Two for the Road (1967 film)

Article

Two for the Road is a 1967 movie directed by Stanley Donen about the twelve-year relationship between an architect (Albert Finney) and his wife (Audrey Hepburn). The movie was considered somewhat experimental for its time because the story is told in a non-linear fashion, with scenes from the latter stages of the relationship juxtaposed with those from its beginning, often leaving the viewer to extrapolate what has intervened, which is sometimes revealed in later scenes. The screenplay, written by Frederic Raphael, was nominated for an Academy Award.

The film's theme song, Two for the Road, was composed by Henry Mancini, with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. (The lyrics are not heard in the film.) Mancini, who composed many famous theme songs for films, including Moon River for Breakfast at Tiffany's, considered Two for the Road his favorite song.

« What kind of people just sit in a restaurant and don't say one word to each other ? Married people » or « They don't look very happy. Why should they ? They just got married » are sentences that we can hear in the movie directed by Stanley Donen that dates back to 1967, « Two for the Road ». It features Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney as husband and wife and is a reflection about marriage and its ephemeral side, about the decline of passion.
