"There is a legend which says that if two lovers - kiss - in a gondola, under the Bridge of Sighs, at sunset, when the bells of the Campanile toll - they will love each other - forever."

I had never seen this film until this month; watched it as part of the Criterion Channel's "Set in Venice" collection. When released in 1979 I was probably just a little too young for it to be of any interest, and I suspect even a few years after that it would have seemed very dated. The feel and look of it to me seem to look back to the mid 1970's rather than the impending 1980's.

It's a sweet and charming little film that I found very easy to watch. The two leads Lauren and Daniel are precocious in intellect and sensitivity, but naive and with a burgeoning romantic love as yet unbroken by the world. Of course they can abscond to Venice and thereby ensure their love lasts forever! I mean, why not!?!

Most all of us find out quickly enough that life isn't really quite that way. But the ending of the film, I thought, was perfect - you don't know that it won't turn out that way for them. It might - just maybe! And if not? Well, they will always have Venice, and a great if brief romance between them.
