Moment to Moment

I was a very young 20 year old college student in the Philippines and very much in love, when I first saw this movie. The 50's thru the 60's to me was just the right time to fall in love. So many good movies then, so many good movie themes, so many good actors and so many good songs. Life was so easy then and falling in love was so simple.

I loved watching this movie just as I did many other movies from that period. So when recorded VHS movie tapes became available over 30 years ago, I made sure I bought all the movies that I enjoyed watching then. I have the VHS of this movie and of many other classic movies of that era, including a few of earlier and later years. Just as I do with all my other movies, I watch this at least two or three times a year or whenever I am in the mood, to cry, to laugh or to love. I know I will enjoy watching these movies for many more years or at least until my tapes give up on me.

I also have a few CD's and LP's of soundtrack and movie themes from many movies. I love the theme from this movie as well. Henry Mancini was a great Songwriter and Composer. "Moment To Moment" was one of his best work. He has done so many movie themes and I enjoy listening to each one of them as well. The man is a genius.

Watching this movie and listening to its music take me back to many good memories.

There are still a few elusive movies that I still have to own. "Tender Is The Night", "Tiara Tahiti", "My Geisha", Bonjour Tristesse" and many more,including many soundtracks. I hope I find them soon for they don't make movies or write songs as they used to, or like these, anymore.

This is a good movie in the Hitchcock vein, in which small details form the key to intense pathos. Will the husband notice the thing she mentioned in passing? Will her child inadvertently play with the wrong toy? Will the best friend keep the story straight? It takes a tangled web of lies and omissions to keep silent an impulsive affair--and a possible murder--when everything is so interconnected. No real villains here, but faulted humans trying to be happy, and not upset the house of cards that comprise their private lives. Good performances by Honor Blackman and Jean Seberg. You will be on the edge of your seat, and clutching a hankie at the same time. Great retro-fun when it comes out on DVD!

I remember seeing this film in 1966 (sic) We (my friend and I ) enjoyed it. We were then teens, I have been trying to see this film again. I have not been successful. I am delighted that there is this site where people still reminiscense about films seen almost half a century ago. Any way I enjoyed this film very much 40 years ago. I wish I will be able to see it again ( hopefully my taste has not changed.) We in Malaysia do not get the quality English films that we used to have forty years ago. It has something to do with the declining standards of English. As such it does not make economic sense to bring in quality films for the viewers.So thanks again for having this site

I saw this movie 30 years ago and have been very anxious for it to come out on video. The plot is intriguing and wonderful. It is a story about a neglected wife who would behave as most bored wives would and have an affair and wind up in trouble. But the beautiful heart touching music by Henry Mancini sets this movie apart as a precious jewel.

First time I saw this movie, I was in my early twenties and of course in a pretty romantic stage. I ran into it again on TV once back in the 1980's & I found it was equally enjoyable. It is a movie, which has the romance & suspense in a perfect rapport. People may think the acting lacks depth and the story is out of date. However, what do they matter if the story is wonderfully played out and the feeling of the characters is believable? I may not be as naive and romantic as before, but, every time I hear Henry Mancini's "moment to moment", the beauty of Jean Seberg's profile & French Riviera comes out of my memory and henceforth the story. The love, forgiveness & understanding among all the characters make me think that the world I'm leaving in is a beautiful place.
