London Affair (1970)
6/10
This Is Not Your Typical Charles Bronson Movie
7 June 2018
Charles Bronson, one of the greatest action stars of all times, and Richard Donner, one of the greatest action film directors of all times, come together and the result is quirky romantic comedy that really pushes the boundaries into Nabokov's territoy. Charles Bronson stars as American author living in London when barely sixteen year old English school girl falls in love with him. Although she's in legal age, the girl's family and relatives doesn't approve their affair. The writer's friends also aren't very supporting on that matter. That is understandable as the guy could be her father by the age.

The film is not 'Lolita' as this time the older man falls under the spell of a young girl. Their relationship is plagued with more downs than ups, when sixteen year old girl fails to comprehend the world of working adults.
