The April Fools is a 1969 American romantic comedy film directed by Stuart Rosenberg and starring Jack Lemmon and Catherine Deneuve. Howard Brubaker is married to Phyllis. Catherine is the stunning wife of an uncaring husband, Howard's philandering boss, Ted Gunther; the evening of the day Ted promotes Howard, Howard attends Ted's house party where Ted urges him to pick up an available woman there and proceeds to show him how. Howard reluctantly tries it on Catherine, who accepts; the two go out for a little adventure on the town. Ted is oblivious; the two find their marriages are loveless as they discover more about each other that night and decide to run away together the next evening. But Ted doesn't realize the other man is Howard until Howard and Catherine are about to board the plane to Paris; the female lead was going to be played by Shirley MacLaine but she was not available due to commitments on Sweet Charity and campaigning for Robert F. Kennedy. Catherine Deneuve was cast instead; the New York Times review said, "The April Fools, written by Hal Dresner and directed by Stuart Rosenberg, manipulates its stereotypes with elegance and style....

The best things in the movie, are the extraordinarily good supporting performances by Peter Lawford, Jack Weston, Harvey Korman, Sally Kellerman, by two stars who invented movie elegance 30 years ago, Charles Boyer and Myrna Loy." Published in advance of the film's release, a paperback screenplay novelization by the ubiquitous and gifted tie-in scribe William Johnston was issued by Popular Library.

It was illustrated by Elizabeth Honey, it follows a young boy, separated from his elder brother whilst attempting to flee the terror of the reign of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. It provides an insight into the general plight of refugees using the specific instance of this horrible experience as a backdrop. Muong Vithy is the main character of Little Brother. Vithy has worked with his big brother Mang, their sister and their mother and father are gone. They run away, trying to escape from the Khmer Rouge, they manage to get away, but not for long. Mang has advice for getting away: "Follow the lines... to the border." Vithy is puzzled about the advice. What lines? Which border? They are separated as they run for their life and Vithy is left alone in the forest; the soldiers leave him, no doubt pursuing Mang. Vithy starts traveling to Cambodia's border; as he is traveling beside the road he sees soldiers - not the Khmer Rouge.

He finds himself on the outskirts of the now deserted Phnom Penh, finds a little gold leaf and meets a boy, the King. Vithy stays in the King's City and fixes a motor for him; when they are working for their meals the King hides Vithy in a truck, gives him the gold leaf as payment for the motor and some water. The truck travels near Angkor. Vithy walks for a few hours, he finds himself face to face with a young boy, though much older than himself, on a bicycle and bribes the boy with the gold leaf the King gives him. The boy lets him build a bicycle in his graveyard of bicycles. Will Vithy make it to the border on his struggle to find his older brother? Reviews of Little Brother were positive. Although Kirkus Reviews found "The atrocities and privations that make... Other refugee stories so searing are kept offstage here. Publishers Weekly stated that "Baillie sensitively expresses the depth of Vithy's loneliness while exploring the boy's growing independence and gradual rebuilding of trust." And "Offering insight into the Vietnamese/Cambodian experience, this haunting tale confirms the universality of human instincts and emotions."

Valerie Bierman, writing for Books for Keeps, believed it "a gem which deserves to become a classic, it only to demonstrate to children the futility and cruelty of war." The Children's Book Council of Australia - Children's Book of the Year Awards 1986 - Highly commended
