An American teenager living in Paris meets and falls in love with a French teenager. Encouraged by an old con man, the two decide to elope. Director: George Roy Hill. Actors: Sally Kellerman, Laurence Olivier, Anna Massey, David Dukes, Diane Lane Diane Lane stars as a young American girl abroad who meets a French boy--and romance blossoms. With the help of an aging pickpocket, engagingly played by Laurence Olivier, the girl finds the courage to pursue her new love. George Roy Hill's exquisitely entertaining work is one of the great romance films of all time. As George Roy Hill observed, A LITTLE ROMANCE is, in many ways, a remake of his earlier take on adolescence, THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT. But in this film the delicate relationship between stars Thelonious Bernard as Daniel and Diane Lane as Lauren is reciprocal. Both on the cusp of adolescence, they meet on a film set in Paris when Daniel spots Lauren reading a book. The mutual discovery of their shared intellectual precocity sparks a romance, and the two begin dating amid the City of Lights. When Daniel ends up slugging the egomaniacal director boyfriend (David Dukes) of her self-absorbed actress mother, Kay (Sally Kellerman), Lauren is forbidden to see him. Naturally, she refuses to obey. After Julius (Laurence Olivier), a charming old con man, spins a tale for the couple about lovers kissing under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice at sunset, they arrange to go, taking him along as chaperone. Since none of their parents has been informed about the impromptu trip, an international search is soon under way. A completely charming fable of adolescent romance set against picture-postcard European backgrounds, the film is less about the emotional roller coaster of love than the innocent joy of finding a soulmate at last. The kids are perfectly cast in what may be Lane's best film, and one only has to see Olivier kiss his fingers and press them against the window as he watches the couple disappear to appreciate genius at work. The character of the annoying director is thought to be an inside joke on William Friedkin, then a friend of Hill's. Little Romance Reviews: "...A LITTLE ROMANCE emerges as a classy winner. A charming blend of youthful innocence and guile..."

Little Romance film
 $14.55 
A veteran tenor saxophonist who gained early recognition for his work with the Lennie Tristano school, Ted Brown has remained fairly obscure despite his consistent creativity. This superior trio set with the great bebop pianist Hod O'Brien and bassist Jacques Schols, features Brown at the top of his form. Other than his own "Smog Eyes" and the lesser-known "Trane's Slo Blues," all of the tunes are familiar bebop standards, but Brown, O'Brien, and Schols uplift and infuse them with fresh ideas. Among the more memorable selections are "Trane's Slo Blues," "Lester Leaps In" and "Lover Come Back to Me." Quite possibly this is the definitive Ted Brown set to acquire; certainly it is highly recommended to lovers of straight-ahead jazz. ~ Scott Yanow

Perhaps the most memorable film about the aftermath of World War II, THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES unfolds with the homecoming of three veterans to the same small town. The leads all touch emotional truths: Myrna Loy seems able to express longing, joy, fear and surprise--mostly with her back turned--in a particularly poignant welcome home. The movie never glosses over the reality of altered lives and the inability to communicate ...

Based on Nicholas Pileggi's book WISEGUY, Martin Scorsese's GOODFELLAS is a wry, violent, and exhilarating film about the life of Henry Hill, an aspiring criminal who ends up in the FBI's witness protection program after testifying against his former partners. As a poor Irish-Italian growing up in 1950s New York City, Hill (Ray Liotta) rises through the ranks of his Brooklyn neighborhood's organized crime branch, and with money from the mob he begins living the good life, complete with a beautiful bride, Karen (Lorraine Bracco), a fancy house, and the best seats at the most exclusive restaurants. A botched robbery lands Henry in prison for a brief period of time, and when he gets released, his reckless infidelities and drug abuse damage his association with his adopted family.
Scorsese's film is a visual and sonic onslaught, featuring a brilliant pop-music soundtrack and stunning camera work--including the infamous Steadicam one-take that introduces the audience to the Copacabana's patrons. He uses the songs to infuse a breathtaking, invigorating rhythm into every scene. As the psychopathic Tommy DeVito, Joe Pesci delivers an unforgettable performance that is alarming in its cold-blooded callousness, helping to cement GOODFELLAS' place as a classic portrait of life in the mob.
When Martin Scorsese, one of the world's most skillful and respected directors, reunited with two-time Oscar-winner Robert De Niro in GoodFellas, the result was one of the most powerful ...
