    One of the best Tyrone Powers movies, not forgotten I hope

    This was one of the best 'love story' movies that I remember when I was a teen. I haven't seen this movie also in about 40 plus years. I hope somewhere that a copy was saved and released as a DVD. I think it was one of Tyrone Powers great love stories and the cast was excellent to match. I have wanted to see this movie so many times and looked in so many places to try and find a way to either see it again or obtain some sort of copy. I'd like to think that before I drop dead I would like to be able to see this movie one last time. I hope again that it hasn't been lost forever. The movie has already been described by others at IMDb. I wish more movies were made like this one and we had more actors like the ones in this movie. I remember seeing it on a black and white TV and being brought to tears after watching it on the Late show in NYC. One thing I remember about this movie was the strong love between Ann Blyth and Tyrone Power and how one could actually die of heart break.

    Memorable!

    I first saw this movie as a child and loved it. In the mid 60's the movie was shown on The Late Show, and unfortunately I was able to watch only part of it. I have looked for it since, but over time had forgotten the movie's name. I remembered only the plot and the stars. I came across a Tyrone Power website recently which led me to this website where my memory was refreshed and my appetite whetted. I find, however, that this movie is not available for purchase. Shame, Shame!! I would love to see it again, in its entirety.

    A fantastic love story.

    If you haven't seen this movie you are missing Tyrone Power's best performance. It's a beautiful love story, and the ending is memorable. This movie is almost impossible to find in the rental store in the U.S.A, but I think it is available in England. This story is a candidate for a remake by a savvy producer, and I hope, but doubt it will ever be remade. I think the movie should be re-released and placed in the racks of the rental store, so others of the new generation would have the opportunity to see this entertaining flick. I recommend this movie, especially if you want to see a love story the way they were portrayed approximately 40 years ago.

    Haunting and Memorable

    I haven't forgotten this movie even though haven't seen it in

    almost 40 years. Tyrone Power plays a man unhappy with his own era in

    human time while being almost obsessed with 18th century England.

    Somehow, he knows that, due to a lightning bolt or something, he is

    going to trade places with a man from the 18th century. And he is

    delighted at the prospect of being transported to the era of charm,

    grace, and sophistication and exchange wisdoms and witticisms with such

    greats as Ben Johnson in a London coffee house. When the time switch

    happens, he discovers that the times weren't what they were cracked up

    to be. The streets are foul. The coffee shop conversationalists are

    pompous and depressingly ignorant of certain fundamentals (to a 20th

    century man) of science, geography, and even philosophical essentials

    of the dignity of mankind. And instead of himself being received as a

    man blessed with advance scientific knowledge, he is perceived to be

    both an agent of Satan and insane. Meanwhile, of course, he meets the alter ego of the woman he knew in

    the 20th century and a tender, haunting love story envelops the viewer.

    Fresh and entertaining after twenty years.

    I saw this movie "I'll Never Forget You", about 20 year ago and it was very entertaining. The story was very fresh ,in the sense that it was not a retread as we are all use to now a days. I would go as far as to say, it's one of the best fantasy / dramas of 20th century film making. Tyrone Power and Ann Blight performances make us believe their characters. The fantasy and drama of this film really comes through. I ,for one, would like to see it re-released on DVD, so young people could get a chance to see it. You know, the violence, we call movie making now days, is not conducive to entertainment or brain power. This movie is entertaining and leaves room for thought.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Like its better known predecessor, Berkeley Square (1933), this film was tied up in rights entanglements that prevented it from being shown on cable (Fox Movie Channel would be the place to see it), or released commercially on DVD. It was finally released on July 29, 2008, as part of Fox's "Tyrone Power Matinee Idol" DVD collection.
    • Goofs
      At about 1:05:30 into the DVD (Tyrone Power Matinee Idol Collection, Disk 5), Peter Standish says to Helen "When I kissed Kate ..." -- but he hasn't yet kissed Kate in the movie. In fact, his relationship with Kate has been rather frosty, except for their opening meeting -- and even then they did not kiss. So he has has nothing to explain to Helen. Perhaps there was originally a scene where Peter and Kate kissed to solidify their engagement, and that scene was cut from the final film. In any case, the absence of any such scene creates an apparent continuity blunder.
    • Quotes

      Tom Pettigrew: There's one habit of his which will never become the fashion. Every morning two serving maids have to carry buckets of water up flights of stairs for him to wash himself.

      Mr. Throstle: He washes himself? All over?

      Tom Pettigrew: Every morning!

      Mr. Throstle: [incredulous] All over, every morning!
