Plot summary

Intellectually precocious teenager Lauren King lives in Paris with her somewhat ditzy mother. On a movie set, she strikes up a friendship with teenage film buff Daniel Michon. After Lauren's mother forbids her to date the outspoken Daniel, the young lovebirds team up with eccentric pickpocket Julius to run away to Venice, where, according to legend, a couple who kiss under the Bridge of Sighs will stay together forever.

Diane Lane plays an American teenager staying in

Diane Lane plays an American teenager staying in Paris with her actress mom, Sally Kellerman, when she strikes up a relationship with a young Parisian boy. I'd always been curious to see this film since it was Lane's first movie (and since she was my celebrity crush since SIX PACK), but this movie was soooooooo annoyingly precious I could barely take it. I knew it had a reputation as not being very good, so I went in with low expectations, but even then, it was a slog, which is disappointing since it was directed by the great and under-appreciated George Roy Hill (THE STRING, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER, SLAP SHOT, etc.). Even Laurence Olivier is hard to take in a completely hammy performance, playing an elderly Frenchman who befriends the young couple. However, as bad as the movie is, it was kind of fun to watch Lane display star power and on-screen charisma even at 13 years old. It's crazy to think that 5 years later, she'd be playing her first adult role in STREETS OF FIRE because she's a total kid in this movie. Reportedly, Olivier was so charmed by Lane that he became something of a mentor to her during filming, where he described her as "the next Grace Kelly." which isn't far off. The film also has a nice score by composer Georges Delerue (CONTEMPT, PLATOON, BEACHES), and this film is the only one he ever won an Academy Award. I'd say to skip this one unless you are a die-hard Lane or Olivier fan. FUN FACT! According to co-star David Dukes, Broderick Crawford had been part of the U. S. Army when they liberated Paris in 1944, and he loved being back all these years later because "He could still walk into restaurants where the owner would remember him and sit him down to dinner."

A cute little romance from the 70’s. Charming

A cute little romance from the 70’s. Charming if not a little staged and static.
