Directed by George Roy Hill • 1979 • United States, France
Starring Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane, Thelonious Bernard
When Lauren (Diane Lane), a thirteen-year-old American girl living in Paris, meets Daniel (Thelonious Bernard), a thirteen-year-old French boy, on the set of a film, these two kids balanced on the tipping point between innocence and awareness become instantly inseparable. And with an aging, dapper boulevardier (Laurence Olivier)—who savors a memory of a lifetime of romantic adventures—acting as Cupid, encouraging them to believe in true love, the teens travel to Venice to seal their romance with a sunset kiss under the city’s Bridge of Sighs. An Oscar-winning score by Georges Delerue enhances the ample Continental charm.
