A Little Romance is a 1979 romantic comedy film starring Laurence Olivier, directed by George Roy Hill. The screenplay is written by Allan Burns and George Roy Hill. The original music score is composed by Georges Delerue.

Lauren King (Diane Lane) is 13 years old, highly intelligent, and rich. She is an American girl living in Paris who spends her free time reading Heidegger. Daniel Michon (Thelonious Bernard) is 13 years old, highly intelligent, and poor. He is a French boy who loves Hollywood films and who uses his talent with mathematics to make imaginary bets on horse races.

When the two meet and fall in love, Lauren's flirtatious mother (Sally Kellerman) fiercely objects and tries to split the two up. Lauren and Daniel decide to run away to Venice, in order to "kiss under the Bridge of Sighs at sunset while the bells toll", which they have been told will mean that they will be in love forever.
