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

I'm so sorry I can't find this movie anywhere! I watched it 23 times in the cinemas in 80's and then impossible to find it on Audio Video or DVD or in net.But this movie is amazing!!! Is that possible some one in this world to make it available again??!!!!! I want very much to have it in my own movie's collection. The story in this movie is nice not only because of this strong love. They should make more such movies!!! If someone read this and could give me advice how to find this movie for watching it would be great! I will appreciate any information and any way to have this movie! And I'm sure also one day, when my kids can see it they will love it with sure , so this would be nice present for them from me to save it. Thanks! Dani

A lack of production values prevents Yesterday from getting a better rating. But this Canadian production is a fine film aboutlove and sacrifice.

Young Vincent Van Patten is attending college in Canada on a hockey scholarship and falls for coed Clare Pimpare. A rather stupid juvenile prank costs him the athletic scholarship and he has to go back to America to face the draft.

Van Patten goes back o America and Vietnam and comes out the worst for it in body. Pimpare is led to believe he's been killed. And she's with childnow.

Van Patten and Pimpare are as sensitive and tender a pair of young lovers as you'll find. There are good performances from Eddie Albert and Cloris Leachman as Van Patten's grandparents.

Yesterday is Vincent Van Patten's career film. A pity this film is not better known.

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 saw this movie one time in 1981 on HBO and have looked for it since.

No movie has ever touched me the way this movie has. Until today, I didn't even know the name of the movie only that a Van Patten played the lead male role. I don't know why but finding this movie has been heavy on my mind lately.

It is the best love story ever made and I will spend the next 23 years searching for a copy of it if need be. If anyone can advise me please reply.
