| | Wonderful movie | DeiGoddess 04/11/2009 | | I thought this movie was great. You had to really pay attention in order to actually follow the story, such as how he learn to understand what the people were saying. For me, the movie helped me to understand some things in the spiritual although it is not a spiritual movie. I lost my original copy of this movie, but when I start my collection back up, it is definitely going to be there. |

Later, in the 1930s, gangster Paolo Maltese (George C. Scott) buys the Rolls and tours Italy with hat-check girl Mae Jenkins (Shirley MacLaine). Like her predecessor, Mae also tries out the back seat–she finds "love" with a photographer (Alain Delon) while Paolo is in the U.S. on business. By World War II, socialite Gerda Millett (Ingrid Bergman) owns the car and fights the Nazis by smuggling Davich (Omar Sharif) across the border. In the process, this couple also finds pleasures in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom II.
