The Yellow Rolls Royce - 1964 * * * *


It all happens in the Yellow Rolls Royce.
Terence Rattigan struck lucky with the idea for this 60s drama ( which I admit I had never heard of!) about 3 seperate groups of people who at one time or another come into contact with the main star of the film - The Yellow Rolls Royce! It really is a beauty,being bought for Rex Harrison's wife in the first segment, being used by Shirley Maclaine as a compromise when her gangster boyfriend has to leave her in the second and being driven into dangerous quarters by Ingrid Bergman in the 3rd. Each plot is well thought out but not long enough to drag, in fact making you want more. The highlights for me are Rex Harrison ( whom I adore in everything) and Ingrid Bergman who is still stunning 20 years on from Casablanca.
A lovely movie that is very underrated, worth a watch.
