I love this movie. I discovered it many years ago and was lucky enough to find it on an on line auction. It is a "chick flick" and leaves me crying everytime. WHen she says "Matthew" with her French accent me and my friends just want to scream into the television. I recommend it to anyone -- if you can find it.

I have been showing this film to high school students taking a film class for years. They love it because it has comedy and drama. The ending surprises them all. Great teaching tool to explain the French Speaking vs. English Speaking Canadians; the Vietnam War. I always have good discussions about the characters' problems and the choices that they made to solve these problems. Most of my students didn't even know that Quebec is a French speaking province; had no knowledge of "being drafted" or "draft dodging". Good film all around.Great theme song, also!!! We all love Claire Pimpare the lead actress!!!

I have found this film to be absolutely unforgettable. Obviously, after seeing many years ago, I am still touched by it. It was a love story that truly touched my heart.

In fact, I am trying very hard to find a copy. I want very much to be able to watch it someday.

If anyone happens to have ANY information, please let me know.

I think this love story got tucked away and shouldn't have. I bet there a lot of people that would love it now, but have no idea it even exists.

I saw this film in the summer of '82 on HBO but it was called This Time Forever. I had never heard of it but since I am a fan of Eddie Albert and Cloris Leachman, I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be one of the best films I had ever seen. It is not a sordid film about a teenager trying to lose his virginity and nor is it a sappy love story about two young people falling in love against their parents' wishes. It is about a young man trying to choose where his real loyalties lie; his duty to serve his country or remain with the lady he loves. The problem is that it is very hard to find today and it is almost never shown anymore. If anyone gets the chance to see it, I highly recommend it. You may be just as surprised as I am.

As I also read at top of review list, I too had been racking my brain to remember the title.. finally found it...this movie was so touching and left such an impact on me at a young age...would love to find this on a copy to view or via some movie site.... beautiful love and sacrifice
