The Trip series was definitely referenced during intial pitches for director Eleanor Coppola's first non-documentary feature, the extremely gentle romantic comedy Paris Can Wait that too contrives a reason, the flimsiest, for its main character, Diane Lane's Anne, to be driven on a restaurant roadtrip across France, from Cannes to Paris, by her husband's film-producing partner Jacques, and while the pair gorge on local food and wine and visit historical sites and museums, they relax, laugh, and share intimate moments - but no Michael Caine impressions - and she starts to wonder if she and her always-too-busy husband will ever get to do the same.
