MovieMail's Review
Polished, sophisticated, boasting an impressive cast, and with opulent period detail and sweeping romances, this is one of the best of the all-star anthologies so loved in the 1960s.
The titular Roller is purchased by a Lord (Rex Harrison), as a belated anniversary gift for his wife (Jeanne Moreau). But such gifts are not enough to cement his marriage and the vehicle is pressed into service as a location for illicit assignations. It next appears in Italy, where it is used to chauffeur visiting American MacLaine; a local gigolo (Alain Delon) attempts a romance, unaware of her fiancé’s career in organised crime.
Finally, the car motors into Yugoslavia at the start of WWII, with millionaire socialite Bergman in the passenger seat. At first the war is a distraction but she is drawn to the partisans and soon she is aiding their struggle. It’s tempting to compare the film itself to a Rolls-Royce: superbly put together by master craftsmen (it was written by Terence Rattigan), transporting us in the utmost comfort.
Three stories about the lives and loves of those who own a certain yellow Rolls-Royce. Directed by Anthony Asquith, scripted by Terence Rattigan and with an all-star cast, this is a delightful tale of the travels and travails of this magical automobile and the strange part it plays in history and the lives of the main characters.
Originally purchased by The Marquis of Frinton (Rex Harrison) for Lady Frinton (Jeanne Moreau) on the eve of Ascot races, after the Marquess is cuckolded the charm of the vehicle is lost on him and he returns the car. The next story concerns gangster Paolo Maltese (George C. Scott) and his moll (Shirley MacLaine) following a series of romantic dalliances. Finally, the car ends up in Trieste with socialite Gerda Millett (Ingrid Bergman) who uses it to ferry troops in company with Davich (Omar Sharif) to the front.
