Plot: Sandwiched between Slap Shot and The World According to Garp, George Roy Hill made this effervescent film about first love. A sharp American girl (Diane Lane, in her debut) and a film-lo...( read more read more... )ving Parisian boy (Thelonious Bernard, in his only film) fall innocently in love. When the girl's zealous mother (Sally Kellerman) goes ballistic, the young couple fall under the spell of a curious gentleman (none other than Laurence Olivier), who plants the seed to make their love last forever: to kiss under a Venetian bridge at sunset. As the love story becomes an adventure with the young lovers crossing France and Italy, Allan Burns's Oscar-nominated script and Hill's deft touch turn this into a romance for the ages and a movie to smile about. George Delerue's Oscar-winning score and the picturesque European scenery don't hurt either. Ages 7 and older. --Doug Thomas

    Endearing story of young love set in France. Featuring Diane Lane in her first film role. Lauren King (Lane), an incredibly smart young American girl living in France meets a young French boy, Daniel (Thelonious Bernard), who is an American movie buff. They run into the older gent Julius (Laurence Olivier), who tells them about the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. If two lovers kiss under the Bridge of Sighs at a certain time, their love will last forever. When Lauren learns her parents plan to move back to the states, Lauren and Daniel run away to Venice, conning the old thief Julius into being their adult chaperone. Wonderful, sweet film for (almost) all ages.

    Seen this over the weekend!
    A good movie.
    I predict Thelonious Bernard would have been a great actor after this.

    perfect casting - especially Fairuza Balk as the extremely naive and innocent 15-year old Cecile. You must watch this movie to find out just how wonderfully charming and adoring she is. By comparison, Uma Thurman's "Cecile" in "DL" seems too old and sophisticated for the character.
