An exquisite film about the complexities of love and marriage and all
that in brings, Two for the Road also boasts the best film of Audrey
Hepburn's brilliant career -- and certainly the best of Stanley Donen's.
Even by todays standards, the film hold its own and surpasses the
superficial garbage Hollywood cranks out on a daily basis. Maybe Matthew
MacConnaughey, Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts,
Ashton Kucher, Brittney Murphy, Nia Vardolos, John Corbett, and all the
directors that try this genre... Adam Shankman, in particular should be
tied to a chair and forced to watch this film. But, maybe, that's a bad
idea because from what they turn out, they wouldn't get it anyway.
They'd probably find it too dated.
This film has more soul in one frame than anything these artists will
churn out in their lifetimes. Hopefully 20th Century Fox will release
this on DVD for the world to see and experience with the wonder of
digital restoration and stereo sound. The score by Henry Mancini is one
of his best. For the true romantics, this film is a must. ......
