Two for the Road (1967)

Fulfilling my promise to my dad, I made sure that the next film we saw in a theater didn't involve superheroes. Indeed, there's very little action at all. OK, it wasn't my idea: He noticed that this was showing at AFI and suggested it. The main draw for both of us? Lovely Audrey Hepburn.

The first spoken lines are from Joanna (Hepburn) and Mark (Albert Finney) respectively: "They don't look very happy." "Why should they be? They just got married." After that, we're treated to a series of flashbacks, including how Joanna and Mark first met, their parenthood of a young girl, and (sigh) their mutual adultery. Most of the memories pertain to travels in Europe, primarily France and then Italy.
