| Overrated sixties filmThe cast is impeccable but the story is pretty woeful and slow moving.The only real reason to recommend this film is for the unforgettable soundtrack.
Best Performance By An Automobile In A Starring RoleFew films embody the 60's trend in Hollywood for International Productions that could play in any European Market as well as the good old USofA more than this movie. It is an enchanting concept. The longevity and varied changing ownership of a hand tooled masterpiece of classic automotive technology. Oh....and the star power isn't too bad either. The cast has been mentioned by others. But the Rolls holds its own against the biggest of them and comes out the true central character it was meant to be. Quite an accomplishment with no dialogue. There is quite a bit of interaction with the actors themselves, yet the car never lets itself be upstaged. A finely tuned performance all the way. Today's cars should enroll in the Yellow Rolls Royce's acting class about class acting through every social strata in a feature film. I shall never understand why the Academy wasn't driven to nominate it that year.
You really can't go wrong being the next owner of The Yellow Rolls Royce.
The Yellow Rolls RoyceThis is one of those enjoyable movies about the history revolving around something. In this case a classic yellow Rolls Royce touring car. Back in 1965 when this movie was made it wasn't unusual to have all star casts for big production movies. This certainly has an excellent cast with George C. Scott, Shirley McClaine, Ingrid Bergman, Rex Harrison, Omar Shariff, and other notables. It is good to see the stars in this one and the story is pretty decent as well. This is a family movie that most will enjoy. It involves the life stories of three different owners of the car from when it was new to when it is dated. The car although just an automobile they owned intertwines with their lifes and you will feel if it could talk it would have quite a story to tell. I can't tell the quality of the DVD yet but I will post it as soon as I receive mine. If you enjoyed "The Red Violin" you will probably enjoy this movie.

FIVE-STAR GEM FINALLY ON DVD!At last, this superb film is on dvd. The three separate stories, linked by ownership of the titled Rolls Royce, star the most incredible cast, with standout performances by Rex Harrison as the husband deceived by a delicious Jeanne Moreau, mobster George C Scott and his bored floozie Shirley MacLaine who dallies with Alain Delon, and the final segment with Ingrid Bergman and Omar Sharif, where the Rolls is used for an unexpected purpose. The music and cinematography add to the magic of this film, which should not be missed.
