Abstract
Roman Holiday (1953) is one of the most import works by Dalton Trumbo as a screenwriter in his “blacklist” era. Based on It Happened One Night (1934), directed by Frank Capra, Trumbo wrote a story about a princess escaping from her loyal family and a journalist trying to write an article about her. There are some differences between both films, while they share one important theme: each main character has a good virtue. Trumbo consistently kept emphasizing this quality of “virtue” in his works. By defending the value of “virtue” in Roman Holiday, he fiercely denounced and protested the system of the “blacklist” which expelled many talented filmmakers from Hollywood in the 1950s.
