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.Product Identifiers
