Stanley Donen - Two for the Road (1967)

Plot Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In preparing his romantic comedy Two For the Road, director Stanley Donen decided to utilize many of the cinematic techniques popularized by the French "nouvelle vague" filmmakers. Jump cutting back and forth in time with seeming abandon, Donen and scriptwriter Frederic Raphael chronicle the 12-year relationship between architect Wallace (Albert Finney) and his wife (Audrey Hepburn). While backpacking through Europe, student Finney falls for lovely music student Jacqueline Bisset, but later settles for Hepburn, another aspiring musician (this vignette served as the launching pad for the film-within-a-film in Francois Truffaut's 1973 classic Day for Night). Once married, Finney and Hepburn go on a desultory honeymoon, travelling in the company of insufferable American tourists William Daniels and Eleanor Bron and their equally odious daughter Gabrielle Middleton. Later on, during yet another road trip, Finney is offered an irresistible job opportunity by Claude Dauphin, which ultimately distances Finney from his now-pregnant wife. Still remaining on the road, the film then details Finney and Hepburn's separate infidelities. The film ends where it begins, with Finney and Hepburn taking still another road vacation, hoping to sew up their unraveling marriage. While critics did nip-ups over Stanley Donen's "revolutionary" nonlinear story-telling techniques, audiences responded to the chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney, not to mention the unforgettable musical score by Henry Mancini. Note: many TV prints of Two for the Road are edited for content, robbing the viewer of Finney and Hepburn's delightful "Bitch/Bastard" closing endearments.

Stanley Donen - The Little Prince (1974)

Plot: A pilot crashes in the midst of the Sahara desert. There he meets and befriends a young boy who claims that he is a prince from the tiny asteroid B612. The prince has travelled through the universe in search of knowledge. As the prince tells the pilot about his travels, he asks the pilot to draw him a picture of a sheep.

Antoine De Saint-Exupéry is considered a French national icon. Saint-Exupéry was a pilot during the very infancy of commercial flight in the 1920s, where he flew as an international postal courier and later managed an airfield in the Sahara. He began writing in 1926 and within his lifetime published seven books, all on aviation themes. The most famous of these was the fable Le Petit Prince/The Little Prince (1943), which has gone onto become an international children’s classic. The story is largely seen as allegorical upon Saint-Exupéry’s part – he, like the character, was a pilot in Saharan Africa, while the character of The Rose, who represents love, was a portrait of his wife Consuelo – she later entitled her autobiography The Tale of the Rose (1979). The characters throughout stand in for caricatures of various types in modern society, against whom the Prince contrasts an unalloyed innocence. Saint-Exupéry is a character of some interest. Chief among these is the mystery of his eventual fate – he had joined the Allied resistance against the Nazis as a pilot during the Second World War. In 1944, he flew what was meant to be his last mission, a reconnaissance flight, before leaving the service, but failed to return. Exactly what happened remains a mystery, although it is believed that he was shot down by a German fighter. Largely on the basis of The Little Prince, he has become a celebrated figure in French culture. He appeared on the French 50 franc note and has had an airport (in Lyon) and even an asteroid named after him.

This is a film adaptation of the Saint-Exupéry story. Here though, the story was turned into a brassy, cumbersome musical. It was written directly for the screen by Broadway musical specialists Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, who had classics like Brigadoon (1947), My Fair Lady (1956) and Camelot (1960) to their name. The film was directed by Stanley Donen, a specialist in film musicals with the likes of Royal Wedding (1951), Singin’ in the Rain (1952), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1957), Funny Face (1957) and Damn Yankees (1958).

Even though the film remains quite faithful to the text of the story, it is all rather ponderous and quite deadening. It is really its being construed as a classical-styled musical that drags the story out. And while many of Donen’s other film musicals have a frothy effervescence, he fails to give the exercise here much in the way of enervation. The film’s only enlivening moment is a wonderfully slithery self-choreographed number from famed dance choreographer/film director Bob (Cabaret, All That Jazz, Star 80) Fosse as the Snake in the Grass. Another dance sequence with Gene Wilder, giving what must be one of the worst in a whole career of awful performances, is excruciatingly over the top. The scenes between the Pilot and Prince do certainly play with a wry humour and deft matter-of-fact absurdism. But then the score keeps returning to drag proceedings to a standstill.

One of the plus points of the film are its highly unusual sets and effects. The Prince’s asteroid is a sphere only 15 feet in diameter – we see him walk the entire way around the equator, stepping over tiny volcanoes and across The Statesman’s borders and countries that are no bigger than a puddle of water. And there are other memorable images – Clive Revill as the businessmen living in a world filled with towers of books; or the Prince’s flight through space holding onto a flock of animated silver birds. Eight year-old Steven Warner has a plaintive and sweetly endearing presence as the Prince – what ever happened to Warner one wonders?

A far more impressive version of the story was a short film version made by Claymation animator Will Vinton in 1979. There was a further animated adaptation made for German tv in 1990. There have also been two films based on the life of Saint-Exupéry – the British production Saint-Ex (1996), with Bruno Ganz in the title role, and the French tv production Saint-Exupéry: The Last Mission (1996), starring Bernard Giraudeau.
