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.

I caught this movie (as This Time Forever) in a hotel room. It was late and I couldn't sleep. Due to the hour, I didn't expect much. Boy, was I wrong! This flick caught my attention and held it from start to finish. Love stories are normally not my thing but this one was different. There is nothing special about the movie. The interaction of the characters seemed to touch the right buttons for me. If you get the chance, watch it. Its worth the rental fee.

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

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.

AFI just released their list of top 100 Romance films and unfortunately, this little overlooked gem didn't make their list - not even their list of nominees.

Well, it makes my top 100 list of romance films, easy. In fact, whenever I think about romance films, this one comes to mind almost immediately.

I was able to get a copy recently through e-bay, under the title, "This Time Forever."

Great story about love, duty, family expectations, and the struggle to do the right thing. Highly recommend this one!
