Joanna and Price first atrocious paths as students traveling across Europe. They wind up hitchhiking together and eventually falling in adore.
The fable is told through flashbacks. We follow the couple from their early carefree infatuation through marriage, parenthood, boredom, infidelity, and finally renewal of their relationship.
Along the arrangement, there are some memorable vignettes provocative Joanna and Price vacationing with another couple Howard and Cathy Manchester (amusingly played by William Daniels and Eleanor Bron) and their daughter Ruthie Manchester. Howard and Cathy must be the most wittily neurotic twosome in movies and their daughter Ruthie is probably the most wicked child in movie history.

The performances are uniformly helpful. The direction by Stanley Donen is stylish and sophisticated. Frederic Raphael’s screenplay is alternately romantic and cynical. And Henry Mancini’s exquisitely shapely catch is one of this attractive composer’s very best. “Two For the Road” is an grand pleasure.
I fell in treasure with this movie at age 14, when it played for several months at the Plaza Theatre in NYC, where I saw it no less than three times. Although, at that age, I was a runt confused by the film’s structure, in which scenes from four different stages of the marriage of Notice and Joanna, the main characters, are juxtaposed, I did understand and devour the film’s basic theme, that passionate worship is enduring and, seemingly irrationally, can survive even the boredom that is inevitable in a long relationship. The energy and intelligence of Finney and Hepburn give this quirky miniature film an added vitality and render the relationship of Effect and Joanna believable and even endearing. This may be a serio-comedic film, but like serio-comedic life, it is infused with joy. I loved it in 1964,and I care for it now. Everyone who is a limited quirky should occupy it, because it captures the essence of something special and a miniature off-center — whatever it is that keeps Ticket and Joanna together — that will never be outdated.
