tavm Review of The Yellow Rolls-Royce

The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1964)

The Yellow Rolls-Royce was an enjoyable all-star movie with three segments

[7/10 · 8 November 2015]

After Omar Sharif died a few months ago, I had a jones to see one of his movies and when I looked his name up on Netflix, I decided on this one for the DVD rental. It had three segments-all involving the title vehicle. First one starred Rex Harrison and Jeanne Moreau as a British married couple who rarely saw each other though this particular day was supposed to solve all that. I'll just say one of them is revealed to be a cheater and leave it at that. Second one stars George C. Scott, Art Carney, Shirley MacLaine, and Alain Delon. Shirley's a moll of gangster Scott who temporarily leaves Italy to do some "business" in America leaving her to find her own fun with either Carney or Delon. Third segment has Sharif and Ingrid Bergman encountering each other at the outbreak of World War II. I'll stop there and just say that the first segment was okay for its short length, the second was pretty amusing when MacLaine was being ignorant of culture before growing up a bit. Pretty touching the way it ended if also sad. The last one was the most fun for me especially when Ms. Bergman was driving the title vehicle! Mom and I managed to very much enjoy this movie as it kept going on. So on that note, The Yellow Rolls-Royce is worth a look.
