(Blu-ray, Twilight Time)
Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney are an unhappy couple traveling by car through France. In flashbacks, they recall their happier times together and we learn how they met. In another flashback, they travel with an annoying American couple and their even more annoying spoiled child. Back the present, they both have affairs, hers is more serious than his, but manage to stay together. A rather unpleasant story of a self-absorbed couple, told in a non-linear fashion, which really adds nothing to the story except confusion. It does however, give Audrey a reason to model fashion trends.
