The Yellow Rolls-Royce

The Yellow Rolls-Royce

The Yellow Rolls-Royce is a 1965 dramatic composite film written by Terence Rattigan, produced by Anatole de Grunwald and directed by Anthony Asquith, the trio responsible for The V.I.P.s (1963). Apparently adapting an idea from In Those Days, a 1947 German drama by Helmut Käutner that had its US premiere in March 1951, The Yellow Rolls-Royce uses a yellow 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II to frame the story of three very different owners: an English aristocrat, a Miami gangster and a wealthy American widow. It is set in the years up to and including the start of World War II. Prompted by the production team's success with The V.I.P.s, the film boasts a similar all-star cast, including Rex Harrison, Ingrid Bergman, Shirley MacLaine, Omar Sharif, George C. Scott, Isa Miranda, Alain Delon and Jeanne Moreau. The soundtrack song "Forget Domani" by Riz Ortolani won Best Original Song at the 23rd Golden Globe Awards. Another tune, "Mae", for the Scott-MacLaine-Delon section of the film, was also released in several versions.

Albanian Ambassador:
My lord! The crisis grows more grave by the hour.

The Marquess of Frinton:
Then I suggest, Mr. Ambassador, that we sleep on it. Crises always manage to look better in the morning.

Mae Jenkins:
[Looking indifferently at the leaning tower of Pisa] So it leans. So a lot of things lean.

Paolo Maltese:
[Turning to Mae] You ever heard of Galileo, maybe?

Mae Jenkins:
Sure I have heard of Galileo.

Paolo Maltese:
[Turning to Joey] She ever heard of Galileo?

Joey Friedlander:
Nah...

Paolo Maltese:
Five-six hundred years ago, this Galileo dropped two stones off that tower, one big one, and one little one.

Mae Jenkins:
So?

Paolo Maltese:
So he proved the law of gravity or somethin'. I don't know.

Mae Jenkins:
And brained a couple of citizens, maybe. Big deal.

Paolo Maltese:
[Pointing at the Cathedral of Pisa with pride] Look at it.

Mae Jenkins:
What is it?

Paolo Maltese:
The Cathedral. That is the most beautiful and the most famous cathedral in the whole world.

Mae Jenkins:
Yeah, it's got too many pillars.

Paolo Maltese:
Too many pillars...

Mae Jenkins:
Yeah.

Paolo Maltese:
Listen to me. That is the most beautiful and the most famous cathedral in the whole WORLD.

Mae Jenkins:
It's got too many pillars!

Paolo Maltese:
It was built in 1050!

Mae Jenkins:
Yeah, so in 1050 they put in too many pillars!

Paolo Maltese:
[Turning toward the Baptistery] This over here is the Baptistery. From all over the world...

Mae Jenkins:
Oh well. [and walks away]

Paolo Maltese:
[Catches up with her, exasperated] Listen. THAT is the Baptistery. From all over the world people are coming here everyday just to look at it.

Mae Jenkins:
Well, I guess they just must like baptisteries. [Walks away]

Paolo Maltese:
[Turning to Joey] Without exception, Joey, without challenge from anyone anywhere, this is the most stupidest, the most unfeelingest, the most uncooperative broad in the whole planet.

Paolo Maltese:
And this is the girl, my fidanzata, that I am bringing home to meet my folks. Of all the women in the whole world that I can choose from to be my wife, who do I choose? An ignorant slob of a hatcheck girl who thinks Pisa - Piazza del Duomo in Pisa, Joey - is a stopping-off place between hamburger joints.
