Two for the Road (film)


Two for the Road is a 1967 British comedy drama De Luxe color film in Panavision directed by Stanley Donen and starring Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn. Written by Frederic Raphael, the film is about a husband and wife who examine their twelveyear relationship while on a road trip to Southern France. The film was considered somewhat experimental for its time because the story is told in a nonlinear fashion, with scenes from the latter stages of the relationship juxtaposed with those from its beginning, often leaving the viewer to interpolate what has intervened, which is sometimes revealed in later scenes. Several locations are used in different segments to show continuity throughout the twelveyear period.

Now a successful and wealthy architect, Mark Wallace Albert Finney and his wife Joanna Jo Wallace Audrey Hepburn fly their white 1965 Mercedes 230SL roadster to Northern France in order to drive to SaintTropez to celebrate the completion of a building project for a client, Maurice. Tensions between the couple are evident, and as they journey south they both remember and discuss several past journeys along the same road.The earliest memory is their first meeting on a ferry crossing in 1954, when Mark was travelling alone and Joanna was part of a girls choir. They meet again when Joannas choir bus goes off the road and Mark helps get them back on the road. When the other girls get chickenpox, Joanna and Mark unexpectedly wind up hitchhiking south together. ........
