Dalton Trumbo’s Screenwriting Credit Restored to ‘Roman Holiday’
The whimsical secret of Audrey Hepburn’s royal status may be the heart of William Wyler‘s “Roman Holiday,” but for years the romantic comedy concealed another more troubling truth: the film was missing the screenwriting credit of Dalton Trumbo, the blacklisted writer and its true author, and instead attributed his work to Ian McLellan Hunter. Now, nearly 60 years after the 1953 release of “Roman Holiday,” the Writers Guild of America, West said it had restored Trumbo’s credit following the efforts of Trumbo’s and Hunter’s sons.
Trumbo, who died in 1976, was one of 10 filmmakers—the so-called Hollywood Ten—who were cited for contempt of Congress in 1947 when they refused to testify about their political beliefs before the House Un-American Activities Committee; he served 11 months in prison and was effectively unable to continue working in the film industry. After Trumbo wrote the screenplay for “Roman Holiday” in exile in Mexico, Hunter, who was later blacklisted himself, served as a front writer, receiving the payment for the work (which he passed along to Trumbo) as well as the writing credit (which he shared with another writer, John Dighton).

Audrey Hepburn—Moon River (via Music from the Films of Audrey Hepburn)
(Moon River, composed by Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini, was originally sung in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Audrey Hepburn & was written to fit her vocal range. The song went on to win the year’s Academy Award for Best Original Song)
Moon river, wider than a mile,
I’m crossing you in style someday.
Oh, dream maker, you heartbreaker,
Wherever you’re going, I’m going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world,
There’s such a lot of world to see.
We’re after the same rainbow’s end,
Waiting ’round the bend,
My huckleberry friend,
Moon river and me.

No one knows who designed the iconic sunglasses Audrey Hepburn wore in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Speculated to be any one of a number of brands, they were most likely provided by the venerable British eyewear company Oliver Goldsmith, which made all the frames the actress wore in “Charade,” “How to Steal a Million,” “Roman Holiday” and “Two for the Road.”
The company has created a replica of the oversize Holly Golightly frames to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the film.
Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses, $370 at Artsee Eyewear, 259 Avenue of the Americas, (212) 414-0900.
