...toward Venice, where the lovers intend to bind themselves together for eternity by kissing in a gondola under the Bridge of Sighs. This agreeable silliness works because the script by Allan Burns is sharp and funny, the two young actors are fresh and effective, Olivier is a howl, and Director George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy, The Sting) has a fine comic touch...
Talent helps. But another reason the film succeeds is that Director Hill allows the kids to be madly romantic?they are 13, it's the right age?without sentimentalizing them.

One scene required her to climb a high fence, and she notes, with satisfaction, that she rejected the director's offer of a double. She has a daredevil's face, marked by a scar that runs from the bridge of her once broken nose, across her right eyelid and down nearly to her cheekbone ?the result of too many falls in playgrounds. Not long ago, she finished filming Orphan...
