Por um Momento de Amor

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

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 People may think the acting lacks depth and the story is out of date.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.

What an incredible theme song this lovely picture has. Henry Mancini, along with other major composers, wrote some of the best movie themes during this era (50s & 60s). Also, during that era, songs that went on to get nominated for Oscars were first rate - unlike today's non-descript dreck.

"Moment to Moment" is a lovely movie. I loved the scene at the café when the white doves flew up into the sun (turning golden) to say "goodbye to the day." That glorious theme music crept in all through the picture, making the mood extra special.

I recently bought a Mancini CD just to get the theme from this film. Jean Seberg was a beautiful actress with perfect looks which matched the astonishingly handsome, Sean Garrison, playing the man she cheats with and believes she's killed.

I could see Lana Turner playing this role, it was her kind of picture, but Seberg was just fine. I'm just disappointed that I can't have this on DVD with possible "extras" of outtakes, interviews, etc., especially with Mancini who created this impassioned music. The music theme set the entire mood for the movie and that theme is available on Henry Mancini's A Legendary Performer CD. I just love it.

I have been searching for this movie for years! I saw it when I was in college and have never seen it since. I am so happy to finally locate it and now I would like to purchase the video, if available. If anyone knows where to obtain it, please put it on this site and I will order it. Anyway, this movie is a real tear jerker - I remember sobbing at the end; course I was young and impressionable then. But seriously, for anyone who loves a tragic love story, this is it!! In general I don't remember too many movies but this one has literally haunted me for over 25 years! I even had the sheet music and used to play the theme on the piano. Thanks IMDb for having the information!

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.
