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.

Summary: Two for the Road
Comment: I am so sad. I cannot play this CD unfortunately. I get a message "check your area code" that's all. I would very much appreciate what is wrong with this CD and/or what I could do to be able to play it.

Summary: One of my 3 all-time favorite movies!
Comment: 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.

Summary: A trip worth taking
Comment: 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, not-in-the-opening-credits Jacqueline Bisset.) It's a rocky road to love, but it's a great trip in their cars. Not to be missed!

Summary: I Cried at the ending!
Comment: 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 feeling and taught me that even though love is tough and it is possible that one day you and your partner are no longer interested in each other, it is the most wonderful gift to have love and be loved once in your life.
The ending is somewhat on the positive side. Making me cry so much when she say I'm back, I'm back, Mark.
The story is quite confusing at first because of so many intertwine story about their stages of relationship; however, it is easily recognize and differentiate with Audrey's hair and clothing style.
Great Movie. Love the story and ending. A+

Summary: Both style & substance
Comment: 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 ... but in a good way, as it embodies all the energy & vivid sense of life from that decade. And its somewhat golden, romantic glow is really timeless, since memories of the first days of love are so idealized & wondrous.
The cross-cutting between years is especially effective here, reinforcing the sense of memories under review, one leading to another in no particular order. The repetition of certain scenes & lines of dialogue, with VERY different emotional tones over the years, conveys the changes in this marriage succinctly & sharply.
And then there's the look of it! Audrey Hepburn & Albert Finney are both stunningly attractive, radiating beauty & sexuality with all the fire of the French sun above their heads. It's particularly good to see Hepburn playing a grown woman in all of her complexity -- while there was never a screen gamine to match hers, she was capable of so much more, and proves it here. Plus, she wears stylish clothes like a dream!
Some reviewers have complained about Albert Finney's portrayal of Mark -- self-centered, even brutal in his drive & confidence, so absolutely sure of his handsome irresistibility. But I think those are some of the qualities that attracted Joanna in the first place. She wanted someone to match her ... because of course she's just as aware of her own considerable qualities.
Does this make them shallow, self-absorbed? I don't think so. For any couple in love, especially in the prime of youth, there's really nobody else in the world -- certainly nobody else to match themselves. But as time goes by & a little more reality sets in, we see how they struggle & often stumble, trying to adjust to so many changes. Life has a way of overtaking the first blaze of romance, and not every marriage survives it.
And that's the question, after all. Can marriage survive the inevitabilities of growing up? "Two for the Road" explores that question in a meandering but surprisingly in-depth fashion. Along the way it provides us with a remarkable portrait of a couple, an era, and a classic style of filmmaking. The highly informative & entertaining commentary track by director Stanley Donen only adds to the pleasures of this film. Enthusiastically recommended!
