Rolls-Royce gets under way in high style when Rex Harrison, as a British Foreign Office nabob, goes out to buy a motorized bauble for his wife (Jeanne Moreau). "I don't much care for the shape of the decanter," Harrison purrs, eying the built-in bar accessories. He has the automobile delivered during a party on Ascot eve, and Veteran Director Anthony Asquith (The V.l.P.s) begins scratching through the smooth surfaces of leisure-class life with exquisite malice. At dinner, Moreau arranges a tryst with one of Harrison's subordinates (Edmund Purdom), masking her passion with some...
