In the book, one of the ways they earned money for the trip was through a TV quiz show on which Daniel faced off against a movie expert. For the big question, the money question, this expert did not know the answer, but Daniel called out, "ROBERT REDFORD!" This would have made such a great scene in the movie, too bad they didn't make room for it.

'A Little Romance'
starring Sally Kellerman, Arthur Hill, two bratty twerp kiddie actors, and Larry Olivier?
Nothing you describe rings a bell. The flick I saw was set in Paris.

Is it the same flick which the OP of this thread describes as 'perfect'?
Because I would hardly shower such gushing laurels on it. It was –as you say –'engaging' but in a rather mild degree.
I didn't think anyone else would even remember it around here, save myself.
I watched it only for the sake of seeing Olivier. Otherwise, mere location-photography in some European capitals all too often winds up just a 'travelogue' movie.
Like in this case, it wasn't Antonioni behind the camera; nothing particularly magical composition-wise.
The pedestrian story stayed centered on the two teeny-boppers and the tame
"how old does one have to be to fall in love?"
storyline.
Lord do I loathe children / teens in cinema.

I'm a romantic so it is a favorite.
Odd that part of the reason you don't like is because you dislike teen actors. They did a really good job and were very authentic.
The dialog was amazing on several levels.
