and female protagonists are innocent.

Today, I solemnly debunk the "ice cream" in Hepburn's hand! is for the sequel.

This article also has a variety of fun surrounding tidbits of "Roman Holiday" to come one by one, save it all at once!

Say something you don't know!

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > stop calling it ice cream, you will be laughed to death by foreign friends</h1>

Students who go to Rome should pay attention to the famous scene Spanish steps, take a picture of the same Hepburn, you must remember to bring a prop.

You ask, "Cone?" "Ice cream?" "Or the little man ice cream?"

Rome is famous for its Spanish Steps

Oh ~no all is not! Although this little thing also has an embossed omelet crisp, everyone takes it for granted that it is ice cream, but its large size is called Gelato!

Not ice cream Ice Cream, but Gelato! (Italian) You can pronounce it as "Gerato" or "Gera Bean".

If you call Gelato gelato ice cream, Italians will be upset. Because this is their national essence food, equivalent to Our country's Peking duck!

Italian specialty gelato

Handmade Gelato

In "Roman Holiday", Hepburn inadvertently wandered to the Spanish steps and bought a Gelato on the side of the road, and the vendor's food truck was painted with a word, a word difference, Gelati Geratti.

Last time I said it was Italian ice cream, after two friends @Laubers @MYY-Amitābhayus_ESAL corrected, this is the plural of Gelato. Even flipped through the Italian dictionary for me to find out the basis, thanks here!

My favorite hepburn in this scene is like a child.

Speaking of this Gelato in Hepburn's hand, it has a qualitative difference from ice cream, no water, no bubbles, and 100% dry goods.

It's like the difference between cream and boxed milk.

The traditional Gelato production materials sometimes make fruits, various types of nuts, milk, eggs, etc., produced by handmade family workshops, without mass production, except for the raw materials themselves, not mixed with a drop of water during the production process.

The philosopher Russell said, "There are no two identical leaves in the world," and italy does not have two identical Gelatos.

If there is a similarity, it is pure ice cream.

Walking the streets of Rome, you can find a century or two hundred-year-old Gelato handicraft workshop, with an average of 5,000 people having their own Gelato shop. The owner can improvise Gelato with different materials, different styles and different themes according to his mood. Therefore, the biggest feature of this food is "personality", and the standard KPI of the post-industrial era is not good here!

By the way, now that I go to rome, I want to take a photo on the steps of Hepburn.

There are more tourists than tourists in the city management next to you, and the offender will be fined 250 euros.

The exchange rate of the euro today is 1 euro = 7.9488 yuan, how much to calculate.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" Who wrote this poem that Princess Anne read >? </h1>

At the 19th point of the film, in Rome's Forum, Joe and Annie meet for the first time on the street, when Joe advises, "Don't drink so much without alcohol", Princess Anne recites a poem to herself, completely confusing Joe.

Over the years, many viewers have searched for the author and provenance of the poem, but Paramount has been noncommittal, some people say that it is Shelley's work, and some people say that it is Keats.

Because Shelley and Keats both lived in Rome, the house is at 26 on the east side of the Spanish Steps (Keats-Shelley House).

If Shelley had been alive, he would have pushed open the window to see Hepburn, a little girl basking in the sun.

The red shop window is the Keats-Shelley House

Paramount is then caught in a dilemma, as both poets are of British origin and are accused of alluding to the real princess, Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth.

Don't blame the public for suspicion, the similarity is too high. As we all know, Margaret gave up her true love for the face of the royal family and struggled with pain for the rest of her life.

Princess Margaret

In fact, the crew of "Roman Holiday" has given enough face to the British royal family, and the opening calendar of Princess Anne's visits to the country has mentioned Buckingham Palace, and in order to avoid suspicion, basically the European royal family has visited all over, so that you can only conclude that this Princess Anne is from Eastern Europe.

In the scene where Anne "drunkenly sleeps" on the bench, the poem quoted hints at the sad love ending of the male protagonist and the woman. The first time you watch it, you'll be amused, as if you're teasing a princess. When you watch it for the second time, you will feel sad.

In fact, the author of the poem is neither Shelley nor Keats, but the screenwriter of the film, Dalton Trumbo.

