Choc

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.

I too have loved this movie ever since I saw it.

The difference is that I fell in love with the scenery and THe old French style House and of course the music .

Will be purchasing it but am waiting for a DVD version if that will ever happen. The acting is phenomenal.

The scene at the fountain has stayed with me for a long time . I too was a teenager when I first saw it. The cinematography was so great in the beginning scene. The intensity is felt and you feel like your right there with them.

And the actor is so handsome.

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.

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!

For avid fans of Alfred Hitchcock's style of suspense, MOMENT TO MOMENT will fill the bill nicely--especially since it's lavishly photographed among some beautiful French Riviera surroundings and extremely well played by JEAN SEBERG (at her most radiant) and has HONOR BLACKMAN in an enjoyably campy role as her best friend and neighbor.

Seems that Jean is a bored housewife who drifts into a tender affair with a hunky sailor (SEAN GARRISON, whose career seemed to go nowhere except to TV roles), and when she kills him during an explosive argument she gets help from her neighbor to bury the body in a nearby ravine. From then on, it's a cat-and-mouse game with the French authorities that keeps the audience guessing right up until the finale.

Under Mervyn LeRoy's direction, this is a little slow-moving when it should have been more taut with suspense. Still, it's so attractively filmed and performed, and accompanied by an attractive Henry Mancini score, that it's recommended viewing for any fan of this sort of suspenseful romance.
