Trivia

Average Shot Length = ~4.5 seconds. Median Shot Length = ~4.4 seconds. Both values are quite fast, and demonstrate the experimentation with faster cutting rates during the mid to late 1960s. For example, even a noted fast cutter like Sam Peckinpah would take until 1969 to produce a film (_Wild Bunch,The (1969)_) that is cut faster than _Two For The Road (1967)_. See more »

Sixties Gem
30 April 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

In 1967, Audrey Hepburn had gotten into the "swing" of things by being with Peter O'Toole in "How to steal a million" and did not want to go back to being in flops like "paris when it sizzles" or wearing the same old Givenchy clothes. In this film you see a change in her, a new haircut, clothes from the grooviest designers of Mod London and elsewhere like Mary Quant and Paco Rabanne, you see her eat! eating casually bread, grapes;making funny noises,etc. you actually see her having fun in this picture.She plays Joanna Wallace who with her husband played beautifully by Albert Finney reflect on the good times and the bad times of their twelve-year marriage.This film is must see because it goes beyond the happy ending and into actually imitating life where marriage is not always perfect. where marriage has fights and arguments and sometimes infidelity and hurt but love usually conquers all.must see.
