Sheltered princess Audrey Hepburn gets drugged and wakes up in the apartment of news reporter Gregory Peck while visiting Rome. Sensing the opportunity for a well-paying exclusive story, he enlists the help of photographer Eddie Albert and they accompany her around the sights of the city. They fall in love, but she must return to her old life after the day is over. Their real identities are revealed to each other in a memorable finale, which, thankfully, does not adhere to the typical Hollywood happy ending. Entertaining fluff.
