If you think It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World could be made even better by the inclusion of a poignant love interest, I would recommend Two for the Road. I strongly disliked this movie for numerous reasons including Albert Finney’s monotonously caustic and inappropriate delivery and the heavy-handed use of automobiles to organize flashbacks.
Audrey Hepburn is a whole thing, isn’t she? I loved watching her as a child and I find it hard to believe that any reasonably normal child wouldn’t. But it’s a bit like childhood adoration of Scooby-Doo. At some point you either do or do not step back, and that potential stepping back might lead to a substantial change in assessment, or in the absence of such an assessment, to a life happily spent as a barrel-shaped old person waddling along in a Scooby-Doo sweatshirt.
