Hill says that sometimes acting comes more easily to children "if you make it a game of make-believe or fooling people. That's what acting really is, anyway." Once kids think of moviemaking as a game, he says, "they will do all kinds of things to fool you." He took a somewhat different approach with the two young stars of A Little Romance, "since on a romantic level it's an adult movie."

Which is not to say, not at all, that John Wilson is trying to fool anybody. If a paneled room with baronial fireplace happens to be from London's Barclays Bank, he says so, and an Oklahoma City developer is pleased indeed to buy it for $32,500. But at a preview Wilson has also eagerly explained that a particular "pub" was actually taken from a church and rearranged. "We embellish, combine, try to keep the period," he says...