For reasons known to him, he had been blacklisted by that time. This poem does not have to stand up for the credit, and even the name cannot appear on the big screen. The version we are seeing now was added after the 2002 Fiftieth Anniversary Edition.

Note the third line of Story by.

The first line of screenwriter IAN McLELLAN HUNTER Ian McClellan Hunter is his good friend, this person is more worthy of admiration, Ian handed over all of the $50,000 to Dalton Trumbo, did not take anything, and personally confirmed that the poem was written by Dalton.

With Chandolton's family moving to Mexico, he had a leisurely life, often soaking in the bathtub at home to write, and occasionally flying over a parrot given by Kirk Douglas and perching on his shoulder, because he was writing a spartacus corner book.

"Roman Holiday" screenwriter Dalton Trumbo

Seventeen years after his death, at the 65th Academy Awards in 1993, Dalton finally won the Academy Awards that the Oscars owed him for forty years. Taken by his widow, Cleo Finch.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" What are the cute little motorcycles and cars in the > film? </h1>

There are shooting stars in the sky alas

In the film, the scene where Owen secretly filmed Princess Anne is hilarious, one is the ghostly male protagonist Joe's small actions are continuous ~ Hey, there are shooting stars in the sky, we see such a cute Parker for the first time; the second is the small motorcycle that appears in the film, and the mini car of friends Owen is also very cute.

1. Let's talk about this pedal motorcycle, its name is Wasp (Wasp)!

This crew saved an Italian brand.

The originally desperate Piaggio family Piaggio turned over and turned a profit very suddenly. Many Italian companies were associated with the military during World War II, so they became key Allied air targets in the later stages of the war.

If it is not appropriate to say that the rice and pond fish are not appropriate, the Piaggio family itself is the production of airplanes, as the people of the defeated country, they have to turn into a civilian with sadness and tears.

Vespa 125 Wasp pedal bike

Wasps, which sound quite tall, are actually the big wasps we are familiar with.

Not only is it buzzing everywhere you go, it causes headaches, but it is also deadly aggressive, which is an occupational disease and sequelae of fighter aircraft manufacturers. From the product name, it can be seen how tragic this road to military to civilian transformation has gone.

After all, it was produced in 1946, and mussolini's dizzy head was still too late to wake up.

After mass production in 1950, only 60,000 vehicles were sold annually, which was a bit too much compared to the population of 40 million in Italy at that time.

At that time, however, the Italian civilian population was mostly in abject poverty and had extremely limited purchasing power.

We can also see from the 1948 Italian movie "The Bicycle Thief" that losing a broken bicycle is equivalent to killing a family (the hero put posters on the streets).

Stills from the 1948 movie The Bike Thief

We can also see from the stills of "Roman Holiday" that the manufacturer has changed the logo to wasp's English harmonic - Vespa (Vesper).

Began to send autumn waves to English-speaking countries and regions.

Since the wasp pedal was ridden by Hepburn Parker, the company has been running, the enthusiasm of the people of various countries for this product has never been higher, and orders have surged in, and by 1969, more than 4 million vehicles have been sold, which is not counting the authorized production of various countries.

Ok, remember its big name, the Vespa 125 Wasp pedal bike.

2. Another military-to-civilian enterprise is not so good!

Another military-to-civilian enterprise is not so good, because this product belongs to rational consumption after all - civil aviation airliners.

After Princess Anne fled, her father sent ten commissioners to Rome to search for her daughter's whereabouts.

Later, he was smashed by Hepburn with a guitar in the Water Ballroom.

These ten unlucky guys dressed exactly the same came to Rome in the Breda Passat BZ.308 and took the model with them.

Designed for routes across Europe and the Atlantic, this airliner was shipped in 1949 and is the only one that is a prototype.

In Roman Holiday, he was only three years old. The film did not change its fate after it became popular, because of the lack of orders that led to the suspension of production.

The main reason is not Hepburn Parker, but to blame the common people for remembering too well, because the designer concocted a classic fighter during World War II, and the name is frightening - Z.1007 Kingfisher!

The designer's name is Filippo Zappata!

3. Let's talk about Owen's Fiat mini car!

There was once an Italian prime minister named Berlusconi, who once visited Fiat on a whim and sighed: "Ah ~ the first time most Italians happened in a Fiat car..."

