Best movie ever!

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

My wife and I watched this movie when it first came out and loved it. Stephen Collins and Kathleen Quinlan have wonderful chemistry together. It is a great love story. The scene where he has her picture blown up on a truck is hilarious when he tells her the scar on his forehead due to an accident is nothing and he has forgotten all about it. She is furious, goes off on him, and drives away, leaving him wondering what he has ever done to this woman. Until he said that he was finally getting through to her after striking out so many times in his attempt to get her to work for his firm. We have been hoping that this movie would come out on DVD. When it did we purchased it. It arrived today and upon watching it, we still love it as much as when we first saw it. If you like a love story, watch this movie!

The fact that the actual year that this movie was made is listed wrong, it's 1978 not 1979. Gives you the impression that this movie didn't hold much interest to anyone :) I have to say that the key cast members Stephen Collins and Kathleen Quinlan really try hold this sleeper of a movie together. They did a great job for what that had to work with. Both of them have had some great success in the later careers. I think the most interesting thing about this movie is the fact that it was the late 70's. The last frontier of a simpler time. This is the type of movie that you would end up watching at 3:00am in morning cause you couldn't fall asleep and your wondering what your doing up watching this movie, then you simply start to laugh and say. Wow.... the 70's were a trip - that's for sure.

The story isn't really unique, but it's the assemblage of players that makes it work so well. It's a love story, a story of deceit and a story of revenge, of sorts, that relies on more than one promise. The beginning is a montage that shows the viewer the uncomplicated, yet intense, love between two young college students. Enter the complication, a near-fatal car crash.Then, enter mother. Beatrice Straight plays "matron" so well, it almost creeps one out. Authoritative, hard, selfish. One has to believe that the two lovers, Nancy (Kathleen Quinlan) and Michael (Stephen Collins) just couldn't be stopped had the car accident not shattered their lives. Fate intervened, choices had to be made, situations were controlled with undeniable uncaring. But life has a way of stepping in; destiny will not be driven from its path. The cast is perfect and the music is obvious, but not intrusive. This is a film I've watched several times and have never been disappointed in.

Very good chick flick even with the bad nose and teeth for Kathleen Quinlan. I saw this movie at Radio City Music Hall when it opened there in March of 1979 (I believe it was St. Patrick's Day). Somewhat predictable all the way thru but the actors do a great job in making you care that it turns out right in the end.
