The Yellow Rolls-Royce is a 1964 British 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).

Prompted by the production team's success with The V.I.P.s, the film boasts a similar all-star cast,[2] including Rex Harrison, Ingrid Bergman, Shirley MacLaine, Omar Sharif, George C. Scott, Alain Delon and Jeanne Moreau.

The horse wins, and Lord Frinton is presented with the Gold Cup by King George V. However, his elation is blighted when he finds his wife with her lover, his underling John Fane, in flagrante in the back of the Rolls with the shades drawn.

20,023 miles later, Genoa, Italy – The Rolls, according to the proprietor of the Genova Auto Salon where it is on sale, was "owned by a Maharajah, who lost his money at the San Remo Casino".

It is purchased by American gangster Paolo Maltese, who is touring the sights of Italy with his bored fiancée Mae Jenkins, a common hat-check girl, and his right-hand man, Joey Friedlander.

Friedlander turns a blind eye when she falls for Stefano, a handsome young street photographer the group had met earlier in Pisa, evidently accepting that Mae is finally finding love instead of the ceaseless verbal abuse and degradation she gets from an overbearing Maltese.

[7] By that time, Ingrid Bergman, Rex Harrison, Shirley MacLaine, Alain Delon, Jeanne Moreau, George C. Scott and Omar Sharif were already cast in the key roles.

"[5] A.H. Weiler of The New York Times called it a "pretty slick vehicle, that is pleasing to the eye and occasionally amusing, but it hardly seems worthy of all the effort and the noted personalities involved.
