Two for the Road

Two for the Road (1967) starring Audrey Hepburn, Albert Finney. Hepburn and Finney play a married couple who are taking a road trip through Europe as part of the process of deciding whether they want to stay married or not. The movie jumps back and forth in time, showing their relationship in different stages, both before and after their marriage, and after the birth of their daughter. In every case, they are on a road trip -- hitchhiking when they are young and poor, driving various vehicles when they are older and better off. It's a pretty entertaining film, although I didn't find the chemistry between the two stars very convincing. Hepburn was almost 40 when the movie was made, and can't really pass as much younger. Finney was several years younger, and looks it. As films go, it's not a bad way to pass an evening. The European flavor of the locales appealed to me.
