/-\|_ICE !/\/ T|-|E C!T!E$1 1974

German journalist Philip Winter has a case of writer's block when trying to write an article about the United States. He decides to return to Germany, and while trying to book a flight, encounters a German woman and her nine year old daughter Alice doing the same. The three become friends (almost out of necessity) and while the mother asks Winter to mind Alice temporarily, it quickly becomes apparent that Alice will be his responsibility for longer than he expected. After returning to Europe, the innocent friendship between Winter and Alice grows as they travel together through various European cities on a quest for Alice's grandmother.

@thatmuse76 Thanks for that one. And that makes perfect sense: the right sign appears to read Lynchburg, the middle sign Richmond (and we later see WTVR 6 too). Looking on a map, Charlottesville sits right at the crossroads of 29 and 64. I can also report some of the other places (as I've been blogging about this movie for a while now): Myrtle Beach SC; Surf City NC and I believe somewhere in northeastern South Carolina near Marion (sign reads JCT ALT 41).

I saw this movie on German television in the mid 1970s and was blown away by the story. I have been trying to get my hands on a copy since. I just watched the whole and still love it.

Thanks for posting.

@ThePartyFears2 Thank you for posting this ! Its hard to get on dvd, and I've wanted to see it again for, oh, a decade or so now ...

HOLY CRAP!!!! At 7:10 he is in Charlottesville, VA!!!! He is heading North on US 29, because behind him on the sign is US 29 Business, Emmet St. etc. The only way I recognized it was from the street signs as there are a lot more trees and buildings there now.

Where is he starting out from because at 6:33 he is definitely driving down Broad St. in Richmond, VA. WTVR channel 6 is still there, although the facade of the building looks much different now.
