The disarming comedy
A Little Romance features
Diane Lane as a 13-year-old American, living in Paris with her businessman stepfather (
Arthur Hill) and her promiscuous mother (
Sally Kellerman). Mom is currently enamored with pretentious-filmmaker
David Dukes, and it is on the set of
Dukes' latest picture that Lane meets another 13-year-old, insatiable French film buff
Thelonious Bernard. A likeable street-smart petty thief and gambler,
Bernard is instantly attracted to Lane. With the help of roguish old
Laurence Olivier,
Lane and
Bernard arrange a romantic rendezvous under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. Naturally, when the kids disappear it's a cause for international concern, but all ends as it should. Some of the best moments in
A Little Romance belong to
Broderick Crawford, unselfconsciously playing "himself" at a movie party.
