Storyline

Three stories about the lives and loves of those who own a certain yellow Rolls-Royce: **First purchased by the Marquess of Frinton for his wife as a belated anniversary present, the Marchiness finds her own use for the vehicle - one which prompts her husband to sell the car in disgust. **Gangster Paolo Maltese's moll, Mae, thinks the Rolls is a "classy" car in which to tour Paolo's home town in Italy. When Paolo is called away to the States to finish some "business", a bored Mae takes the Rolls on a spin through the country, enjoying both the sights and the handsome Italian photographer who crosses her path. **By the outbreak of World War II, the car has come into the possession of socialite Gerda Millet. While on her way to visit Yugoslavian royalty, Gerda and the Rolls become (at first) unwitting and then (eventually) most willing participants in the Yugoslavian fight.

Decent film divided into three stories
28 May 1999 | by (Endicott, NY) – See all my reviews

I found this film fairly enjoyable. The film involves three stories with completely different casts with the rolls-royce linking the three. The second and third were much more entertaining, as the first story was portrayed rather lifelessly by its cast. I was amazed at how much humor Bergman was able to inject into such a serious situation in the final portion of the movie. Although she did show an ability for comedy over her career, this is something she seems to be rarely given credit for.
