I saw this movie on the TCM recently and enjoyed it, having never seen it before. The film was released in the U.S. only on laser disk. (It is not available in stores on tape or DVD). It was released in Canada on video tape or DVD in both English and French. Recently U.S. compatible video tapes and DVD copies have appeared on eBay. (Search on "The Yellow Rolls-Royce.") Alternately the movie is shown on the TCM channel (Turner Classic Movies - which currently owns the film). To see their schedule go to the TCM website and search on the movie title. If it is not on their near term schedule - message will say the title could not be found. When it is in the schedule you will be given the date and time. (Eastern.)
Synopsis:
In 1965 MGM released a film entitled "The Yellow Rolls-Royce" in. It was unusual that an automobile was the star. The story follows a 1931 Phantom II (9JS) while it was in the hands of three different owners in the 1930s. The first owner, Rex Harrison, purchases the car new as an anniversary gift for his wife, Jeanne Moreau. Rex returned it to the dealership a few days later after discovering his wife and his assistant (Edmond Perdom) behaving badly in the rear seat with all five shades drawn.
In the second segment, the car is on a showroom floor in Italy when it is discovered by Shirley MacLaine. She persuades her boyfriend, George C. Scott, to buy it and they begin a tour of Italy with Art Carney as chauffeur. Shirley subsequently meets an itinerant photographer, Alain Delon) and when George returns to the U.S. on Mafia business, Shirley and Alain swim in the grotto (Amalfi Coast) and then retire to the rear seat of the Yellow Rolls-Royce and draw all the shades.
The car is next purchased by a wealthy American, Ingrid Bergman, who wanted a proper car for her visit to Yugoslavia to see the prince. She is persuaded by a Yugoslavian partisan, Omar Sharif, to get him across the border, hidden in the boot. Ingrid spends some time transporting soldiers for Omar and, inevitably, is bedded down by him and completely forgets about the prince.
Directions:
Driving westbound on I-20 in Alabama, at mile marker 38, exit to the rest area. Park in the passenger car area and take the sidewalk right to its end. Cross the road at the RV dump station, turn left and go to the sign with the RV and Boat symbols. Go right downhill into the woods to a multi-trunk tree next to a pine tree. The box is off the ground a couple of feet, wedged between the trunks of the tree.