It happened more than twenty years ago, and I broke out in a cold sweat when I saw it— "Roman Holiday" had already done a good job of advertising, and it was quite pure. A car is also set up by someone, please.

Many fans and friends love the Fiat 500, which is on par with bmw MINI and Beetle!

The car we see in Roman Holiday is the ancestor of the Fiat 500 – the Fiat Topolino 500 from 1936!

Topolino means Mickey Mouse in Italian, so you can call this car a Fiat 500 Mickey Mouse.

It was the smallest model in the world at the time, and the Sparrow was small but well-equipped. The speed is 85 kilometers per hour, the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is six liters, and the price is about 8800 lira today.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > this actor is a good friend of Pike's and has lived for 99 years! </h1>

Eddie Albert

Eddie was a close friend of Pike's life, a full ten years older than Pike.

You may not be able to see that this strong boy with neat legs in "Roman Holiday" was nearly the age of destiny at that time - 46 years old!

In Roman Holiday, Joe and his friend Owen

When Pike was alive, he was a good brother who was eight years older than himself.

In fact, Eddie's mother secretly changed his date of birth from 1906 to 1908 to conceal the fact that he was illegitimate.

Because of his poor family as a child, Eddie worked as a newsboy, a roadside vendor, and eventually a circus trapeze artist.

His only son was only one year old when he filmed Roman Holiday, and it was a tough day.

Through Eddie's history of struggle, everyone can also see that a poor boy who is not very good-looking can get good social resources as long as he makes unremitting efforts and treats people sincerely.

He received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for this film, and in 1973 he took another nomination for the film "Green Love".

Classmates who have seen Midway may be impressed by this Lieutenant Tom, edward Albert, the son of Eddie.

1976 film Midway (Battle of Midway)

Lieutenant Tom Garth in Midway

It is a pity that this young man, who was originally versatile and had a good acting future, finally got Alzheimer's syndrome in 1990, and in turn had to be cared for by his old father Eddie.

Fortunately, Eddie's body was great, jumping around, eating ma ma xiang, father and son relied on each other, until 2005, when 99-year-old Eddie suddenly contracted pneumonia and died suddenly.

A year later, on September 22, 2006, Edward followed his father and died of lung cancer.

Therefore, this child, if you want to be born, you will be born early, and you will take care of each other in the future.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" > director played everyone</h1>

You may notice that there is a small explanation at the beginning -

This film was photographed and recorded in its entirety in Roma,Itayly.

The film was filmed and recorded in Rome, Italy.

There is also a slogan on the poster - the first Film in the United States to be fully filmed in Italy!

It seems that the producer is very proud, and now it looks quite funny.

It was director William Wheeler who insisted on shooting in Rome instead of the original Hollywood set. The producers thus revised the film's budget — $800,000 (eventually tossed to $1.5 million by the director).

Because the budget was sharply reduced, the film used black and white film, and the producer also declared to the outside world that "shooting a color film is worried that the beautiful scenery of Rome has robbed the male and female protagonists of their appearance".

In fact, there are too many variables in off-site shooting, and the most prominent place is that there is no money to hire a big-name heroine, so I have to use a newcomer Hepburn (originally planned to be Elizabeth Taylor).

The truth, however, is that director William Wheeler has his own little calculations. He was being investigated by the House Of Representatives Committee on African National Activities because of his consistent liberal stance.

Wheeler 36 counts to go up, taking the opportunity to run to Rome to avoid the wind.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="06" > director himself has a sad past and unfinished love affair</h1>

"Roman Holiday" william Wheeler William Wyler German-Jewish

William Wheeler was a fantastic director, taking 11 Oscars for 1959's Book of Hearts, a record that wasn't broken until Titanic forty years later!

It is really a generation of overlords in the film industry!

In the final scene of "Roman Holiday", Hepburn turned around and looked at Pike with tears in his eyes, and these two tears were scolded by the director.

Hepburn, who was still a little girl at the time, played the heroine of a movie for the first time, ran to the scenery like a Queen of Rome for two months, and his heart was extremely excited, so he couldn't cry.

