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.
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 "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.
I saw this before I saw Somewhere in Time and it was very unique for its time with the change from black and white to color. I felt the story was very excellent and later just as good as (the modernized remake), all things considered. Of course, I'm somewhat more partial to Jane Syemour vis-a-vis Ann Blythe. I have not had the privilege of seeing the "Berkely Square" version. I was fortunate enough to view this as "I'll Never Forget You" on TV quite some time ago. I forget the Movie Program but I was very disappointed to find out it was not available in any version on VHS or DVD. I place this romantic version along side of another favorite of mine, i.e. " Luck of The Irish" also starring Tyrone Power.
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.

- 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!
