just watched two for the road again this weekend - from 1967, starring audrey hepburn and albert finney, directed by stanley donen, soundtrack by henry mancini. a crew doesn't get much better than that. it's an old favorite of mine... if you haven't seen it, it is made up of flashbacks to happier times in their now-deteriorating marriage. albert finney plays a beast of a husband but still manages plenty of raffish charm, and audrey's mary quant and paco rabanne clothing is spectacular, as always - check out those sunglasses above! the two are constantly roadtripping around europe, hitting san tropez and the french countryside, with lively banter and plenty of fights in between. they also drive some spectacular old cars when they aren't hitchhiking - an MG-TD, a triumph herald, and a fabulous mercedes 230 SL. wouldn't it be great to rent an old european car, and recreate this (minus the fights)? if this movie isn't destination inspiration, i don't know what is!
Wow, this movie was great to watch, the first time that I have ever viewed this movie was about several years ago....it was very captivating. I adore Audrey Hepburn and all of her movies that I've seen....though I know I haven't seen them all. Also, I love the way it was filmed and like you said her clothes, accessories and the cars were just so chic!
