The Yellow Rolls-Royce Trailers

One Rolls-Royce belongs to three vastly different owners, starting with Lord Charles, who buys the car for his wife as an anniversary present. The next owner is Paolo Maltese, a mafioso who purchases the car during a trip to Italy and leaves it with his girlfriend while he returns to Chicago. Finally, the car is owned by American widow Gerda, who joins the Yugoslavian resistance against the invading Nazis.

Reviews
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Bob Pr. I wouldn't like other movies to be like this but this was interesting as a one-off. Four different couples are involved in the serial (progressive) ownership or use of a yellow Rolls so there are 4 different stories to begin, develop, and finish within the movie's length, giving each about a half hour. A number of famous actresses and actors play the roles.
brefane Despite the international star cast and opulent production the Yellow Rolls Royce is a poor vehicle that doesn't really go anywhere. The stellar cast can't camouflage the the fact that the film is as hollow as a tailpipe. The segment featuring Art Carney and Shirley Maclaine along with a miscast George C. Scott and Alain Delon both of whom wear distracting man-tan make up, comprises 1/3 of the film's running time yet, seems interminable. The Yellow Rolls Royce is too flat to even qualify as fluff. At best, it's a long commercial for Rolls Royce. The close-up of Jeanne Moreau's face when she's caught cheating by husband Rex Harrison in the back of the Rolls is the only memorable moment in the film.
The_Rook This is a slow moving but entertaining movie. The three stories are romantic and charming. The cast is outstanding. Ingrid Bergman, Omar Shariff, George C. Scott, Art Carney, and Shirley McLaine to mention a few. Chances are of you enjoy movies from the 1960s you may like it. This type of movie was common then, but many have not fared well in getting to video. This has never been a hit but always enjoyed by many. Unfortunately it is not available on DVD or even VHS. If you have seen it and enjoyed it you may want to see "The Red Violin" with Samuel Jackson. Several stories that tie together with a red violin. The only common thread in "The Yellow Rolls-Royce" is the car. One of those if such-and-such could talk stories. It has been years since I have seen it telecast on TV. Good luck trying to see it.
tripledeepmom Talk about movies with an all-star cast! This is one of the best comprising the best; Rex Harrison, Shirley Maclaine, George C. Scott, Ingrid Bergman, Omar Shariff and the list goes on. What more can you ask to keep your heart from beating a mile a minute while Rex who is so happy and in love with his unfaithful wife catches her in the act with his confidant inside the yellow rolls royce. The 2nd segment of the film is the one that cannot make you stop laughing from start to finish. George (Al Capone's cohort) leaves his trusted henchman in Italy to babysit for his "fidenzata" (his engaged soon to be married) Shirley. She's escorted around Italy by henchman Art Carney who takes a backseat to a handsome Gigolo who falls madly for her and seduces her in the yellow rolls. Shirley comes to her senses and Gigolo learns who her "fidenzato" and his accomplice Art Carney is. After trying to lure her away from going back to America, she makes the decision to marry George (Paulo) and stay alive as Paolo has come back to Italy to resume his romantic pursuits. In the 3rd and final film, the car now is shipped to war torn Germany, where partisans need the car to take food, equipment and men fighting to stay alive and free in Yugoslavia. The Partisan Omar Shariff will use and deceive Ingrid to his advantage and for freedom, but finding her to be vulnerable and very rich, he now befriends her while she partakes to help in the war effort to help his family and comrades in the mountainous countryside, where she in turn falls deeply in love with him and he with her having found quiet solitude and love within the confines of the yellow rolls royce. I love this movie and so wish that it were available on DVD or video cassette. I have been unable to locate it, but each time it appears on AMC, I don't miss it if I can help it. I'd watch it again and again. It's GREAT!
