The film left a complex impression. It would seem that all the components of success are obvious - charming young heroes, first love, joint adventure, wonderful acting of the legendary Laurence Olivier ... But it seemed to me that the film is too stretched, it contains a lot of unnecessary, absurd. And vice versa, what was necessary to emphasize is absent in the script. For example, it would be nice to know the real, not fictitious, life story of a strange but sincere elderly character. Or to show what the sympathy of the funny best friend of Lauren for the best friend of Daniel resulted in. The feeling that despite the considerable length of the film, some important scenes were thrown out during editing. For example, how did a boy, girl and old man get to Venice without money and baggage? How did the police find Lauren and Daniel and what was the reaction of the relatives at the meeting? Why didn't the old man go to jail after stealing money at a racetrack? How could one explain the discovery of a huge amount of money in a train compartment? I would like to give the film a higher rating - after all, there is some charm in it, but the plot is too unfinished.
