Movie Info

In this offbeat, romantic comedy, Sophie is a young, creative writer. One night, as she reads one of her erotic tales aloud, she is overheard by womanizing jeweler Eddie. Although they are attracted to each other, Sophie has a secret that may present an obstacle; she has a paralyzed leg.

Critic Reviews for Paperback Romance

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (2)

Despite its wildly improbable plot, its general tone is one of a becalmed hush, full of wondering discovery, highly suitable for romance.

Film Journal International

Most screwball comedies play off a mistaken identity. Paperback Romance may be the first to use a mistaken disability.
