Jump cutting back and forth in time with seeming abandon, Donen and scriptwriter Frederic Raphael chronicle the 12-year relationship between architect Wallace (Albert Finney) and his wife (Audrey Hepburn). While backpacking through Europe, student Finney falls for lovely music student Jacqueline Bisset, but later settles for Hepburn, another aspiring musician (this vignette served as the launching pad for the film-within-a-film in Francois Truffaut's 1973 classic Day for Night). Once married, Finney and Hepburn go on a desultory honeymoon, travelling in the company of insufferable American tourists William Daniels and Eleanor Bron and their equally odious daughter Gabrielle Middleton. Later on, during yet another road trip, Finney is offered an irresistible job opportunity by Claude Dauphin, which ultimately distances Finney from his now-pregnant wife. Still remaining on the road, the film then details Finney and Hepburn's separate infidelities. The film ends where it begins, with Finney and Hepburn taking still another road vacation, hoping to sew up their unraveling marriage. While critics did nip-ups over Stanley Donen's "revolutionary" nonlinear story-telling techniques, audiences responded to the chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney, not to mention the unforgettable musical score by Henry Mancini. Note: many TV prints of Two for the Road are edited for content, robbing the viewer of Finney and Hepburn's delightful "B-itch/Bastard" closing e

Best known for light, entertaining musicals such as Singin' in the Rain, director Stanley Donen grew more adventurous (and less successful) in the latter stages of his career, but this edgy romantic comedy from 1967 has proven to be one of Donen's best, most enduring films. Jumping back in forth in time, the film chronicles the marital ups and downs of a stylish British couple (Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn) as they travel on various vacations over the course of their 12-year marriage. The separate vignettes combine to form a collage of joys and pains as the young couple struggles to maintain their fading marital bliss. In this regard, the film is refreshingly sophisticated in its treatment of the difficulties of long-term commitment, and with Hepburn and Finney in the leads, great performances are drawn from the acerbic wit of Frederick Raphael's screenplay. Fashion mavens will also marvel at Hepburn's astonishing wardrobe of late-'60s fashion--she's a showcase for summer couture, looking fantastic in everything from candy-striped bellbottoms to hip sunglasses and outrageously stylish hats. Some of the melodrama clashes with forced comedy (such as tiresome running gags or a cartoonish portrayal of crass American tourists), but that doesn't stop Two for the Road from being timelessly appealing and truthful to the challenge of lasting love. --Jeff Shannon

This movie "Two for the Road" has been a favorite of mine since it came out. It is a little different to watch as it is filmed as they do often in France, going back and forth with sequences which can be a bit confusing. Neverless, it is really a wonderful, fun movie. Audrey Hepburn is delightful as always and Albert Finney is very good,too. Their love story when they first find each other is passionate and continues to be although they have the usual problems after they are married. I would reccomment ... Read More

Vacation in France in six steps of the lives of relatively young married people. They go from hitch hiking to a Mercedes Benz in a space of a little over ten years. They have all the problems of modern marriages
and all the best of a very good relationship.
They actually seem to understand each other's faults.
I liked even though it is so a "chick flick".

The DVD arrived in days, still in the plastic wrap with all original casings. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but everything looks perfect. Great price; quality buy. Could Audrey Hepburn be any more beautiful and endearing?

This movie is timeless. It is beautifully written, photograghed, directed. The acting is second to none. Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney are completely convincing as a long time married couple whose marriage is not always perfect. Their characters show vulnerability and the insecurity that often goes with real life relationships. They positively sizzle on screen and are both a delight to watch, their persons and their acting. The locales make it that much more beautiful, the gorgeous countryside ... Read More

This movie is absolutely spectacular. Consider it the "indie film" of it's time, as it was created in 1967, but filmed in a non-linear fashion. The story follows a couple by the names of Mark and Joanna Wallace through a series of trips to the South of France with one another.
The best part about the whole film is the fact that it feels so real. The banter between the couple is witty, fresh, and relatable. I highly recommend it. Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn have great chemistry.
