A Little Romance (1979)

A French boy and an American girl, who go to school in Paris, meet and begin a little romance.

From memory: Likable, nicely made, but cutesy romantic comedy; Olivier's smirking performance, however, is a welcome distraction.

Halliwell (no star): "Treacly juvenile romance enriched by in-jokes and an enjoyably over-the-top star performance."

Maltin***: "Engaging film...A throwback to director Hill's WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT in its winning treatment of adolescence, but not quite as good. "

Brewster McCloud (1970)

An introverted loner living in the bowels of the Astrodome plots to develop - with the aid of a mysterious guardian angel - a pair of wings that will help him fly.

Lively, wild and chaotic comedy is only occasionally funny; seems to want to say something about flying and freedom, but doesn't really.

Halliwell (no star): "Anarchic, allegorical fantasy, a delight no doubt for connoisseurs of way-out humour. Everyone else, forget it."

Maltin***: "Patently indescribable movie...Extremely bizarre; for certain tastes, extremely funny. Altman fans have a head start."
