TWO FOR THE ROAD (1967) ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Stanley Donen
Audrey Hepburn, Albert Finney, Eleanor Bron,
William Daniels, Claude Dauphin, Jacqueline Bisset
Hepburn and Finney play a couple whose marriage is breaking up on a road trip in France. In flashbacks, they reflect on similar trips at other points in their relationship. It seems that the more they love each other, the more they hurt each other, and vice versa. A sharp, brittle comedy, neatly edited as it flips around between time frames. The dialogue stings, the French countryside looks beautiful, the opening titles are cool and the music's by Henry Mancini. It's one of Hepburn's most adult roles, and one of her best performances.
