Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's alternative title S.W.A.L.K. is a common British abbreviation for Sealed With A Loving Kiss, a phrase that lovers write on the envelope of love letters to each other.
- GoofsIn the headmaster's RE lesson he quotes: 'And Jesus said, "Take up thy bed and walk."' He then asks the class the name of the man addressed and the names of the disciples who were with Jesus at the time. Jesus' quote occurs on two separate occasions (Mark Chap. 2 and John Chap. 5). On neither occasion is the man addressed named, nor is there mention of Jesus being accompanied by any of his disciples. Hence the pupils could not be expected to give a 'correct' answer.

Featured review
I saw this film when I was eleven. That was 27 years ago, and I still love it. That's unique because I haven't seen it for 27 years. It was not long after my sister's wedding. I remember this because I went to see it at half term, and I went to see it 5 times that week. I couldn't afford popcorn that many times, so I took a piece of my sisters left-over wedding cake with me each day. It is a gentle story of young love, which ends happily. Simple. What made it so good for me was the way I could identify with the two young lovers (or wanted to). I had a crush on a girl, and this film portrayed for me the fairy tale I wanted to live. And it has a score by the Bee Gees. I still sing "In the morning" (I think that's what the song was called) to myself, a song worth seeing the film just to hear. I've never seen this film on video or TV, and I don't want to. It's one of those films that I know if I see it again, I'll probably be disappointed. To paraphrase Stephen King: I've never seen films like this since, but when you're eleven, who has?
