A MUST SEE TWO FOR THE ROAD

TWO FOR THE ROAD ****

Its weird how I even herd about this movie. In was 1991. I read in the USA TODAY bout a man who payed $300 for a USED out of print VHS of this movie "Two For the Road". I never herd of this movie. But a week before I even read the story I bought a Laserdisc player.






Now about a week later I am at the Laserdisc Store when I came across the movie. It was $60. (Laserdisc were always high). I thought well if the VHS is out of print then this might go out of print as well. So I bought it. To my amazement the movie was in the WIDESCREEN FORMAT.




When I put the movie on I was captivated. The movie was very moving. Its the story of married couple who are on a road trip. Through flashbacks we see the couple have been on this road before in happier times. In the present they are very unhappily married. In the pass we see how they met and how at one time they were very much in love.







Audrey Hepburn made headlines when she made this movie because it was one of the first times the word "Bastard" was used. Albert Finney plays her husband. He is very good! If your local DVD store doesn't have this then buy it! You can now buy it on DVD for about $10. Even if you had pay $60 it would be worth it. If you had to pay $300 it would still be worth it.







By the way The LAserdisc did go out of print and I ended up selling it on e-bay for $110. When the DVD was released I bought it. This movie to me is 4****. Hollywood Do not remake it!
