vintagegal:Roman Holiday (1953) dir. William WylerIn the famous “Mouth of Truth” scene, Audrey Hepburn’s reaction to Gregory Peck’s “bitten-off hand” was genuine. Just before the cameras rolled, Peck quietly told director William Wyler that he was going to borrow a gag from comedian Red Skelton, and have his hand hidden up his sleeve when he pulled it out of the sculpture’s mouth. Wyler agreed, but Hepburn was not told. When she saw Peck’s “missing hand,” she let out what she later described as “a good and proper scream.” The scene was filmed in only one take.
