Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSir Laurence Olivier wanted to do his own stunts despite his infirmity. Director George Roy Hill had built for Olivier a specially designed bicycle with a motor to give the appearance that the cyclist was pedaling. Olivier wouldn't stand for this, however, and when Hill was away, he got on the real bike and rode down a hill on his own, proving his cycling competency.
- Goofs(at around 51 mins) On the Champs-Elysees a pedestrian makes an obscene gesture to the camera.
- Quotes
Daniel Michon: You have a father or just a mother?
Lauren King: No, I have a father. As a matter of fact, I'm on my third.
Daniel Michon: [surprised] Does your mother divorce them or just kill them?
Lauren King: [laughs] No, still alive.
Daniel Michon: What does the latest one do?
Lauren King: He's in telephones.
Daniel Michon: Telephones. What does he do exactly?
Lauren King: Exactly? He's the head of ICT. In Europe.
Daniel Michon: So. You're a capitalist.
Lauren King: [shakes her head] My father's a capitalist. My own politics are more... radical than my parents'.
Daniel Michon: It's easy to be liberal when you're rich. I've seen it in films.
The great part about this film is that the love between Lane and Bernard is treated sensitively and without sentimentality or condescension. Lane and Bernard are in love and know they are meant for each other. Their intelligence about their love is in sharp contrast to the indifference or foolishness of most of the adult characters in the film who dictate their daily lives. The film's score is truly beautiful, utilizing Handel's Largo as it's main theme. There's a sweet vibe running throughout this film that makes it very special indeed. A great movie for a Sunday afternoon. Highly recommended.
