Szerelem Montreálban

I have been showing this film to high school students taking a film class for years. They love it because it has comedy and drama. The ending surprises them all. Great teaching tool to explain the French Speaking vs. English Speaking Canadians; the Vietnam War. I always have good discussions about the characters' problems and the choices that they made to solve these problems. Most of my students didn't even know that Quebec is a French speaking province; had no knowledge of "being drafted" or "draft dodging". Good film all around.Great theme song, also!!! We all love Claire Pimpare the lead actress!!!

As I also read at top of review list, I too had been racking my brain to remember the title.. finally found it...this movie was so touching and left such an impact on me at a young age...would love to find this on a copy to view or via some movie site.... beautiful love and sacrifice

AFI just released their list of top 100 Romance films and unfortunately, this little overlooked gem didn't make their list - not even their list of nominees.

Well, it makes my top 100 list of romance films, easy. In fact, whenever I think about romance films, this one comes to mind almost immediately.

I was able to get a copy recently through e-bay, under the title, "This Time Forever."

Great story about love, duty, family expectations, and the struggle to do the right thing. Highly recommend this one!

I saw this film in the summer of '82 on HBO but it was called This Time Forever. I had never heard of it but since I am a fan of Eddie Albert and Cloris Leachman, I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be one of the best films I had ever seen. It is not a sordid film about a teenager trying to lose his virginity and nor is it a sappy love story about two young people falling in love against their parents' wishes. It is about a young man trying to choose where his real loyalties lie; his duty to serve his country or remain with the lady he loves. The problem is that it is very hard to find today and it is almost never shown anymore. If anyone gets the chance to see it, I highly recommend it. You may be just as surprised as I am.

A lack of production values prevents Yesterday from getting a better rating. But this Canadian production is a fine film aboutlove and sacrifice.

Young Vincent Van Patten is attending college in Canada on a hockey scholarship and falls for coed Clare Pimpare. A rather stupid juvenile prank costs him the athletic scholarship and he has to go back to America to face the draft.

Van Patten goes back o America and Vietnam and comes out the worst for it in body. Pimpare is led to believe he's been killed. And she's with childnow.

Van Patten and Pimpare are as sensitive and tender a pair of young lovers as you'll find. There are good performances from Eddie Albert and Cloris Leachman as Van Patten's grandparents.

Yesterday is Vincent Van Patten's career film. A pity this film is not better known.
