Not to be confused with ‘Big Yellow Taxi’

I have a quite unusual movie on the TV this evening; unfortunately, I’ve been busy with a million little things and haven’t been able to pay it the attention it deserves.

It’s a curiosity of which I wasn’t even aware: “The Yellow Rolls-Royce.”

Here are some of the names in the cast, and see if you can imagine them all in the same movie: Rex Harrison, Shirley MacLaine, George C. Scott, Ingrid Bergman, Omar Sharif, Art Carney (no relation) and Wally Cox (the voice of the original Underdog!).

The way they all fit is that it’s actually an anthology: three mini-movies in one, taking place over several decades, with the car as the one thing connecting them as it passes from owner to owner.

I’ll have to give this a closer look the next time it airs.
