5.0 out of 5 stars Your sunny funny face June 20, 2007
Format:DVD
Audrey Hepburn was -- and remains -- the perfect illustration of elegance and sophistication in Hollywood. A lot of actresses have tried to imitate her look, but they couldn't manage the same grace and skill, both onscreen and off.

And the "Audrey Hepburn Five Pac" brings together five of the films that helped shape that image, including her three top starmaking roles. Okay, they're not her most impressive. But even when they're uneven ("Paris When It Sizzles"), her movies are charming, sweet and just a little bit quirky.

Bored young Princess Ann (Hepburn) goes on a "Roman Holiday," when she has a bad reaction to a sedative. She wanders straight into struggling American journalist Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck). When he realizes she's the missing princess, he takes her on a fun vacation in Rome, with his pal taking photos for a hit article. Yet he's also falling in love with Ann... and she's torn between love and duty.

"Sabrina" (Hepburn) is the daughter of the chauffeur at the palatial Larabee estate, and is in love with the ne'er-do-well second son, David (William Holden). After a stint at a cooking school, where she gains sophistication and confidence, she returns to enthrall David. But since his brother Linus (Humphrey Bogart) has arranged a business marriage for David, Linus starts to woo Sabrina instead... and falls for her as well.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a daily ritual for Holly Golightly, a social butterfly. When kept man Paul Varjak (George Peppard) moves into a nearby apartment, he is instantly enchanted by the ditzy, sweet-natured Holly. But for all Holly's fun, Paul starts to realize that all is not well with her. As Holly's life starts to deteriorate, Paul sets out to show her what her life will be like without real love.

Format:DVD
Only Audrey Hepburn retains the level of cache that would justify the constant repackaging of her films, and here are five films - three of which have already been presented as a set, the Audrey Hepburn Collection - presented in yet another DVD package. Her natural charm and grace are pervasive throughout - even when the vehicles themselves sometimes fail to engage - but all provide proof positive that she was among the most consistently affecting of actresses.

In a beautifully restored print, 1953's Roman Holiday (*****) provides a most enchanting introduction to the then-24 year old actress thanks mainly to director William Wyler's expert direction and Dalton Trumbo's sweetly observant script. In hindsight, it is a modest performance compared to Hepburn's later work, but Wyler knew enough to let her natural breeding serve its purpose in conveying the carriage of a princess who experiences her first glimpse into the world outside her hermetically sealed world. The revelation here is really Gregory Peck, handsome and stalwart as always but in this movie quite relaxed with a surprising light comedy touch. It is actually his Joe Bradley that goes through the dramatic character arc that makes the ending so bittersweet. Wyler's humanistic touch is everywhere - from the comic haircutting scene with the smitten barber to the famous Mouth of Truth scene where Peck pretends to lose his hand to the concluding press conference, which turns into a dance of acting nuance and unspoken feelings.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Price $5.60/DVD May 6, 2008
By Nita
Format:DVD
Breakfast at Tiffany's - Anniversary Edition - Widescreen
Sabrina - Full Screen
Roman Holiday - Collector's Edition - Full Screen
Funny Face - Anniversary Edition - Widescreen
Paris When it Sizzles - Widescreen

Each DVD comes individually wrapped in its own case with official cover from the movie, for about $5.60 Each. I like this better than placing all the DVDs in one box like most TV Seasons are wrapped (Ex. LOST)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Crossection of some of Audrey's Best September 7, 2008
Format:DVD
This collection of movies definitely show the best of Audrey Hepburn. Each movie shows the different side of Audrey's amazing talent. As for the product itself, every DVD comes in its own, slim case and all of them fit nicely into the outer box. I'm not sure if they're digitally remastered, but the picture quality of each movie is excellent. My favorite so far is probably Funny Face.
If you are an Audrey Hepburn fan or really want to become one (or are a lover of great movies) I definitely recommend this boxed set. It is quite a deal!

It showed up in great condition. I haven't watched any of the DVDs yet so I can't say that they are working well. But they appear perfect and new, as described.
