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.
This movie has everything, philosopy, romance, adventure, love, discovery of self love and France. Who could ask for more. It has a wonderful cast. Diane Lane is absolutely wonderful. Sir Laurence Olivier is just fabulous. The rest of cast is a wonderful collection of oddballs and nuts that are done superbly.
There is no overt sex, no violence but the movie manages to do very well without those things. It makes you wonder why they can't make more movies like this anymore. It is a complete movie. Thankfully they did not make a sequel to this one. It stands on its own. The test of a good movie is that after it ends you care and wonder about the characters. This movie really makes you wonder what happened after the movie ends.
Did she write back? Did he find another love? Will they find true love? Very few movies I have seen ever made me wonder what happened after the end.
