A sweet juvenile love story about a teenage girl living in Paris with her father who runs away with a French teenager so their stern parents don't put skids on the relationship. Laurence Olivier pops up in a supporting role with a delightfully hammy performance which steals the limelight from the two young stars.
Enjoyable, albeit rather forgettable, but still a better love story than most.
6/10
