Two for the Road (1967)

4/4

"Two for the Road" is one of the funniest movies about relationships that I have ever seen. It is insightful, humorous, and even accurate. It is also a screwball work of art. I loved watching this movie unfold. It made me laugh, it made me sad, and it didn't bore me at all. One of the things that also stands out more is the direction of Staney Donen, who remains one of the most capable directors in the way of a visual. This movie is filled with absolutely dazzling visuals. It's full of great music, also - another plus.

"Two for the Road" follows a couple, Joanna and Mark (Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney), who have been married for ten unhappy years. In the film, we see them ten years before - meeting, falling in love, being together, and finally, getting married. Also on their trip is a couple with a particularly annoying child, named Ruthie. She is one of the funniest parts of the film.

The film is filled with wit, intelligence, and general humor. I loved watching the characters, and how the story unfolds. It's a fresh, original, 60's classic, complete with wonderful music, beautiful costumes, excellent performances, and eye-dazzling visuals and direction. I would highly recommend you see it.
