Trivia: In the country where the film was made, extras are not hired. The people in the background are just normal people. Watch the background during the scene where the young couple is talking in front of a subway staircase and you will see a boy flipping off the camera.
A Little Romance (1979)
1 trivia entry
Directed by: George Roy Hill
Starring: Diane Lane, Laurence Olivier, Arthur Hill, Thelonious Bernard
Revealing mistake: When the boy accidentally hits the old man with the ball, he falls over. Note that you can see the stuntman's full head of hair as he hits the ground. When you return to the close-ups of the old man as he gets up, that extra hair is gone.
Lauren King: That's why I wanted to go to Venice. Not just to run away. But so we could kiss under the Bridge of Sighs - at sunset - when the bells tolled. The way the Brownings did. And then we could love each other for ever.
