Three Couples, one smart, one stupid and one very stupid are the textbook examples we observe in "none for the road" The first male in the couple has had way to much to drink, the second male, a few too much, the third, just ginger ale :), the girl hanging around the person who's had way too much to drink shrugs him off, but needs to get home. The no-drinking couple makes excuses about not taking her (which is interesting) so finally she goes with the couple who's had a few too much. When the no-drinking couple see an accident when they're driving home, guess who's the victim? They're actually too nonchelant about it, after all, they were friends (I think), grasping a "Oh shucks" attitude about their friend's predicament.
Oh! And througout all of this, a "psychologist" (who looks like someone I've seen in a social guidance film before (ahhh! The Bright Young Newcomer boss! Right! Thanks Ken!) blabbers all sorts of mumbo jumbo about liquor filled rats, how they can't keep their balance, and the most hokiest driving test cars I've ever seen. Good for a hoot or two.
