Finney and Hepburn are TWO FOR THE ROAD January 30th at The Hi-Pointe
TWO FOR THE ROAD screens at 10:30am Saturday morning, January 30th at The Hi-Pointe Theater (1005 McCausland Ave., St. Louis, MO 63117). Admission is $10 and this is a fundraiser sponsored by the St. Louis Metropolitan Medical Society Alliance.
Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn star in director Stanley Donen’s TWO FOR THE ROAD, which uses multiple parallel flashbacks to chronicle a couples’ 12-year marriage. The marriage in the present is falling apart as their love for one another dissolves. As they drive through the back roads of France they relive two other times in their lives when the same trip was made under much better circumstances. The cinematic trick of jumping from one road trip to the other is expertly handled. Hepburn and Finney are both terrific in the film. And the movie, released in 1967, captures the mood of the 60s before Nam, the Counterculture, and radical politics so altered the landscape. This 60s is a time of youth and hope and redemption and TWO FOR THE ROAD is an unforgettable film.
Doors open at 10am and there will be a silent auction. Admission is $10. Sponsored by the St. Louis Metropolitan Medical Society Alliance to benefit the Medical Scholars of 5 Missouri Medical schools and Voices of Excellence at Layola Academy in St. Louis
The Hi-Pointe is located at 1005 McCausland Ave., St. Louis, MO 63117. Their website can be found HERE
