Two for the Road

Director Stanley Donen's third collaboration with Audrey Hepburn exploring a couple's relationship over the years. A couple's relationship is explored on the road at three crucial times when they fall in love, having their first child and marital problems that could mark the end. Donen's non-linear approach based on the script by Frederic Raphael works well to tell a universal story that will resonate with many thanks to the flawless performances by the ravishing Hepburn and dashing Albert Finney who capture love and marriage in all of its splendor and agony. The film is also a great time capsule of the late 60's with one of its icons. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