William Wheeler roared in front of more than a hundred people, "Don't waste film, okay?" ”

Hepburn naturally couldn't face up and down, and he was so aggrieved that he finally broke down in tears. Now it seems that the effect is quite good.

William Wheeler became a close friend in his early years and rose to prominence in the film industry as an apprentice.

Because one of universal's founders, Carla Lemler, was his mother's cousin.

Carla Laemmle lived 104 years

This film company Silent Film Times specializes in the filming of the United States, and it is a windfall! When Pike was nine years old, he was so frightened by watching Universal's "Phantom of the Opera" that he couldn't sleep at night, so he had to go into his grandmother's bed for protection.

William Wheeler's apprenticeship, but the film he made with a strong scholarly atmosphere, which is quite amazing. For example, I like the 19th Oss Best Picture "Golden Age" (produced in 1946).

It's not the first time William Wheeler has been awarded an Oscar, as he was nominated as early as 1938 for "Red Shirt Tear Stains."

But he was frustrated after that movie, and he was faced with two things he didn't want.

First, the Venice Film Festival had to award him the Mussolini Cup, which was really a complete cup;

The second is that the heroine has just conceived a child, his.

Left: Stills of "Red Shirt Tear Stains" Color is dyed Right: "Massacre on the Nile"

We also know this beautiful woman, Mrs. Van Schuler in "Massacre on the Nile", Betty Davis!

Before Betty Davis even entered the group, Humphrey Bogart had warned her – "I hate William Wheeler, I have to reshoot every scene, never tell the actor why, a little cutscene with a change of clothes has to be shot 28 times!" Be careful with him..."

However, halfway through the filming of "Red Shirt Tear Stains", Betty actually said to people, "It is also good to retake a shot more than a hundred times, oh, I find myself better than once."

Her friends around her were taken aback, Betty Davis has always been hot-tempered, how did she suddenly turn into a little sheep?

In fact, at this time, Betty had unconsciously fallen in love with William Wheeler.

Betty Davis Bette Davis

William Wheeler was single and divorced, had an engaged girlfriend, Margaret, and Betty was married.

In early 1938, Bebe cried a lot before the crew disbanded, because she would never see him again.

Although they have secretly lived together, the relationship is finally over.

On October 23, 1938, William Wheeler officially married Margaret until her death.

On December 6 of the same year, Bebe Davis broke up with her first husband, and for the rest of her life she remembered William Wheeler, saying that he was the most loved person in her life.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="07" > director digs a new person in Italy - "Garrison Death Squad" scene</h1>

"Drama" Sissar danova Cesare Danova

When William Wheeler was filming in Rome, he met a "newcomer" who couldn't help but be impressed by his unfinished business, "Bin Hur".

As a German-Jewish, such an epic blockbuster as "Bin Hun" must be filmed, and it must be filmed well!

For this reason, he has been looking for the male protagonist for a long time.

At that time, Sisal was not a "newcomer", he was a first-line student in Italy, basically Italian Huang Xiaoming.

Regardless of appearance, age, temperament, height, and popularity, basically no one is out of the way. The only person who can compete with him in popularity is Quasimodo in "Notre Dame de Paris".

What was Sisal's acting status before he met William Wheeler? Here's a list of forms for you:

The Captain's Daughter (1947) (21-year-old debut, male number three)

The Year of Monaka (1949)

Hero Trooper (1950)

"The Hustle and Bustle More Than a Month Ago" 1951 (starring)

The King's Letter (1951)

"Pentium" (1952) (starring)

……

William Wheeler suggested that Sissar focus his career on Hollywood, and the two worked together to ponder the future of Bin hue.

At that time, he was basically determined to play the male protagonist, because the Sissar from an aristocratic family had a classical appearance and outstanding temperament.

I have written a short biography of Sissar Danova before, and in that article you can learn more about his prominent family and brilliant resume.

Sisal then traveled to Hollywood to sign a contract with MGM, but director William Wheeler changed his mind!

He suddenly felt that another actor was closer to the appearance of Binxuan - Charlton Heston!

Where did these two little wasp motorcycles get?

In the end, William Wheeler abandoned Sissar and replaced him. An actor who plays such a role as Bin Xuan all his life is enough.

However, all this has nothing to do with oneself.

