A Little Romance
Dapper old rascal and park-bench regular Julius (Laurence Olivier) wants to make a place in our jumbled world for A Little Romance. Specifically, he aids and abets Diane Lane and Thelonious Bernard, 13-year-olds in Paris whose genius IQs are no match for the innocent intoxication of first love. They decide to seal their union with a sunset kiss under Venice's Bridge of Sighs. It's a perfectly impulsive puppy-love scheme-and a perfect trek for pied-piper Julius to lead. Gracefully scripted by Allan Burns (Mary Tyler Moore), overflowing with Continental charm under the direction of George Roy Hill (The Sting) and set to a sublime Oscar winning score by Georges Delerue, A Little Romance will afford you a lot of pleasure.

Cute move and a nice look back in time. - 1writer
This is a sweet movie about first love that is charming due to the innocence and naivete that the two main characters (Diane Lane as Lauren and Thelonious Bernard as Daniel) emanate throughout the story. It is fun to see several of the actors in the film at such an early point in their career, as well. The only downfall of the film is that it seems that the two young characters are just too mature, in some of their lines, to be as believable as they could have been. That seems to be due to the writing/directing more than to the acting. Cute movie and a fun look back.A Lovely Little Charmer - Zanna
For the young at heart who still believe that fairy tales can come true, this movie is a lovely little charmer set in Paris, Verona and Venice. This would have been Diane Lane's first big role (I guess she was about 14 at the time) and you see from her work here touches of what later made her one of the best actresses in the english-speaking world. Laurence Olivier, as usual, is hard to resist. You can tell he enjoyed doing it. A very entertaining romp.A Little Romance - MovieLover
This was a gripping and exciting story of two youngsters (D. Lane and T. Bernard), who got so close to each other, and so soon. Their love for each other was inseparable and they worked their way with their beliefs to visit the Bridge of Sighs in Venice at sundown and went to such great lenghts to make this happen - ofcourse with the help of their old friend Lawrence Olivier.
