About this product

Product Information

As George Roy Hill observed, A LITTLE ROMANCE is, in many ways, a remake of his earlier take on adolescence, THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT. But in this film the delicate relationship between stars Thelonious Bernard as Daniel and Diane Lane as Lauren is reciprocal. Both on the cusp of adolescence, they meet on a film set in Paris when Daniel spots Lauren reading a book. The mutual discovery of their shared intellectual precocity sparks a romance, and the two begin dating amid the City of Lights. When Daniel ends up slugging the egomaniacal director boyfriend (David Dukes) of her self-absorbed actress mother, Kay (Sally Kellerman), Lauren is forbidden to see him. Naturally, she refuses to obey. After Julius (Laurence Olivier), a charming old con man, spins a tale for the couple about lovers kissing under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice at sunset, they arrange to go, taking him along as chaperone. Since none of their parents has been informed about the impromptu trip, an international search is soon under way. A completely charming fable of adolescent romance set against picture-postcard European backgrounds, the film is less about the emotional roller coaster of love than the innocent joy of finding a soulmate at last. The kids are perfectly cast in what may be Lane's best film, and one only has to see Olivier kiss his fingers and press them against the window as he watches the couple disappear to appreciate genius at work.

  • A Hidden Gem of Young Love

    This is not an epic Jane Austen romantic tale, however the engaging actors and the clever story line in this movie provide adventurous tension, innocent charm and intelligent humor to create a romantic cachet that would appeal especially to young teens - and light hearted adults for that matter. Though released back in 1979, the beautiful cinematic settings of Paris, Verona and Venice add to the timeless charm of this movie.

  • A pleasure to watch from start to finish. Truly, they don't make them like this anymore.

    This is a wonderful movie about a couple of exceptional kids dealing with their lives and family in a mature, funny, upbeat way. The superb acting and George Roy Hills direction made this a joy to watch and reminded me that all films don't have to be angry, crude, and depressing.

  • Charming

    A delightful, innocent and romantic story. Lawrence Olivier died right after this movie so it was a real treat to see his face on the screen once again. I would highly recommend this movie.

  • ALITTLE ROMANCE IS A GEM

    This movie is very special to me because, having been to Paris twice and the South of France once, it makes me feel like I am back there again. To hear French spoken again brings it alive as well. This movie is very special and is a treasure.
