Description:
On their third identical voyage from London to the Riviera, Joanna Wallace (Audrey Hepburn) and husband Mark (Albert Finney) explore their 12-year marriage in a series of wry and illuminating flashbacks. They reminisce about the glorious beginning of their love affair, the early years of marriage and the events that led to their subsequent infidelities. As they try to understand their relationship, they must accept how they have changed if they are to rekindle their original love.
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - One of my 3 all-time favorite movies!
Q: "What kind of people don't talk while they're eating?" A: "Married people." And other memorable quotable lines. Charming people I cared about even when one or the other was behaving like a jerk. And the Mancini music unites all the scenes throughout the years.
Rating: - A trip worth taking
Such a classic -- the Simpsons honored it with a parody (11/9/2008's "Dangerous Curves")! Hepburn was never lovelier, and Finney was a fine figure of a man in this vignette-filled study of a romance/marriage. Set in Europe, using the device of various road-trips, "Two.." shows the ups, downs, and déja-vus of a 10-year relationship. Sure, some of it seems dated, but its heart rings true. (Don't miss the wacky couple Eleanor Bron/William Daniels as "ugly Americans," or the early scene with the young, ... Read More
Rating: - I Cried at the ending!
My god this movie is so touching and romantic. It is perhaps the only movie that I cried since Titanic. The best performance from Audrey Hepburn and my most favorite movie after Sabrina and My Fair Lady.
I was surprise when watching this movie because it is not the typical Audrey Hepburn movie (you know what I mean). And I seriously think it is hilarious when Audrey actually cussed in the movie- twice! haha. Not at all R-rated but hella funny.
Nevertheless, the movie leaves me bittersweet ... Read More
Rating: - Both style & substance
As a callow teenager, I didn't think much of this film. Now older & married, I appreciate it more & more each time I see it, discovering something new & insightful with each new viewing. Mark & Joanna seem like old friends to me now.
It's a fascinating piece of work, an intersection between the classic era of Hollywood filmmaking (then drawing to an end) & the fresh, experimental techniques of the 1960s. Does this make it a period piece? Well, it's certainly of its time ... Read More
Rating:  - Time changes everything
This is a movie that has suffered the onslaught of time. I believe it was probably seen as avant garde when it came out but now it feels dated.
The performances are fine but the actual story has lost a lot of its bite because of changing moral values. Maybe this was one of the movies that ushered the change?
