The movie: Roman Holiday

A bored and sheltered princess escapes her guardians
and falls in love with an American newsman in Rome.

We had never seen this movie and I was thrilled to watch it.
Audrey is so charming and Gregory Peck is quite the leading man.
About half way through the film, I looked over at Roger
and said "I'm so glad that you can watch movies like this without being miserable."
After a brief pause I asked him
"You aren't miserable, are you?"
He grinned coyly and took a sip of his libation.