For Sissar, this hatred is endless!

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="08" > Princess Anne was the heroine of "The Prince's Revenge"</h1>

In 1948, William Wheeler was thrilled after watching The Prince's Revenge and became fascinated by the heroine Jane Simmons.

Insisting on letting her play Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday", yes, the film has been in place since then.

In fact, I was fascinated by her, especially when Ophelia went crazy, and her long-lost brother saw her again and was deeply shocked, leaning against the wall and muttering, "Oh my dear sister, the rose of May..."

My heart is going to break.

Indeed, Jane Simmons deserves the phrase "The Rose of May."

Jean Simmons

However, the remaining two producers of "Roman Holiday" did not look favorably on her, feeling that her temperament was gloomy, unlike the princess who was loved by thousands of people.

William Wheeler was unhappy, preferred not to shoot, and shelved the script.

In 1952, when he wanted to sneak abroad and reboot Roman Holiday, Jane Simmons and Elizabeth Taylor had no schedule, and they were expensive.

Finally, mourning was replaced by Hepburn.

Speaking of Simmons, when the school organized a watch of Spartacus in 1988, I saw Simmons and Oliver again.

Jane Simmons is apt to play the role of a slave girl with an airbag (Spartacus's woman).

Lawrence Oliver starred as Crassus, the richest man in Rome, and to be honest, Oliver is old, but Jane Simmons is still bright and moving.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="09" > taxi driver and police chief are brothers</h1>

Alfredo Rizzo

After the taxi driver appeared, the comedy of the film became stronger.

Although it was less than two minutes, the actor was very impressed.

In particular, he draws a line against Pikeby – "This is your trouble, not mine!" "The shrewd calculations of the little people in the city are portrayed very vividly, vividly, and almost ready to come out.

The Alfred Rizzo is a French-born actor and director who has been active in the Roman Lazio show business (Lazio is the film's main filming location).

So it's not easy to look at this person as soon as he appears.

In addition, Pic Hepburn later rode around on a small motorcycle, knocking a group of good citizens to the side and finally being carried to the police station, played by the chief of the bureau called Carlo Rizzo, the brother of the taxi driver Rizzo.

Carlo Rizzo

It's still quite like Oh~

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="10" where princess Anne slept >? </h1>

I was very impressed by the scene, because when the film was released in our city, there was a TV commercial for the first time.

Roughly around 1987.

And that advertisement was used as a gimmick for this drama, and the "mouth of truth" that later bit off people's hands.

Princess Anne mischievously turned her head to look at the carved dome in the bedroom, feeling that it was so pompous that it corresponded to the poor sour water heater she later saw in Joe's house.

Many viewers have been wondering where this extravagantly decorated so-called embassy is.

In fact, this is the famous Palace of Barberini in Rome, and when you hear the name, you know that it is the homestead of the Barberini family.

It is now the National Gallery of Ancient Art of Italy.

The Iron Gate when Joe and Anne were separated—

The gate of the Barberini Palace

By the way, Joe really lives at Via Margutta 51, as he told taxi drivers.

Now the house is still there, but the room on the second floor is locked.

<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="11" > "Mouth of Truth" Pike play, Hepburn's scream is a real reaction</h1>

In his later years, Pike mentioned the female stars he worked with, the first of which was Hepburn, the second of which was Ingrid Bergman, and the third was Ava Gardner of Kilimanjaro.

Pike once said that when filming "Roman Holiday", he looked at Hepburn like he saw a flower slowly blooming.

In the famous "Mouth of Truth" scene, Hepburn's performance of Pike's "bitten hand" is real.

Just before the cameras began filming, Pike quietly told director William Wheeler that he intended to borrow a gimmick from comedian Red Scotton, and that his hand was hidden in his sleeve as he pulled it out of the sculpture's mouth. Wheeler agreed, but both hid it from Hepburn.

When she saw Pike's "lost hand," she let out a "very nice, very appropriate scream."

This is Hepburn's knee-jerk real reaction, and the scene was filmed only once.

And the comedian Red Skelton mentioned by Pike we also know!

Surprised?! Surprised?! Happy?!

Okay, today's classic interpretation will be here for everyone, I wish you a happy weekend! See you next time!
