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.
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.
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.
I saw this movie in the 50's and thought it was one of the most beautiful love stories. Ann Blyth was one of my favorite actresses and she was, as usual, simply marvelous. Why don't they show it on television or put it out on video. I would love to see it again.
I saw this movie in 1951, when I was seven years old. Because several scenes remained engraved on my mind, years later, when I recalled those scenes, I was able to identify the stars (Tyrone Power and Ann Blythe). Heaven knows how I remembered the name of the movie. I am DYING to see it again because of the powerful impression it made on me as a little girl. I scour the TV Guide regularly, but so far no luck. Does anyone have any idea who owns this movie? I keep hoping Turner will find it in some lot of films he buys and show it on his TCM station.

- TriviaLike 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.
- GoofsAt 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!
