Sure the credits bill Laurence Olivier as the star of this movie, but I beg to differ. Without Diane Lane's rookie performance, this movie would have nothing. She was magnificent as the brilliant adolescent who is so respectful/demure that she does not openly flaunt it. Her on-screen chemistry with Daniel plays nicely and is believable giving her detest for her mother's "wandering eyes". I liken their trip to Venice to profess their eternal love to the parallel story lines of _An Affair to Remember_ and _Sleepless in Seattle_ of having to get to the Empire State Building on Valentines Day. With the motivation and desire to seal their love, the two children with Olivier's help seem like they could accomplish anything.

This is actually a pretty decent movie. Diane Lane shines, and Laurence Olivier provides some hammy moments to an already cute movie. I also liked Arthur Hill and David Dukes in this movie
