Joe F @RT27280663 Nov 25, 2025 I guess it was probably 1980 or so when our new fangled cable tv service brought this movie to my late night viewing. I was 18 and ready to see the world and find love, but I wasn’t expecting to do both with a simple little movie no one else had heard of. Then, along came Paris… and Valerie… This is a simple movie, but there’s just something so right about it. It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s sweet, and it’s innocent. Lots of names before they were names the public came to know… Mostly though, it just left a mark. I’m in my 60s now and the mark remains. That’s gotta be worth 5 stars.

I experienced similar things when I traveled to Europe after high school so this movie rang true to me. I loved everything about this movie. The cast was tremendous including young future stars Mandy Pantinkin and Debra Winger in small roles. Valérie Quennessen is a revelation..she went on to star in Summer Lovers 3 years later but died young in a tragic car accident. Miles Chapman does an awesome Woody Allen type performance and David Marshall Grant is fantastic. The writers Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck also penned the classic American Graffitti and the first draft of Star Wars (uncredited).

Tessier's extracurricular activities consists of a torrid romance with the impressionable Joel." Actually, the character she has a brief run-in with is Alex (played by David Marshall Grant). The DVD is finally available via Amazon. What fun! See more Nov 6, 2008 French Postcards is a modest charmer whose only requirement is to sit back and enjoy. See more Sep 6, 2008 An excellent movie that stands the test of time. It does hae a sad aspect to because Valerie Quennessen who played Tomi was killed in a car accident during the late 1980s.
