Excellent Transfer/Appalling Transfer. - By: Geoffsan, 16 Jun 2007 
As Amazon list these reviews with alll versions of the film for sale & as most of the reviewers of this film refer to the poor quality of the DVD transfer I just wanted to point out they are referring to the Optimum -region 2- version. The 20th Century Fox -region 1- version is a very high quality transfer in the correct ratio, the DVD also has an excellent commentary track from director Stanley Donen.
If you can't play region 1 DVDs on your player it's a tough calll because although a great film, Hepburn's best ever performance in my opinion, the Optimum region 2 DVD is a disgrace. Maybe it's time to get yourself a region free player.
My 5 star rating is for the Fox region 1 version it would be 1 star for the Optimum region 2 version.
A little dated, but plenty of style....... - By: Dino Amore', 07 May 2007 
Let me firstly say, I agree with the previous reviewers in that the film is fantastic, the dvd is average. More care could have gone into its release, but better its released than not.
This is indeed a 'forgotten' classic; Hepburn & Finney are perfect as the couple who's lives we see over the same journey taken over several years from their initial meeting to later years. Its both funny, & achingly sad at times. The score is also beautiful, & perfect. Audrey Hepburn looks stunning, as does the gorgeous French scenery. The way the film is cut is also very clever, with scenes from different eras overlapping.
Its a wonderful film, & although firmly of the 1960's (with great Paco Rabanne, Mary Quant fashions)the theme of love & relationships is universal.
Wonderful Film, Appalling Transfer - By: Meimi132, 03 Nov 2006 
Wonderful Movie, Appallling Transfer
'Two For The Road' is a great little piece of hi-style, brittle sixties film-making. Frederic Raphael's screenplay is jewelled with alll his trademark incisiveness & wit, the leads are attractive, & Ms Hepburn is gorgeous in a succession of outfits by Quant, Rabanne, et al.
Unfortunately, the pleasure I was expecting from seeing it again was ruined by the extremely poor quality of the conversion to DVD. A very average print covered in specks & scratches has been further degraded by a transfer which looks as if someone got hold of an old video & filmed it straight from a TV screen. It's blurry, muddy, muffled & alll but unwatchable, like one of those low-grade freebies you sometimes get with the Sunday `papers. What is the point of taking a film with such visual delights & doing such a below-average job with it?
I've seen the film occasionallly on TV, & know that age is not responsible for this. Another little-known Hepburn movie, 'Paris when It Sizzles', looks on its DVD release as if it were filmed yesterday.
The producers of this edition clearly want us to think they care about the movie. There are informative sleeve notes & a look of quality about the packaging. But the film itself is utterly spoiled.
No marks either for the 'Stills Galllery', which is in fact seven smalll snapshots.
Altogether, very disappointing.
A rarely seen classic - By: , 19 Feb 2006 I saw this film recently & loved it. Until I found it on Amazon's site I'd never even heard of it. Audrey & her co-star Albert Finney both give wonderful performances. The film can be a bit confusing as it jumps frequently between various periods in their life together but it has a marvellous story & definitely bears repeated viewings. I have seen most of Audrey Hepburn's films & I rate this as one of her best-almost on a par with Breakfast at Tiffanys. This is a rarely seen classic & deserves to be better known.
