One of the brighter moments in Goldcrest's troubled history, this charming tale of cross-cultural courtship is set in the pre-Swinging Sixties. Cartoonist Posy Simmonds's semi-autobiographical screenplay may indulge in a little cheap caricature where both the plainspeaking and bohemian French folk are concerned, but it, nevertheless, captures the hesitancy and naive emotionalism of first love with genuine insight and affection. Making Paris seem romantic is hardly an onerous task, but director Brian Gilbert turns the city into a key character, rather than just the beautiful backdrop to mousey exchange student Jane Snowdon's relationship with the dashing Alexandre Sterling.

Children's musical based on Grimm's fairy tale of The Frog-King. A young girl learns how to be a good friend and princess with the help of a "tall frog."
