Plot: The French Lesson was released in some markets as The Frog Prince. Studying at the Sorbonne, young British lass Jenny (Jane Snowden) lives with a rural, respectable French family. Her head full of curious romantic notions, Jenny would like to surrender her virginity, but only when the right boy comes along. Her choices boil down to two: Norwegian hunk Niels (Oystein Wiik) and arrogant local boy Jean-Philippe (Alexandre Sterling). To make certain that her ultimate decision is the correct one, Jenny establishes a series of offbeat conditions for her two Romeos. The film switches emotional and stylistic gears so often that, by the time the heroine has made her choice, some viewers may have forgotten how the whole thing started. The appeal of The French Lesson is almost completely dependant upon one's feelings towards mercurial leading lady Jane Snowden. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This movie sticks out prominently and fondly in my memory. That is saying a lot considering I saw it during my college years. I was just reminded of it tonight and thought Amazon might have it, only on DVD. If you ever get a chance to watch the film I know you will love it, unless you a heartless bastard. I hope I can bastard on Amazon. Thank you.

DVD please...

Although somewhat neglected in the world of cinema, this charming little tale of love in Paris remains a classic of the genre, and unfortunately, hasn't yet been released on DVD!

Give New Line some time, and this will be rectified, I'm sure. But I fell in love with the final scene with its Romeo And Juliet recitation amongst a crowd of people which was nothing if not cinematic magic.

If you can find a copy, do yourself a favour and please check it out. One of the best date movies of all time.
