I have "The Red Balloon" on a video - made it from BBC2 a couple of years ago. My grandchildren love it, and so do I. Especially the Music. There are only about three words spoken it it. 1956, I think. Made me want to go to Montmartre, and it's still just like that today!

The Red Balloon I can never forget and I did see it in recent years on foreign TV - language doesn't matter. I | it always gave me a romanticised view of Paris and I longed one day to walk in streets like that and see those big street doors etc...years later (even this year) I achieved that ambition - even working on a Seine boat at one time in the 80's.
