Director: George Roy Hill
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Hard to dismiss completely a film in which Broderick Crawford turns up as 'Brod', but with Olivier overdoing it dreadfully as the crinkly old ne'er-do-well who persuades misfit American teen Lane and French youth Bernard to run off to Venice and consolidate their love by the Bridge of Sighs, it's not one that'll win over hardened cynics either. Georges Delerue's delightful score won an Oscar. Adapted from a novel by Patrick Cauvin.Author: TJ
