Fun old movieThis is a fun old movie to watch. The car was a an old classic.
A delightful classicThis movie has reminded me of how movies used to be made. The actors are all in top form, the stories entertaining, the idea very much like one of my favorite novels, "The Last Convertible," the transfer quite clear, and was a delight to watch. Pure, clean, simple entertainment.
As imperfect as a yellow Rolls-RoyceA Rolls Royce motor car is a wonderful and well crafted machine. It is also, highly reliable.
This movie is original and contains excellent actors who perform well. However, it just hasn't the 'class' one might be justified in expecting. Sadly the storyline moves too greatly from incident to incident - and, as such, unbelievably. It is, as I intimated in the title of this review, similar to a yellow Rolls Royce - not really acceptable! One's imagination can be stretched - but NOT as far as this movie asks of the viewers.
Classic movieThis is an excellent movie about a classic car that changes hands through the years. It's interesting to see the different stories which evolve around the different owners. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
YELLOW ROLLS ROYCEIN JAUNARY I GOT THE DVD OF THE YELLOW ROLLS ROYCE AND IT WAS JUST A GREAT AS IT WAS WHEN I SAW IT AT THE STUART THREATRE IN LINCOLN NE IN THE 60'S. IT WAS LONG OVER DUE AND I AM GLAD THAT IS IT OUT NOW FOR ALL TO HAVE. ALL THREE STORIES ARE JUST AS GREAT AS THEY WERE MANY YEARS AND AGO AND THE DVD TRANFER IS SUPERB. I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE. A GREAT FILM
DescriptionThe adventures of a Rolls-Royce roll across Europe in this far-flung comedy.

Amazon.comThey don't make 'em like this anymore. This sleek, smooth-running anthology film by the writer and director of The V.I.P.s is another extravagant vehicle for a dazzling international roster of stars, whose characters' lives are profoundly changed by the titular luxury automobile. Rex Harrison gets the show on the road as an English lord who purchases the car as an anniversary gift for his wife (Jeanne Moreau), who is having an affair with a younger member of his staff. "Twenty thousand and twenty-three miles later" in Italy, American gangster George C. Scott buys the car for wisecracking "fidanzata" Shirley MacLaine, who becomes involved with amoral tourist photographer Alain Delon while George is away on family business. Ingrid Bergman takes the wheel in the third story as an imperious American widow who becomes involved in Yugoslavia's fight against the Nazis when she is forced to smuggle patriot Omar Shariff across the border. The Yellow Rolls Royce deftly handles the twists and turns of melodrama, comedy and adventure, and this widescreen presentation does full justice to the gorgeous scenery. As one admirer of the car observes, it's kind of old fashioned, but it's got class. Fans of the handsome cast members will want to go along for the ride. --Donald Liebenson
